Constitutive surface expression of the thromboxane A2 receptor is Pim kinase-dependent.

Background: The thromboxane A2 receptor (TPαR) plays an important role in the amplification of platelet responses during thrombosis. Receptor activity is regulated by internalization and receptor desensitization. The mechanism by which constitutive surface expression of the TPαR is regulated is unknown.

Multi-physics numerical simulation study on thermo-sensitive gel delivery for a local post-tumor surgery treatment.

Numerous studies in the literature have proposed the use of thermo-responsive hydrogels for filling cavities after tumor resection. However, optimizing the injection process is challenging due to the complex interplay of various multi-physics phenomena, such as the coupling of flow and heat transfer, multi-phase interactions, and phase-change dynamics. Therefore, gaining a fundamental understanding of these processes is crucial.

Sensors Based on Molecularly Imprinted Polymers in the Field of Cancer Biomarker Detection: A Review.

Biomarkers play a pivotal role in the screening, diagnosis, prevention, and post-treatment follow-up of various malignant tumors. In certain instances, identifying these markers necessitates prior treatment due to the complex nature of the tumor microenvironment. Consequently, advancing techniques that exhibit selectivity, specificity, and enable streamlined analysis hold significant importance.

Surface-enhanced Raman sensor with molecularly imprinted nanoparticles as highly sensitive recognition material for cancer marker amino acids.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful technique primarily due to its high sensitivity and signal-enhancing properties, which enable the identification of unique vibrational fingerprints. These fingerprints can be used for the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases such as cancer. It is crucial to selectively identify cancer biomarkers for early diagnosis.
