Introduction: The present study was done to assess the effect of molecularly-targeted core/shell of iron oxide/gold nanoparticles (Fe3O4@AuNPs) on tumor radiosensitization of SKBr-3 breast cancer cells.Methods: Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2)-targeted Fe3O4@AuNPs were synthesized by conjugating trastuzumab (TZ, Herceptin) to PEGyla
Background.Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) offers advantages to the donor.The reported incidence of testicular pain after LDN varies in the literature ranging from 3% to 55%.Methods.A survey was sent to 322 male LDN patients who donated from February 5, 2009, to February 5, 2019.The survey assessed if the donor had testicular pain or saw an ad
Abstract Background Metazoan cells only utilize a small subset of the potential DNA replication origins to duplicate the whole genome in each cell cycle.Origin choice is moen finney linked to cell growth, differentiation, and replication stress.Although various genetic and epigenetic signatures have been linked to the replication efficiency of orig
In this work, we report a new chaotic population biology system with one prey and two predators.Our new chaotic population model is derived by introducing two nonlinear interaction terms between the prey and predator-2 to the Samardzija-Greller population biology system (1988).We show that the new chaotic population biology system air compressor ta
