Nanorobotics is an emerging field of research in robotics technology, which may someday benefit clinical medicine by delivering both drugs and diagnostics into the human body. Potential applications of medical nanorobotics include early diagnosis of cancer, neutralisation of viruses, precise and incisionless surgery, targeted drug delivery, and monitoring and treatment of diabetes. To further study...
The positive and negative health effects of dietary carbohydrates are of interest to both researchers and consumers.International experts on carbohydrate research held a scientific summit in Stresa, Italy, in June 2013 to discuss controversies surrounding the utility of the glycemic index (GI), glycemic load (GL) and glycemic response (GR).The outcome was a scientific consensus statement which recognized...
This paper proposes the virtual cancer therapist (VCT), a scalable and robust cancer expert system that makes cancer diagnosis, recommends therapy plans, and simulates therapy plans in silico. This system consists of an evaluation core that makes prognosis and chemotherapy simulations, a biomedical database that supports therapy planning, and an optimizer module that makes cancer diagnosis and produces...

We report the delivery of quantum dot (QD) fluorescence probes into mammalian cells by electroporation and endocytosis. The pH sensitivity of mercaptoacetic-acid-capped CdSe/ZnSe/ZnS quantum dots (MAA QDs) was investigated in both solution and living cells, demonstrating the potential of QDs as an intracellular pH sensor with long-term photostability and limited photobleaching. Further, QDs were utilized...
Altered gene expression was associated with the induction and maintenance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To determine the significance of HCR2 in HCC, here we compare the expression levels of HCR2 in carcinoma and in paired non-carcinoma tissues using semiquantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blot analysis, and immunohistochemical staining. The expression...
