Application of the transtheoretical model to sedentary behaviors and its association with physical activity status
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017-04-27)Background: The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) is a successful framework for guiding behavior change programs for several health behaviors, yet its application to reduce of sedentary behavior has been neglected. In addition, ... -
Exploring immunosuppresion with 3D in vitro T-cell attachment and exosome co-culture in dynamic bioreactor flow
(2020-12-18)Cancer is a prevalent disease that impacts many lives all over the world, projected to pass more than 27 million deaths in 2030. Among many cancer therapies and treatment solutions are immunotherapies, which can include ... -
Interistitial laser immunotherapy for treatment of metastatic cancer.
(2011)Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Although widely used, currently available cancer treatment modalities such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation have limited effects in curing the disease and ... -
Mathematical models of the adaptive immune response in a novel cancer immunotherapy.
(2016)The immune system is the first line of defense against cancer. The immune system regularly detects and destroys cancer cells. Despite this continuous protection, certain cancers are able to escape detection or destruction ... -
Monitoring temperature distribution during laser-tissue interaction for cancer treatment using magnetic resonance thermometry.
(2009)One of the major challenges in the field of cancer treatment is to induce a prolonged systemic immune response. Laser immunotherapy has shown its potential as a minimally invasive alternative for many cancer patients due ... -
Phosphatidylserine Targeted Biotechnology Agents for Cancer
(2017-08-16)Cancer is a highly mutating disease that quickly develops resistance to chemotherapies and has a high rate of relapse. If detected early, the survival rate is greater than 90% for most cancers; however if diagnosed during ... -
Therapeutic Applications of Bioconjugates in Human Disease
(2018-12-14)The unifying element tying together the therapeutics presented in this thesis is annexin A5. The protein, annexin 5 (ANXA5), is a membrane management protein that specifically binds to apoptotic cells. The natural ligand ... -
Utilizing Flow Perfusion Bioreactor Systems as Novel Platforms for Cancer Research
(2023-08-04)Cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide, with no signs of slowing down. In 2023 alone, the projected number of deaths from cancer is 600,000, with projected incidences at almost 2 million. Mortality rates have ...
