Many modern cosmetic or sunscreen products contain nano-sized components. Nanoemulsions are transparent and have unique tactile and texture properties; nanocapsule, nanosome, noisome, or liposome formulations contain small vesicles (range: 50 to 5000 nm) consisting of traditional cosmetic materials that protect light-or oxygen-sensitive cosmetic ingredients. Transdermal delivery and cosmetic re...

Single-cell analysis is a very important field of research and is currently at the frontier of physical and biological sciences. Understanding how the phenotype of a single-cell arises from its genotype is a complex topic. Currently, the prevailing paradigm to analyze cellular functions is the study of biochemical interactions using fluorescence based imaging systems. However, the elimination o...

ed knowledge about an object that can be embedded into a static model is frequently used in bedside surgical care. For example, water in the adult human is commonly modeled to occupy two compartments, an intracellular space and an extracellular space, where the extracellular space itself consists of two compartments, an interstitial space and an intravascular space. Clinical estimates of the ma...
