A novel type of graphene-like nanoparticle, synthesized by oxidation and unfolding of C60 buckminsterfullerene fullerene, showed multiple and reproducible sensitivity to Cu2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, and As(III) through different degrees of fluorescence quenching or, in the case of Cd2+, through a remarkable fluorescence enhancement.Most importantly, only for
Context: Breast cancer remains a major health burden worldwide, necessitating improved screening modalities for early detection.However, existing techniques such as mammography and MRI exhibit limitations regarding sensitivity and specificity.Microwave imaging has recently emerged as a promising technology for breast cancer diagnosis, exploiting th
Neutrophil polarity relies on local, mutual inhibition to segregate incompatible signaling circuits to the leading and trailing edges.Mutual inhibition alone should lead to cells having strong fronts and weak backs or vice versa.However, analysis of cell-to-cell variation in human neutrophils revealed that back polarity remains consistent despite c
