Towards a personalized approach in pancreatic cancer diagnostics through plasma amino acid analysis
(Anticancer research, 2019)
Background/Aim: Body fluid biomarkers may provide means for early pancreatic cancer diagnosis, patient stratification, application of personalized approaches and, finally, improved outcomes. Amino acids are the most ...
Fast ignitron-based magnetic field pulser for biological applications
(IEEE transactions on magnetics, 2019)
The emerging contactless cell membrane permeabilization methodology (magnetoporation) based on high pulsed magnetic field (PMF) is highly dependent on the applied pulse parameters. Due to the lack of magnetic experimental ...
Nanosecond duration pulsed electric field together with formic acid triggers caspase-dependent apoptosis in pathogenic yeasts
(Bioelectrochemistry, 2019)
Antifungal substances that are used for the treatment of candidiasis have considerable side effects and Candida yeasts are known to obtain drug resistance. The multidrug resistance cases are promoting the search for the ...
Application of pulsed electric fields for the elimination of highly drug-resistant Candida grown under modelled microgravity conditions
(International journal of astrobiology, 2019)
Candida lusitaniae and C. guilliermondii are perfect model organisms for the study of Candida genera behaviour in various conditions. Both of them are rare pathogens capable to cause candidiasis in the patients with weakened ...
Decoupling theranostics with rare earth doped nanoparticles
(Advanced functional materials, 2019)
Theranostic nanoagents targeted for personalized medicine provide a unified platform for therapeutics and diagnostics. To be able to discretely control each individually, allows for safer, more precise, and truly multifunctional ...
Ultrasonic zeppelin-shape transducer for algae oil extraction
(Sensors and actuators A: Physical. 13th International Workshop on Piezoelectric Materials and Applications in Actuators and Energy Conversion Materials and Devices, Jeju, South Korea, August 21-24, 2016, 2017)
Energy consumption worldwide is increasing each year. Alternative energy sources supplement these energy demands. Algae are one of such alternative energy sources. As oil needs to be extracted from the ground, algae are ...
High frequency electroporation efficiency is under control of membrane capacitive charging and voltage potential relaxation
(Bioelectrochemistry, 2018)
The study presents the proof of concept for a possibility to achieve a better electroporation in the MHz pulse rep- etition frequency (PRF) region compared to the conventional low frequency protocols. The 200 ns × 10 pulses ...
Intrapersonal and interpersonal evaluation of upper extremity kinematics
(Technology and health care, 2017)
BACKGROUND: The quality of upper extremity (UE) function can be evaluated by measuring the kinematic parameters of patient movements. OBJECTIVE: This investigation focused on finding the angles and angular velocity amplitudes ...
Reversible permeabilization of cancer cells by high sub-microsecond magnetic field
(IEEE transactions on magnetics, 2017)
Exposure of cells to pulsed electric fields (PEFs) induces a phenomenon known as electroporation, which leads to increase of membrane permeability. Electroporation is applied in biotechnology, food processing, and medicine, ...
Membrane permeabilization of pathogenic yeast in alternating sub-microsecond electromagnetic fields in combination with conventional electroporation
(Journal of membrane biology, 2018)
Recently, a novel contactless treatment method based on high-power pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) was proposed, which results in cell membrane permeabilization effects similar to electroporation. In this work, a new ...
