Careful design of magnetic properties in nanoparticles of alloyed magnetically hard and soft ferrites leads to high-performing particles.
From Microbes and Fetal Allografts to a Better Understanding of Cancer Immune Tolerance
In their ‘Think again’ article published in BioEssays, Megan Barnet and colleagues discuss how insights from fetal allografts and microbes can lead to a better understanding of immune tolerance in cancer.
Dual-Therapy for Skin Cancers
A dual photodynamic and chemo therapy for skin cancers is proposed.
Raman Spectroscopy as a Diagnostic Tool for Skin Cancer
A team of German researchers created a new multimodal system for rapid, noninvasive in vivo skin cancer screening is presented, combining optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optoacoustic (OA) modalities to provide precise tumor depth determination with a Raman spectroscopic modality capable of detecting the lesion type and, thus, providing diagnostic capability.
Kidney Cancer Diagnosis using Raman Spectroscopy
A team of North American scientists discovered that Short wave infrared Raman spectroscopy has the potential to accurately differentiate normal and malignant kidney tumors.
In Situ Vaccination in Cancer Immunotherapy
In situ vaccination therapy has immense potential in cancer treatment for clinical use. To date, in situ vaccination is already used to treat bladder cancer and melanoma, and with further study could become an important approach to expand immune-based cancer treatment.
