Lab-on-a-chip for Urology

In an effort to make a diagnosis of diseases, to assess the treatment outcomes and to evaluate the prognosis, many investigators are currently dedicating themselves to identifying disease markers more easily through a minimally-invasive method using human samples. This has eventually improved the results of critical analysis of individual steps of the various methods. Nevertheless, much scienti...

Hybridoma: On-chip Cell Fusion Lab in a Tube Lab on a Chip

Antibodies have been used for many different applications ranging from basic biological studies to therapeutics. For example, antibodies are used in treatments as wide ranging as cancer care, autoimmune disease therapy, and to prevent rejection of transplanted organs. This requires large quantities of antibodies, which can be supplied via hybridoma generation. Hybridomas are hybrid cell lines f...

Weapons of Mass Destruction: The Terrorist Threat

The possibility of a terrorist attack using nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons is an ongoing debate in the national security policy arena. While terrorist motivations have traditionally been political ones that would not benefit from such an attack, concern is now voiced over a possible trend of inflicting greater numbers of casualties. Terrorists most likely to attempt attacks with weapo...
