Most studies on new cancer drugs are based on population-derived data, where the absence of response of a small population may pass unnoticed. Thus, individual longitudinal tracking of cells is important for the future development of efficient cancer treatments. We have used digital holographic microscopy to track individual JIMT-1 human breast cancer cells and L929 mouse fibroblast cultivated ...

Aggregative life cycles are characterized by alternating phases of unicellular growth and multicellular development. Their multiple, independent evolutionary emergence suggests that they may have coopted pervasive properties single-celled ancestors. Primitive aggregates, where coordination mechanisms were less efficient than in extant aggregative microbes, must faced high levels conflict betwee...

BACKGROUND AND AIM The aim of our study was to determine the influence of diabetes mellitus (DM) on myocardial reperfusion and left ventricular (LV) remodelling in patients with an acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS The study population consisted of 218 patients with first anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) succe...

This study was aimed to determine the effect of a freezing extender developed for Mesopotamian spiny eel (Mastacembelus mastacembelus Banks & Solander, 1794). Mesopotamian spiny eel was caught from May to July 2017 in the Atatürk Dam Lake and Euphrates Basin (meridians) in Şanliurfa, Turkey. During the study, the animals (n=10; 8 males, 2 females) were caught with gill nets (22 mm×22 mm, mesh s...

This study measured the effects of differing scaffold rigidities on cell motility through whole cell population and individual cell tracking. Previous studies by other groups studying tissue rigidity used 2-dimensional polymer scaffolds as well as Matrigel as a template for in vitro bone research [8, 11]; however, all studies were conducted with low moduli scaffolds, but we used both 2and 3-dim...
