Sensing Device for Tissue Integrity & Degradation
Biopsies are a common and integral medical procedure, performed to look for conditions such as cancer, infection, inflammation and autoimmune disorders as well as to examine transplant organs for signs of rejection. When tissue is excised from a patient, the removal from its blood supply and temperature-controlled environment causes biological stress....

Protein Oxidation as a Metric of Blood Sample Integrity
Human blood plasma and serum (P/S) samples from clinical studies are often archived by biobanks for future research. Biospecimen integrity is crucial for ensuring the validity of clinically oriented research. P/S samples are not intrinsically stable. Inappropriate handling and storage conditions can result in protein oxidation, which can dramatically...
