TL;DR: The hyperthermic performance of commercially available formulations of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIOs), with core diameter of 5, 7 and 14 nm, in terms of absolute temperature increase ΔT and specific absorption rate (SAR) is studied.

TL;DR: An analytical and computational analysis is performed to study pattern formation during the spreading of an initially circular bacterial colony on a Petri dish, finding the spreading colony is found to be always linearly unstable to perturbations of the interface, whereas branching instability arises in finite-element numerical simulations.

TL;DR: The proposed mathematical model has the potential to provide a relevant benefit for clinicians involved in the treatment of this particularly aggressive disease and, more importantly, they might drive progress towards improving tumor control and patient’s prognosis.

TL;DR: This paper presents a probabilistic procedure for estimating the response of the immune system to laser-spot assisted treatment of central nervous system disease.

TL;DR: It is found that single cell invasion is more conservative with a crucial role played by MMPs and a similar important role is played in cell spheroid invasion, which in comparison is more disruptive.
