Scientists use scanning tunneling microscopy to understand how a material's electronic or magnetic properties relate to its ...

Understanding the interaction between light and matter at the smallest scales (angstrom scale) is essential for advancing ...

Some mushrooms are sturdier than others, but it isn’t necessarily because of their chemistry – it’s how the filaments that ...

A team of NYU chemists and physicists are using cutting-edge tools—holographic microscopy and super-resolution imaging—to ...

This study explores the use of polarized second-harmonic generation (pSHG) to investigate myosin conformation in the relaxed state, differentiating between the actin-available, disordered (ON) state ...

Due to the lack of objectivity of electron microscope focusing in traditional manual focusing, resulting in inaccurate image focusing, this paper proposes a high-precision focusing method for electron ...

The calcitonin receptor (CTR) is a class B G protein-coupled receptor that is activated by the peptide hormones calcitonin and amylin. Calcitonin regulates bone remodeling through CTR, whereas amylin ...

Review question What is the value of the calcitonin test for the diagnosis of medullary thyroid cancer in people with a thyroid nodule? Background Thyroid nodules are very common in the general ...

Calcitonin is produced by the parafollicular C cells and represents the classical clinical marker for medullary thyroid carcinoma. Here, the authors describe how measurement of basal and ...

Parallel activation of the calcitonin receptor (CTR) and amylin receptor (AMYR) is considered a more effective weight-loss strategy. Although the novel dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonist ...

Updated threshold values of preoperative serum calcitonin predict different extents of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), according to a study published ...

App State researchers develop AI-driven microscope to detect livestock parasites. It could improve accuracy while lowering costs for farmers and veterinarians.
