A medical device-grade T1 and ECV phantom for global T1 mapping quality assurance - The T 1 Mapping and ECV Standardization in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (T1MES) program

September 22, 2016
Author(s)
Gabriella Captur, Peter Gatehouse, Katy Keenan, Friso Heslinga, Ruediger Bruehl, Marcel Prothmann, Martin J. Graves, Richard J. Eames, Camilla Torlasco, Giulia Benedetti, Jacqueline Donovan, Bernd Ittermann, Redha Boubertakh, Andrew Bathgate, Celine Royet, Wenjie Pang, Reza Nezafat, Michael Salerno, Peter Kellman, James C. Moon
Background: T1 mapping and extracellular volume (ECV) have the potential to guide patient care and serve as surrogate end-points in clinical trials, but measurements differ between cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) scanners and pulse sequences. To

After oxidation, zinc nanoparticles lose their ability to enhance responses to odorants

September 20, 2016
Author(s)
Samantha Hagerty, Yasmine C. Daniels, Melissa Singletary, Oleg Pustovyy, Ludmila Globa, William A. MacCrehan, Shinichiro Muramoto, June W. Lau, Edward Morrison, Iryna Sorokulova, Vitaly Vodyanoy, Gheorghe Stan
Electrical responses of olfactory sensory neurons to odorants were examined in the presence of zinc nanoparticles of various sizes and degrees of oxidation. The zinc nanoparticles were prepared by the underwater electrical discharge method and analyzed by

Inhibition of DNA glycosylases in development of cancer therapeutics

September 4, 2016
Author(s)
M Miral Dizdar, Pawel Jaruga, Erdem Coskun, Marcus J. Calkins, Nathan Donley, Dorjbal Dorjsuren, Anton Simeonov, Amanda K. McCullough, R S. Lloyd, Ajit Jadhav
In cancer therapy, the efficacy of therapeutic agents may be influenced by increased DNA repair capacity. This may be due to overexpression of DNA repair proteins that repair therapy-induced DNA lesions in tumors before they become toxic. Inhibition of DNA

Certified DNA Reference Materials to Compare HER2 Gene Amplification Measurements Using Next- Generation Sequencing Methods

September 1, 2016
Author(s)
Chih-Jian Lih, Robin D. Harrington, Kneshay Harper, David J. Sims, Paul McGregor, Corinne Camalier, Han Si, Biswajit Das, P. M. Williams, Hua-Jun He, Jamie L. Almeida, Steven Lund, Steven J. Choquette, Kenneth D. Cole
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Materials 2373 is a set of genomic DNA samples prepared from five breast cancer cell lines with certified values for the ratio of the HER2 gene copy number to the copy numbers of

The Comet Assay: Methods for Quantitative Image Analysis and Reproducibility

September 1, 2016
Author(s)
Donald H. Atha, Signe Braafladt, Vytautas Reipa
The comet assay,or single cell gel electrophoresis,is a sensitive and efficient technique for analyzing DNA damage in the form of single and double strand breaks in single cells. DNA alteration,from strand breaks,can lead to cancer and other health risks

Roles of Nanofiber Scaffold Structure and Chemistry in Directing Human Bone Marrow Stromal Cell Response

August 22, 2016
Author(s)
Sumona Sarkar, Bryan A. Baker, Desu Chen, Patrick S. Pine, Jennifer H. McDaniel, Marc L. Salit, Wolfgang Losert, Carl G. Simon Jr., Joy P. Dunkers
Nanofiber technology has emerged as a promising tool to recapitulate the native extracellular matrix structure; however the properties of nanofibers governing cell-material interactions are still largely undetermined. In this study we have systematically
