MICROENVIRONMENTAL STIFFNESS ENHANCES GLIOMA CELL PROLIFERATION BY STIMULATING EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR SIGNALING.

Microenvironmental stiffness enhances glioma cell proliferation by stimulating epidermal growth factor receptor signaling.

The aggressive and rapidly lethal brain tumor glioblastoma (GBM) is associated with profound tissue stiffening and genomic lesions in key members of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway.Previous Unframed Basketball Photos studies from our laboratory have shown that increasing microenvironmental stiffness in culture can strongly enhan

Tactile Feels in Grasping/Cutting Processes with Scissors

Understanding the dynamic phenomena in grasping/cutting processes with scissors is important for the design of surgical robots and virtual reality systems.Here, we show the relationship between the mechanical stimuli and tactile sensations when forceps or scissors are used.Nineteen subjects grasped or cut objects and evaluated the tactile sensation

Stethoscope hygiene: A legal consideration for cardiologists practicing in a new era of infection control (COVID-19)

The stethoscope is a tool cherished by the field of cardiology and ubiquitous throughout medicine.However, little consideration has been given to its safe ORG HULLED BUCKWHEAT usage regarding its potential for pathogenic contamination despite thorough evidence that stethoscopes can harbor pathogens that can be transmitted to patients upon contact.T
