متن کاملQuantification of nanoscale density fluctuations by electron microscopy
Most cancers are curable if they are diagnosed and treated at an early stage. Recent studies suggest that nanoarchitectural changes occur within cells during early carcinogenesis and that such changes precede microscopically evident tissue alterations. It follows that the ability to comprehensively interrogate cell nanoarchitecture (e.g., macromolecular complexes, DNA, RNA, proteins and lipid m...

متن کاملQuantification of nanoscale density fluctuations using electron microscopy: Light-localization properties of biological cells.
We report a study of the nanoscale mass-density fluctuations of heterogeneous optical dielectric media, including nanomaterials and biological cells, by quantifying their nanoscale light-localization properties. Transmission electron microscope images of the media are used to construct corresponding effective disordered optical lattices. Light-localization properties are studied by the statisti...
متن کاملCharacterization and DFT Studies for Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles by Morphine Ampules and their Anti-proliferation Activity
This study is a green approach for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using morphine ampoules (MO) as reducing and capping agents. The toxicity effects of prepared particles were evaluated using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay on breast cancer cells. The spherical AgNPs with the average size of 50nm were synthesized and studied by UV–visible s...
