In model experiments in vitro, the applicability of the EPR spectrometry method for the detection of modified nanodiamonds (MNDs) in blood and homogenates of mouse organs has been established. A characteristic signal (g = 2.003, ΔH ≈ 10 G) is observe...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the physical and psychosocial wellbeing of the patients and a major cause of work disability. Current drugs for its treatment only provide palliative effect, as cure for the dis...
Focal cortical stroke often leads to persistent motor deficits, prompting the need for more effective interventions. The efficacy of rehabilitation can be increased by 'plasticity-stimulating' treatments that enhance experience-dependent modification...
Pluripotent stem cells can potentially be used in clinical applications as a model for studying disease progress. This tracking of disease-causing events in cells requires constant assessment of the quality of stem cells. Existing approaches are inad...
Transferrin receptor (TfR) is overexpressed on the surface of many cancer cells due to its vital roles in iron circulation and cellular respiration. Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), a truncated extracellular form of TfR in serum, is an important ...
Auditory learning induces frequency-specific plasticity in the auditory cortex. Both the auditory cortex and thalamus are involved in the cortical plasticity; however, the precise role of the intracortical circuity remains unclear until the contribut...
BACKGROUND: Data-driven cell classification is becoming common and is now being implemented on a massive scale by projects such as the Human Cell Atlas. The scale of these efforts poses a challenge. How can the results be made searchable and accessib...
