TL;DR: In this paper, thermally responsive polymeric micelles composed of poly( N -isopropylacrylamide- co -N, Ndimethylacryamide)- b -poly( d,l -lactide) were prepared by dialysis from its dimethylacetamide solution against water.

TL;DR: Highly biocompatible coordination polymer (Prussian Blue) nanoparticles with a hollow interior and a microporous framework (denoted as HPB) are utilized as an anticancer drug capsule for chemotherapy of bladder cancer T24 cells.

TL;DR: It is found that the heat production in a single HeLa cell occurred with some time delay after the ionomycin-induced Ca(2+) influx from the extracellular space, and the increase in temperature was suppressed when Ca( 2+)-ATPases were blocked by thapsigargin.

TL;DR: High-level emotional distress was significantly associated with younger patient age, female family gender, the experience of the physician stating she/he could do nothing for the patient, the physician's unwillingness to explore their feelings, and prognostic disclosure of definite survival periods without probabilities or ranges.

TL;DR: The nanoparticles with positive charge showed higher internalization into human breast cancer cells than the nanoparticle with negative charge, while the degree of internalization of the positively- and negatively-charged nanoparticles into human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) was almost the same.
