Chemokines (Greek -kinos, movement) are a family of small cytokines, or signaling proteins secreted by cells. Their name is derived from their ability to induce directed chemotaxis in nearby respon...
Nanotechnology has provided the possibility of delivering drugs to specific cells using nanoparticles. The overall drug consumption and side-effects may be lowered significantly by depositing th...
Room size determination
The time it takes for a signal to drop by 60dB is the reverberation time. RT60 is the time required for reflections of a direct sound to decay 60 dB. Reverberation time is frequently stated as a...
Microchannel in microtechnology is a channel with a hydraulic diameter below 1 mm.[1] Microchannels are used in fluid control (see Microfluidics) and heat transfer (see Micro heat exchanger).
A CDK (Cyclin-dependent kinase) inhibitor is a chemical that inhibits the function of CDKs. It is used to treat cancers by preventing overproliferation of cancer cells. Although there is no approve...
Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is a branch of microscopy that forms images of surfaces using a physical probe that scans the specimen. SPM was founded with the invention of the scanning tunneling ...
