Article #A1:
Wu, H., Li, Z., Li, H, & Wu, S. (2016). Quantitative phase imaging of breast cancer cell based on SLIM. Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 679(1), 1-5. doi: 10.1088/1742-6596/679/1/012003

Background

In this article, Wu et al. (2016) used quantitative process in analyzing data created from observing the cell dynamics, in which they used spatial light interference microscopy or SLIM to come up with the data. In this process, they combined the Zernike’s phase contrast microscopy, as well as, Gabor’s holography. Zernicke discovered it back in 1935 when he was able to observe phase objects that did ...

- Cell Culture and Cell Lines:
Three breast cancer cell lines: CAL120, EVSAT and MDA-MB-231, were cultured individually, in RRMI 1640 supplemented with 20% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), 100U/ml Penicillin, 100U/ml Streptomycin and L-Glutamine. The cells were cultured and maintained in an incubator at 370C supplied with 5% CO2. For subsequent experiments, the cells were further cultured till confluence, in 6 well and 96 well plates using RPMI+20%FBS.
1.2 Treatment of Cells:
For treatment, 1x106 cells were seeded in 6 well culture plates, and incubated for 24 hrs. After 24 hours, the old media ...

Immunotherapy in Treating Human Cancer

The immune system of our body is a complex network of tissues, cells, and organs that act mutually to protect our body from unknown foreign trespassers. It recognizes the harmful particles entering the body and facilitates the destruction of those particles in order to shield the body system from any ailment. Due to any complexity or disturbance often the immune system targets the wrong particle considering it as a dangerous particle and this anomaly of the immune system may result in various autoimmune diseases like arthritis, allergies, malignancies, and AIDS (Understanding the ...

Environmental Hormone Mimics

Hormone mimics are types of chemicals in the environment that mimic the natural hormones in the body. Wagner and Oehlmann (1999) list three pathways xenohormones (foreign hormones) enter the body. When the xenohormones enter the body it is called “xenohormones uptake.” They are (1) breathed in from the air, (2) absorbed from body lotions, perfumes and deodorants, and (3) eaten with food that has been stored in containers or plastic wrap containing the chemicals.
Estrogen, androgen and thyroid hormones are “chemical messengers” made by glands (like the thyroid gland and adrenal gland) to regulate different processes in the ...
