Robotics for Biological and Medical Applications
This chapter describes research activities currently conducted in the world that are related to robotics for biological and medical applications. Robotics for medical applications started fifteen years ago while for biological applications it is rather new (about five years old). In this chapter, we first discuss why we need robots and automation in biology and medicine. Then we present robotic...
متن کاملImproved spot morphology for printed glycan arrays.
Despite considerable success studying glycan-binding proteins using printed glycan arrays (PGAs), unambiguous quantitation of spot intensities by fluorescent readers remains a challenge. The main obstacles are the varying spot shape and size and in-spot fluorescence distribution caused by uneven drying of the printed drops. Two methods have been suggested for solving this problem: using polymer...
متن کاملMedical Informatics: Concepts and Applications
Medical Informatics is a developing body of knowledge concerned with the use of information and communication technology in support of medical research, education and also for promoting health care delivery. The field focuses on the biomedical information, patient data, and also acquisition, storage, retrieval and optimal use of information for problem solving and decision making. The goal of m...
متن کاملProteomics and metabolomics in biological and medical applications
Biological processes in living organisms consist of a vast number of different molecular networks and interactions, which are complex and often hidden from our understanding. This work is focused on recovery of such details for two quite distant examples: acclimation to extreme freezing tolerance in Siberian spruce (Picea obovata) and detection of proteins associated with prostate cancer. The f...
متن کاملFar infrared radiation (FIR): its biological effects and medical applications.
Far infrared (FIR) radiation (λ = 3-100 μm) is a subdivision of the electromagnetic spectrum that has been investigated for biological effects. The goal of this review is to cover the use of a further sub-division (3- 12 μm) of this waveband, that has been observed in both in vitro and in vivo studies, to stimulate cells and tissue, and is considered a promising treatment modality for certain m...
