Microfluidics based cell-cell interaction model by Bak Thavatchalam, Subhashree

“…The combination of the micro fluid platform along with cell culture to study the cell-cell interaction facilitates the complex interactions between the cancer cells and human stromal cells that occur during metastasis in vitro is an example of cell-cell interaction which is quite difficult to understand, so a micro fluidic model that provides better understanding of the invasion of the cancer cells is needed. In this study such a microfuidic chip has been developed whereby the bone marrow stromal cells have been cultured within the chip in a 3D microenvironment. …”

Effect of mangostin on the functional activity and integrity of the Plasmodium falciparum and infected and Uninfected red blood cells membrane by Ibraheem, Z.O., Majid, R.A., Noor, S.M., Farook, M.D., Basir, R.

“…This was achieved by studying its impact on the RBCs morphology, integrity and osmotic fragility. On the one hand, its effect on the plasmodium-infected cells was achieved by screening its impact on the parasite-induced new permeation pathways (NPPs) and the plasmodial invasiveness to the RBCs and these were related to its growth inhibitory effect against the parasite. …”

Tsewang Norbu NGB by Cantwell, C, Mayer, R

“…</p><p> </p><p>Before the Chinese invasion of the mid-twentieth century, numerous hand-written manuscript editions were preserved with reverence in monasteries throughout Tibet, as living embodiments of the rNying ma pa tantric dharma; sadly, it may be that none have survived the destructions following the invasion and the subsequent Cultural Revolution.3 Amazingly, however, the wood-blocks for the single xylograph printed edition of the collection (originally made in sDe dge in the late eighteenth century) did survive, and this edition is now being widely reprinted in Tibet.4</p> <p>With the exception of the sDe dge xylograph from East Tibet, all other currently available editions of the rNying ma'i rgyud 'bum, including the Rig 'dzin Tshe dbang nor bu edition, seem to derive from the Himalayan and Southern Tibetan border areas. …”
