Numerical Modeling of a Metamaterial Biosensor for Cancer Tissues Detection
In this paper, the numerical design and simulate a biosensor to detect tumors and cancerous tissues by using metamaterial structures in the microwave regime are presented. The presented structure consists of a microstrip transmission line and a split ring resonator (SRR) that form a bandpass filter and has a unique resonance frequency. Given that cancerous tissues have larger volumes of water t...
متن کاملEvaluation of GNMT Gene Expression in Prostate Cancer Tissues using Real-Time PCR
Introduction: Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In the present study, the expression level of glycine N-methyl transferase gene (GNMT) was investigated in prostate cancer tissue. The GNMT enzyme is encoded by the GNMT gene. Increased GNMT gene expression increases the conversion of glycine to sarcosine and results in the e...
متن کاملDetection of Toxoplasma gondii DNA in Malignant Breast Tissues in Breast Cancer Patients
Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy in women throughout the world. Similar to other cancers, a strong relationship between breast cancer and environmental factors such as infectious agents has been reported. Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite which may play a role in cancer induction. The present study aimed to investigate a possible association between a history of T. gondii ...
متن کاملDetection of superoxide in cells, tissues and whole organisms.
The radical anion of dioxygen superoxide (O2.-) is a physiological free radical formed in various enzymatic processes. On the one hand superoxide is a precursor of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (hydroxyl radicals, peroxy radicals, hydrogen peroxide, peroxynitrite, etc.), -the initiators of cellular damage; on the other hand it is a signaling molecule regulating numerous physiological pro...
متن کاملEvaluation of gene expression level of GPRC6A, E.cadherin and ZEB1 in prostate cancer in comparison to benign tissues
Background: Prostate cancer is currently the third malignant disease in Iran and fifth common cancer worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the expression of GPRC6A, E.cadherin, and ZEB1 genes in prostate cancer in comparison with benign tumor. Since early detection of cancer plays an important role in treatment, this study aims to identify the role of GPRC6A, E.cadherin and ZEB1 gen...
