In this work, we investigated the ability of impedance flow cytometry to measure shape single cells/particles. We found that pulses triggered by micro-objects are asymmetric in morphology show a tilting trend, and there is no such trend for symmetric ones. Therefore, proposed new metric, tilt index, quantify level pulses. Through simulation, value index tends be zero perfectly symmetrical objec...

Abstract Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. Current anticancer drugs involve various toxic side effects; efforts are ongoing to develop new anticancer agents especially from the screening of natural compounds. Present study investigated cytotoxic effects and mode of cell death induced by the Caspian cobra venom in some human cancer cell lines. Cytotoxic effects of snake venom toxin...

One of the critical components of the mechanisms of cell communication and cell computing has been postulated to be spaceand time-organized teleonomic (or goaldirected) shape changes of biopolymers that are driven by exergonic chemical reactions catalyzed by biopolymer shape changes themselves. The generalized Franck-Condon principle resolves the apparent paradox arising when a coupling is atte...

background and aim: horseshoe placenta is a variant of ring-shaped placenta. ring-shaped placenta is a rare anomaly seen in fewer than 1 in 6000 deliveries, which could be seen as horseshoe shape due to atrophy in a portion of the ring. this report refers to a possible relationship between the horseshoe shape placenta and preterm labor; although it has not been yet validated in the literature. ...
