Biological autoluminescence enables effective monitoring of yeast cell electroporation.

The application of pulsed electric fields (PEFs) is becoming a promising tool for application in biotechnology, and the food industry. However, real-time monitoring of the efficiency of PEF treatment conditions is challenging, especially at the industrial scale and in continuous production conditions.  To overcome this challenge, we have developed a straightforward setup capable of real-time detection of yeast biological autoluminescence (BAL) during pulsing.

Kohonen Network-Based Adaptation of Non Sequential Data for Use in Convolutional Neural Networks.

Convolutional neural networks have become one of the most powerful computing tools of artificial intelligence in recent years. They are especially suitable for the analysis of images and other data that have an inherent sequence structure, such as time series data. In the case of data in the form of vectors of features, the order of which does not matter, the use of convolutional neural networks is not justified.

Biological autoluminescence as a noninvasive monitoring tool for chemical and physical modulation of oxidation in yeast cell culture.

Normal or excessive oxidative metabolism in organisms is essential in physiological and pathophysiological processes, respectively. Therefore, monitoring of biological oxidative processes induced by the chemical or physical stimuli is nowadays of extreme importance due to the environment overloaded with various physicochemical factors. Current techniques typically require the addition of chemical labels or light illumination, which perturb the samples to be analyzed.

Pulsating electromagnetic field stimulation prevents cell death of puromycin treated U937 cell line.

Aim of study was to verify whether pulsating electromagnetic field (PEMF) can affect cancer cells proliferation and death. U937 human lymphoid cell line at densities starting from 1 x 10(6) cells/ml to 0.0625 x 10(6) cells/ml, were exposed to a pulsating magnetic field 50 Hz, 45+/-5 mT three times for 3 h per each stimulation with 24 h intervals.

Intrarectal vaccination with recombinant vaccinia virus expressing carcinoembronic antigen induces mucosal and systemic immunity and prevents progression of colorectal cancer.

The gastrointestinal mucosa contains an intact immune system that protects the host from pathogens and communicates with the systemic immune system. Absorptive epithelial cells in the mucosa give rise to malignant tumors although the interaction between tumor cells and the mucosal immune system is not well defined. The pathophysiology of colorectal cancer has been elucidated through studies of hereditary syndromes, such as familial adenomatous polyposis, a cancer predisposition syndrome caused by germline mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli tumor suppressor gene.
