Liquid biopsy epigenetics: establishing a molecular profile based on cell‐free DNA

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) fragments in plasma from cancer patients carry epigenetic signatures reflecting their cells of origin. These epigenetic features include DNA methylation, nucleosome modifications, and variations in fragmentation. This review describes the biological properties of each feature and explores optimal strategies for harnessing cfDNA ...

Compromise kinetic-fluid model of electrons dynamics in electric propulsion devices with closed electrons drift as an alternative to the hybrid PIC-Fluid method

open access: yesАвіаційно-космічна техніка та технологія
Electric propulsion devices with closed electron drift include Hall effect thrusters, plasma-ion thrusters with a radial magnetic field, and helicon thrusters, which are sources of plasma, ions, and electrons. Within the framework of the hybrid PIC-Fluid

Value of MRI Outcomes for Preventive and Early‐Stage Trials in Spinocerebellar Ataxias 1 and 3

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To examine the value of MRI outcomes as endpoints for preventive and early‐stage trials of two polyglutamine spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs). Methods A cohort of 100 participants (23 SCA1, 63 SCA3, median Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) score = 5, 42% preataxic, and 14 gene‐negative controls) was scanned at 3T up ...

Design of a Motor-Torsion Driven 3D-Printed Left Ventricular Mock Circulation System and Hemocompatibility Assessment

open access: yesApplied Sciences
In vitro testing of ventricular assist devices, constructing a mock circulation system that reproduces physiological cardiac function, is critical. However, current ventricular simulators often lack biomimetic fidelity and may introduce hemolysis and ...

Experimental demonstration of advanced ISO-FLUX equilibrium control during the first JT-60SA operational phase under DEMO-relevant conditions

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
In the control of large superconducting tokamaks, particularly for devices like DEMO reactors, where no stabilizing plates or in-vessel coils can be mounted due to the existence of tritium breeding blankets, position, shape, and current of plasmas must ...

Evaluation of systemic absorption and bronchodilator effect of glycopyrronium bromide delivered by nebulizer or a dry powder inhaler in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2019
Background Effective bronchodilator therapy depends upon adequate drug deposition in the lung. COPD patients who are unable to administer medications efficiently with conventional inhalers may benefit from the use of a nebulizer device.
