Accurate detection and quantification of biomarkers at ultra-low levels is critical for disease diagnosis effective treatment. Traditional technologies often lack the sensitivity, specificity, throughput, or multiplexing capacity required comprehensive diagnostics, providing only a subset these requirements. Here, we introduce AVAC, an automated optical technology rapid accurate biomarker with ultra-high sensitivity that significantly outperforms standard clinical assays. The core this...
Abstract Purpose: Polyamines are important regulators of cell growth and death. The polyamine modulated factor-1 (PMF-1) is involved in homeostasis. After identifying an enriched CpG island encompassing the PMF1 promoter, we aimed at evaluating clinical relevance methylation bladder cancer. Experimental Design: epigenetic silencing by hypermethylation was tested cancer cells (n = 11) after azacytidine treatment. status evaluated 507 tumors 118 urinary specimens patients controls. protein...
Bacillus Calmette-Guerin is standard treatment to decrease tumor recurrence and delay progression of high risk, nonmuscle invasive bladder tumors. However, it not yet clear which T1G3 cases are more prone aggressive clinical behavior or susceptible respond bacillus Calmette-Guerin. We evaluated the role myopodin methylation as a outcome prognosticator predictive biomarker for response in patients with tumors.We analyzed status specimens from 170 cancer, including subset 108 who underwent...
Myopodin is an actin-binding protein that shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm. After identifying enriched CpG island encompassing transcription site of myopodin, we aimed at evaluating potential relevance myopodin methylation in bladder cancer. The epigenetic silencing by hypermethylation was tested cancer cells (n=12) before after azacytidine treatment. associated with gene expression, being increased vitro this demethylating agent. status promoter then evaluated methylation-specific...
In the rapidly emerging field of biomedical applications, multifunctional nanoparticles, especially those containing magnetic and plasmonic components, have gained significant attention due to their combined properties. These hybrid systems, often composed iron oxide gold, provide both optical functionalities offer promising avenues for applications in multimodal bioimaging, hyperthermal therapies, magnetically driven selective delivery. This paper focuses on implementation advanced...
Plasmonic-based biosensors have gained prominence as potent optical biosensing platforms in both scientific and medical research, attributable to their enhanced sensitivity precision detecting biomolecular chemical interactions. However, the detection of low molecular weight analytes with high specificity remains a complex unresolved issue, posing significant limitations for advancement clinical diagnostic tools device technologies. Notably, abnormal cholesterol levels are well-established...
