Using macrophage recruitment in tumors, we develop active, transportable, cancer theragnostic macrophage-based microrobots as vector to deliver therapeutic agents to tumor regions. The macrophage-based microrobots contain docetaxel (DTX)-loaded poly-...
MOTIVATION: Predicting the biological functions of proteins is one of the key challenges in the post-genomic era. Computational models have demonstrated the utility of applying machine learning methods to predict protein function. Most prediction met...
G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are important pharmaceutical targets. More than 30% of currently marketed pharmaceutical medicines target GPCRs. Numerous studies have reported that GPCRs function not only as monomers but also as homo- or hetero-d...

Complex tissues such as brain and bone marrow are made up of multiple cell types. As the study of biological tissue structure progresses, the role of cell-type-specific research becomes increasingly important. Novel sequencing technology such as sing...
Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) provides a noninvasive and cost effective solution for in vivo monitoring of blood flow. So far, most of the researches consider changes in speckle pattern (i.e. correlation time of speckle intensity fluctuation)...
LLL-3, an anthracene derived compound, has been shown to be a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of some kinds of cancer such as chronic myeloid leukemia and glioblastoma. However, no data regarding the toxic properties of this compound ha...
