Characterization of an extendable multi-leaf collimator for clinical electron beams
(Institute of Physics, 2011)An extendable x-ray multi-leaf collimator (eMLC) is investigated for collimation of electron beams on a linear accelerator. The conventional method of collimation using an electron applicator is impractical for conformal, ... -
Cross platform standardisation of an experimental pipeline for use in the identification of dysregulated human circulating MiRNAs
(Public Library of Science, 2015-09-10)Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are a class of highly conserved small non-coding RNAs that play an important part in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. A substantial number of miRNAs have been proposed as biomarkers ... -
Investigation of nanoscale structural alterations of cell nucleus as an early sign of cancer
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: The cell and tissue structural properties assessed with a conventional bright-field light microscope play a key role in cancer diagnosis, but they sometimes have limited accuracy in detecting early-stage cancers ... -
Nerve Growth Factor in Cancer Cell Death and Survival
(MDPI, 2011-02)One of the major challenges for cancer therapeutics is the resistance of many tumor cells to induction of cell death due to pro-survival signaling in the cancer cells. Here we review the growing literature which shows that ...
