Given the increased prevalence of obesity and its associated comorbidities, understanding the mechanisms through which the brain regulates energy balance is of critical importance. The neuropeptide melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is produced in the lateral hypothalamic area and the adjacent incerto-hypothalamic area and promotes both food…[Read more]

Surfactants are commonly found in today’s world as an essential component of cleaning detergents, cosmetics and drug delivery systems. They can penetrate into lipid membranes, thus changing their properties. The aim of this paper is to compare the effect of addition of small amounts of cationic (DTAB) and anionic surfactants (SDS) with the same…[Read more]

Research on the 3D culturing of cancer cells that better mimic in vivo solid tumors is important for efficient drug screening. Herein, a new platform that effectively facilitates the formation of cancer spheroids for anticancer drug screening is reported.
