Genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) are relatively new tools for studying the metabolic changes associated with many diseases. GEMs are reconstructions of the metabolic networks of cells, sometimes able to represent an organism’s whole body.
Results for "cancer"
The New Age in Clinical Digital Pathology
This Special Issue in Cytometry Part A reports the latest advances in approaches used to identify cancerous and/or metastatic tissues.

Nanotherapeutic Systems for Local Treatment of Brain Tumors
Malignant brain tumors are heterogeneous and invasive, with high morbidity and mortality rates. The main challenge associated in treating such tumors is the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which actively filters out molecules entering from the blood stream.

Glowing miRNA in vivo
A DNA molecular machine powered by double-stranded fuel strands enables visualization of microRNAs in tumor bearing mice.
Special Issue on Quantitative Phase Imaging for Label-Free Cytometry
A Special Issue that reports on the latest technical developments in QPI used to study the mechanisms of cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, to develop multispecific pharmaceutical formulations, and as a robust segmentation technology for microbial cells.
Quantification of Epithelial Cell Proliferation, Cell Dynamics and Cell Kinetics In Vivo
A review of methods that can be applied to study the control of proliferation (and the proliferative hierarchy, especially the role of the elusive stem cells) in a wide variety of animal models.
Bacteria-Driven Drug Delivery Carriers: A Paradigm Shift
Bacteria-driven microswimmers can release the therapeutic drug specifically at the site of disease by attaching to a certain type of eukaryotic cell.
