The adult mammalian heart possesses little regenerative potential following injury. Fibrosis
due to activation of cardiac fibroblasts impedes cardiac regeneration and contributes to loss …

Inflammatory mechanisms influence tumorigenesis and metastatic progression even in cancers
whose aetiology does not involve pre-existing inflammation or infection, such as breast …

Myocardial infarction (MI) leads to cardiomyocyte death, which triggers an immune response
that clears debris and restores tissue integrity. In the adult heart, the immune system …

Surface functionalization via molecular design has been a key approach to incorporate new
functionalities into existing biomaterials for biomedical application. Mussel-inspired …

Process mining techniques are able to extract knowledge from event logs commonly available
in today’s information systems. These techniques provide new means to discover, monitor…

Within this monograph a comprehensive and systematic knowledge on shallow-water
hydrodynamics is presented. A two-dimensional system of shallow-water equations is analyzed, …

Dynamic microarrays hold great promise for advancing research in proteomics, diagnostics
and drug discovery. However, this potential has yet to be fully realized due to the lack of …

The adult mammalian heart has limited potential for regeneration. Thus, after injury,
cardiomyocytes are permanently lost, and contractility is diminished. In contrast, the neonatal heart …

Plant antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have evolved differently from AMPs from other life forms.
They are generally rich in cysteine residues which form multiple disulfides. In turn, the …

Conventional immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a widely used diagnostic technique in tissue
pathology. However, this technique is associated with a number of limitations, including high …
