Nanoscale materials have unique properties that make them especially useful for
biomedical diagnostic applications. Recent developments in nanoengineering have resulted …

Existing at the interface of biology and electronics, living cells have been in use as
biorecognition elements (bioreceptors) in biosensors since the early 1970s. They are an …

Environmental toxins can result in serious and fatal damage in the human heart, while the
development of a viable stratagem for assessing the effects of environmental toxins on …

Abstract Development of new drugs is of high interest for the field of cardiac and
cardiovascular diseases, which are a dominant cause of death worldwide. Before being …

Emerging heart-on-a-chip platforms are promising approaches to establish cardiac
cell/tissue models in vitro for research on cardiac physiology, disease modeling and drug …

Mutations in the lamin A/C gene (LMNA) cause dilated cardiomyopathy associated with
increased activity of ERK1/2 in the heart. We recently showed that ERK1/2 phosphorylates …

We focused on the biomechanical and morphological characteristics of prostate cancer cells
and their changes resulting from the effect of docetaxel, cisplatin, and long-term zinc …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has found a wide range of bio-applications in the past few
decades due to its ability to measure biological samples in natural environments at a high …

Cardiomyocytes (CM) placed on microelectrode array (MEA) were simultaneously probed
with cantilever from atomic force microscope (AFM) system. This electric/nanomechanical …

In the last few decades, many pathogenic or likely pathogenic genetic mutations in over
hundred different genes have been described for non-ischemic, genetic cardiomyopathies …
