In medical imaging, image registration is the process of transforming different sets of data into one coordinate system, i.e. projecting images into a common reference framework. Clinical data could include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, […]
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is characterized at the molecular level by the accumulation of two specific protein-based pathologies within the brain: amyloid plaques composed of extracellular amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), intracellular […]
Pulmonary fibrosis is a respiratory disease in which scar tissue is formed in the lung that may lead to functional lung volume loss, breathlessness and eventually potentially death. Radiation-induced fibrosis can occur within the lungs […]
Brain metastases, or secondary brain tumours, occur in 10% to 30% of adults with cancer. Treatment for people who developed brain cancer metastasis is often surgery, radiation therapy or both. Clinical evidence suggests however that […]
A major event in cancer progression is angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from the existing vasculature, which provide a means for supplying nutrients and oxygen to a starving growing tumour. Thus, in order […]
Collagen scaffold materials are being investigated for their advantageous features in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. To date, porous collagen sponges have been used to support in vitro growth of many types of tissues, including […]
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C.elegans) has emerged as a powerful model-organism for the study of many different physiological processes. For example the C.elegans has been used extensively to investigate the neuronal and behavioural response and […]
Cardiac biomechanics have proven particularly useful for improving our understanding of heart function in health and disease, providing a quantitative framework for studying cardiac pathophysiology. Personalised cardiac mechanics models, combining mathematical modelling with clinical data, […]
Understanding the physiology and pathology of human organs necessitates understand about cell biology. Cells constitute the building blocks of all living things. Cells provide structure for the body, carry out specialized functions, produce/uptake biochemical cues, […]
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer type in men worldwide, with approximately 500 new cases in Cyprus each year. High dose rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) is gaining considerable popularity as a treatment option, due to […]
