Using Genome-Scale Metabolic Models for Human Diseases

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.

Nanotherapeutic Systems for Local Treatment of Brain Tumors

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.
