Microdroplet Temperature Calibration Via Thermal Dissociation of Quenched DNA Oligomers
Here, we present a novel method for calibrating the temperature of microdroplets using quenched, fluorescently labeled DNA oligomers.

Hyperpolarized [1,4-C-13]-Diethylsuccinate: A Potential Dnp Substrate for in Vivo Metabolic Imaging
In this work, the applicability of a novel imaging agent, [1,4-(13)C]-diethylsuccinate, for hyperpolarized (13)C metabolic imaging of the TCA cycle was explored.

PORTR: Pre-Operative and Post-Recurrence Brain Tumor Registration
We propose a new method for deformable registration of pre-operative and post-recurrence brain MR scans of glioma patients. To address this challenging task, our method, called PORTR, explicitly accounts for…

Type IV Collagen α1-Chain Noncollagenous Domain Blocks MMP-2 Activation Both in-Vitro and in-Vivo
In the present study, the regulation of MMP-2 activation by α1(IV)NC1 was evaluated. α1β1-integrin which is required for inhibition of angiogenesis is not playing a role in cellular invasion and inhibition of…

Reduced Quality of Life When Experiencing Menstrual Pain in Women with Primary Dysmenorrhea
We investigated whether QoL varies between women with and without severe primary dysmenorrhea, and whether QoL is impaired only during menstruation or also during pain-free phases of the menstrual cycle.

Computational Models for Neglected Diseases: Gaps and Opportunities
Here, we identify gaps in which computational approaches have been used for some neglected diseases and not others. We also make recommendations for the broad-spectrum integration of these techniques into…
