QUANTUM DOTS FOR MULTIPLEXED DETECTION AND CHARACTERISATION OF PROSTATE CANCER CELLS USING A SCANNING NEAR-FIELD OPTICAL MICROSCOPE.

Quantum dots for multiplexed detection and characterisation of prostate cancer cells using a scanning near-field optical microscope.

In this study scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) has been utilised in conjunction with quantum dot labelling to interrogate the biomolecular composition of cell membranes.The technique overcomes the limits of optical diffraction found in standard fluorescence microscopy and also yields vital topographic information.The technique has been

Practice and Human Form

All variants of pragmatism share the flaw that their concepts of practice rely on the idea of the local value of actions with respect only to locally defined aims and not on the criterion of a universal goodness.This paper claims that such a criterion can be found with the Mens Jackets aid of an ontologically founded theory of the Good, which regar

Inhibition of projections from the basolateral amygdala to the entorhinal cortex disrupts the acquisition of contextual fear

The development of excessive fear and/or stress responses to environmental cues such as contexts associated with a traumatic Mens Jackets event is a hallmark of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).The basolateral amygdala (BLA) has been implicated as a key structure mediating contextual fear conditioning.In addition, the hippocampus has an integr
