Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (CSMC), established in 1902, is a non-profit, tertiary hospital and multi-specialty academic health science center located in Los Angeles, California, United States. Over 500 predoctoral and postdoctoral students, residents, and fellows participate in more than 60 graduate medical education and doctoral programs. CSMC focuses on biomedical research and technologicall...

carbon nanotubes (cnts) are high aspect ratio allotropes of carbon. because of their unique physical and chemical characteristics, they are nominated for a vast variety of applications in the biomedical field. their very low solubility is the only problem of them which is solved by different methods of functionalization. after discoveries in the last few years of the capacity of cnts to penetra...

For twenty years, the HIV epidemic has been defined largely by the dominant Western medical system of biomedicine. Epidemiological studies have identified the virus and its transmission pathways and biomedical institutions, such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), have shaped mainstream intervention programs. Theoretically, biomedicine has the information and resources available to contro...

Despite widespread government and public interest, there are significant barriers to translating basic science discoveries into clinical practice. Biophotonics and biomedical optics technologies can be used to overcome many of these hurdles, due, in part, to offering new portable, bedside, and accessible devices. The current JBO special issue highlights promising activities and examples of tran...

Biomedical research with human subjects has expanded outside of traditional medical centers and hospitals into other health care entities, such as rehabilitation facilities, free-standing out-patient treatment centers, and even home-health agencies. Regardless of the location, federal regulations mandate that all human-subjects research must be overseen by an institutional review board (IRB) or...

Dimensionality reduction is a fundamental problem of machine learning, and has been intensively studied, where classification and clustering are two special cases of dimensionality reduction that reduce high-dimensional data to discrete points. Here we describe a simple multilayer network for dimensionality reduction that each layer of the network is a group of mutually independent k-centers cl...

This article reports stable photoluminescence and high-contrast optically detected electron spin resonance (ODESR) from single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect centers created within ultrasmall, disperse nanodiamonds of radius less than 4 nm. Unexpectedly, the efficiency for the production of NV fluorescent defects by electron irradiation is found to be independent of the size of the nanocrystals. ...
