Splanchnic metabolism of nutrients and hormones in steers fed alfalfa under conditions of increased absorption of ammonia and L-arginine supply across the portal-drained viscera [PDF]

, 2005
Effects of increased ammonia and/or arginine absorption on net splanchnic (portal-drained viscera [PDV] plus liver) metabolism of nonnitrogenous nutrients and hormones in cattle were examined.

Estimation of Blood Glucose Level of Type-2 Diabetes Patients using Smartphone Video [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
This work proposes a smartphone video-based approach for the estimation of blood glucose in a non-invasive way. Videos using smartphone camera are collected from the tip of the subjects finger and the frames are subsequently converted into Photoplethysmography (PPG) waveform.

Hierarchical deep reinforcement learning controlled three-dimensional navigation of microrobots in blood vessels [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Designing intelligent microrobots that can autonomously navigate and perform instructed routines in blood vessels, a complex and crowded environment with obstacles including dense cells, different flow patterns and diverse vascular geometries, can offer enormous possibilities in biomedical applications. Here we report a hierarchical control scheme that

Cellular liquid biopsy provides unique chances for disease monitoring, preclinical model generation and therapy adjustment in rare salivary gland cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We quantified and cultured circulating tumor cells (CTCs) of 62 patients with various cancer types and generated CTC‐derived tumoroid models from two salivary gland cancer patients. Cellular liquid biopsy‐derived information enabled molecular genetic assessment of systemic disease heterogeneity and functional testing for therapy selection in both ...

Deletion of parasite immune modulatory sequences combined with immune activating signals enhances vaccine mediated protection against filarial nematodes [PDF]

, 2012
<p>Background: Filarial nematodes are tissue-dwelling parasites that can be killed by Th2-driven immune effectors, but that have evolved to withstand immune attack and establish chronic infections by suppressing host immunity. As a consequence, the

Targeting rapid TKI‐induced AXL upregulation overcomes adaptive ERK reactivation and exerts antileukemic effects in FLT3/ITD acute myeloid leukemia

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Adaptive ERK reactivation hinders FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment in FLT3/ITD acute myeloid leukemia. Here, we report that FLT3 TKI treatment rapidly induces AXL expression and upregulation that is temporally associated with the adaptive ERK reactivation.
