Article Synopsis
  • - Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is a major global health issue leading to high rates of death and disability, with traditional treatments often harming other body parts.
  • - Micro/nanomotors are tiny, self-propelled devices that can navigate the bloodstream, targeting problematic areas like atherosclerotic plaques and improving treatment effectiveness.
  • - This review examines recent advances in micro/nanomotor technology for treating atherosclerotic disease, their potential in imaging plaques, and the need for personalized treatment approaches that consider individual patient factors.

Objective: To establish human bronchial epithelial cell lines over expressing oncogene and to investigate its application in detection of carcinogen-induced cell transformation.

Methods: Mediated by retrovirus infection, human telomerase catalytic subunit, hTERT was introduced into immortal human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE) and followed by introduction of the oncogenic allele H-Ras(V12), or c-Myc or empty vector, creating cell lines 16HBETR, 16HBETM and 16HBETV, respectively. Biological characteristics of these cell lines including morphology, proliferation, and chromosomal aberration were examined to access whether they were transformed.
