Circulating tumor cell viability during and after radiotherapy mirrors treatment response in cancer patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Radiotherapy (RT) response depends on the DNA repair capacity of tumor and host cells. We show that circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts and apoptosis rates before and after RT predict treatment response and outcome, which can be accessed via easily accessible liquid biopsy approaches. Created in BioRender. Wikman, H.

Toward Autonomous Robotic Colonoscopy: Motion Strategies for Magnetic Capsule Navigation [PDF]

open access: yes2018 IEEE International Conference on Cyborg and Bionic Systems (CBS), 2018
In this paper, a set of techniques aimed at autonomously navigating a tethered magnetic capsule for endoluminal inspection of the large bowel is presented. The manual navigation of magnetic capsules for colonoscopy can exhibit several challenges if the full control of the capsule pose is left to the clinician.
