With the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope in 1982 by Binnig and Rohrer and the subsequent award of the Nobel Prize, the field of scan- ning microscopy was given a strong boost in view of its wide range of ap- plications.
In the past three decades there has been enormous progressin identifying the essential role that nonlinearity playsin physical systems, including supporting soliton-likesolutions and self-trapped sxcitations such as polarons.
The basis for the effective treatment and cure of a patient is the rapid diagnosis of the disease and its causative agent, which is based on the analysis of the clinical symptoms coupled with laboratory tests.
Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma is a rare thyroid tumororiginating from neural crest cells, the C-cell that impliesseveral special features, secretion of differentneuroendocrine markers, association with other endocrinetumors and familial appearance.
Biological markers used to assess the effects of environmental pollution have attracted considerable attention from regulatory agencies and are currently under evaluation at a number of research facilities throughout the world.
Described here are the practical applications of flow cytometry in specific biological systems, ranging from cell biology to chromosome analysis and sorting.
Provided here is a comprehensive examination of the basicand clinical condition of three innovative and promisingapproaches to cancer therapy, which may support or evensubstitute chemotherapy: differentiation, immunomodulation,and inhibition of angiogenesis.
Key biogeochemical events in the ocean take place in less than a second, are studied in experiments lasting a few hours, and determine cycles that last over seasons or even years.
In the past few years, the Fondation IPSEN has been increasing its activity in the neurosciences, especially by supporting researchers working on Alzheimer's disease.
Recent progress in enzyme immobilisation, enzyme production, coenzyme regeneration and enzyme engineering has opened up fascinating new fields for the potential application of enzymes in a large range of different areas.
