We report on studies of field-effect transistor (FET) and transparent thin-film transistor (TFT)
devices based on lightly Ta-doped SnO 2 nano-wires. The nanowire-based devices exhibit …

Rationale: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous family of myeloid
cells that suppress T-cell immunity in tumor-bearing hosts. Their clinical relevance remains …

Ovarian and endometrial cancer will be diagnosed in over 63,000 women in 2009, resulting
in 22,000 deaths in the USA. Histologic screening, such as pap smears for detection of …

We report the growth and characterization of single-crystalline Sn-doped In 2 O 3 (ITO) and
Mo-doped In 2 O 3 (IMO) nanowires. Epitaxial growth of vertically aligned ITO nanowire …

Paclitaxel is recommended as a first-line chemotherapeutic agent against ovarian cancer,
but drug resistance becomes a major limitation of its success clinically. The key molecule or …

AIM: Although aberrant miRNAs expression has been documented, altered miR-100
expression in cervical cancer and precursor tissues and its carcinogenic effect and mechanism …

Quantitative real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) has proven to be a valuable molecular technique
in gene expression quantification. Target gene expression levels are usually normalized to …

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, persistent inflammatory joint disease with systemic
involvement that affects about 1% of the world’s population, that ultimately leads to the …

Background Monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), particularly the S100A9+
subset, has been shown initial clinical relevance. However, its role in EGFR-mutated lung …

Metabolic bone diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoporosis, affect hundreds
and millions of people worldwide leading causes of long-term pain and disability. Effective …
