Exosomes (EXOs) are nano-sized vesicles secreted by most cell types. They are abundant
in bio-fluids and harbor specific molecular constituents from their parental cells. Due to these …

Selective ablation of cancer cells by ultrasound would be transformative for cancer therapy,
but has not yet been possible. A key challenge is that cancerous and non-cancerous cells …

The evaluation of nanomechanical properties of tissues in health and disease is of
increasing interest to scientists. It has been confirmed that these properties, determined in …

Red blood cells (RBCs) are characterized by a remarkable elasticity, which allows them to
undergo very large deformation when passing through small vessels and capillaries. This …

Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a commonly used mouse model of
multiple sclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) …

Forensic estimation of post-mortem interval relies on different methods, most of which,
however, have practical limitations or provide insufficient results, still lacking a gold standard …

The intrinsically disordered tau protein plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other human tauopathies. Abnormal post-translational …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) in spectroscopy mode receives a lot of attention because of
its potential in distinguishing between healthy and cancer tissues. However, the AFM …

Cadaveric rigidity—also referred to as rigor mortis—is a valuable source of information for
estimating the time of death, which is a fundamental and challenging task in forensic …

In physiological conditions, red blood cells (RBCs) demonstrate remarkable deformability,
