BACKGROUND: BRCA carrier identification offers opportunities for early diagnoses, targeted treatment and cancer prevention. We evaluate BRCA- carrier detection rates in general and Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) populations across...
Under conditions of homeostasis, dynamic changes in the length of individual adherens junctions (AJs) provide epithelia with the fluidity required to maintain tissue integrity in the face of intrinsic and extrinsic forces. While...
Poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) has attracted considerable attention as a polymer for drug delivery carriers. However, the hydrophobic property of PLGA often leads to the use of harmful organic solvents and poor...
In this article, we examine the rate of film build-up and the evolution of polymer volume fraction in coagulant dipped films. The results are for nitrile and natural rubber compounds. We describe a model for the build-up of a...
Small drug molecules are widely developed and used in the pharmaceutical industry. In the past few years, loading and delivering such molecules using polymer-shell colloidosomes has attracted interest. Traditional polymer...
HYPOTHESIS: Stratification or self-segregation of multicomponent particle mixtures during drying is an important phenomenon to understand for the development of single-step deposition processes for complex coatings. We...
Patterns in dried droplets are commonly observed as rings left after spills of dirty water or coffee have evaporated. Patterns are also seen in dried blood droplets and the patterns have been shown to differ from patients...
