NANOSCALE QUANTIFICATION OF THE BIOPHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF COMBRETASTATIN A-4-TREATED TUMOR CELLS USING ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPY.

Nanoscale quantification of the biophysical characterization of combretastatin A-4-treated tumor cells using atomic force microscopy.

As an inhibitor of microtubule assembly, combretastatin A-4 (CA-4)-induced biological responses in tumor cells have been well known, but Serving Board the corresponding changes in nano-biophysical properties were not investigated given the lack of an ideal tool.Using AFM technique, we investigated the alteration of nano-biophysical properties when

Gender inequities and global health outcomes

Gender has a great impact on the health of some of the most Blankets vulnerable populations in the world.Cultural biases against females result in: female infanticide, a lack of female immunisation, malnourishment due to neglect in infancy, sexual and physical violence resulting in injury and sexually transmitted disease, female genital mutilation/

The basic reproduction number $R_0$ and effectiveness of reactive interventions during dengue epidemics: The 2002 dengue outbreak in Easter Island, Chile

We use a stochastic simulation model to explore the effect of reactive intervention strategies during the Foot Care 2002 dengue outbreak in the small population of Easter Island, Chile.We quantified the effect of interventions on the transmission dynamics and epidemic size as a function of the simulated control intensity levels and the timing of in
