Hydrophobic Interaction: A Promising Driving Force for the Biomedical Applications of Nucleic Acids

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2020
The comprehensive understanding and proper use of supramolecular interactions have become critical for the development of functional materials, and so is the biomedical application of nucleic acids (NAs).

Pepper-Mediated Green Synthesis of Selenium and Tellurium Nanoparticles with Antibacterial and Anticancer Potential

open access: yesJournal of Functional Biomaterials, 2022
The production of nanoparticles for biomedical applications (namely with antimicrobial and anticancer properties) has been significantly hampered using traditional physicochemical approaches, which often produce nanostructures with poor biocompatibility ...

Psychoanalysis and neurosciences: fuzzy outlines? Notes on the notion of cerebral plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
“Psychoanalysis versus psychiatry” and “unconscious versus brain” are classic oppositions between different perspectives on the human being and mental suffering.

A large‐scale retrospective study in metastatic breast cancer patients using circulating tumour DNA and machine learning to predict treatment outcome and progression‐free survival

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
There is an unmet need in metastatic breast cancer patients to monitor therapy response in real time. In this study, we show how a noninvasive and affordable strategy based on sequencing of plasma samples with longitudinal tracking of tumour fraction paired with a statistical model provides valuable information on treatment response in advance of the ...

Mechanisms and biomedicine

open access: yes, 2017
This chapter provides a "functionalist account" of the ways that mechanisms are sought, formulated, and used in medicine. It considers following six "episodes" to draw out some of the role(s) that mechanisms play in making sense of medicine: aspirin, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-raising drugs; asbestos that is known to be responsible for fatal ...

Photoacoustic imaging in biomedicine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Photoacoustic imaging (also called optoacoustic or thermoacoustic imaging) has the potential to image animal or human organs, such as the breast and the brain, with simultaneous high contrast and high spatial resolution. This article provides an overview

Chemoresistome mapping in individual breast cancer patients unravels diversity in dynamic transcriptional adaptation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study used longitudinal transcriptomics and gene‐pattern classification to uncover patient‐specific mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance in breast cancer. Findings reveal preexisting drug‐tolerant states in primary tumors and diverse gene rewiring patterns across patients, converging on a few dysregulated functional modules. Despite receiving the

Transformer models in biomedicine [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making
AbstractDeep neural networks (DNN) have fundamentally revolutionized the artificial intelligence (AI) field. The transformer model is a type of DNN that was originally used for the natural language processing tasks and has since gained more and more attention for processing various kinds of sequential data, including biological sequences and structured

Trafficking in Cure and Harm: Placebos, Nocebos and the Curative Imaginary

open access: yesDisability Studies Quarterly, 2018
This article tracks the traffic of placebos, nocebos and the effects or meaning-responses that they solicit in order to contribute to wide-ranging critiques of the curative imaginary.
