Understanding women’s decision making for and against oncoplastic breast conserving surgery as an alternative to mastectomy in early breast cancer: UK ANTHEM qualitative study (2024)
Journal Article

ABSTRACT

Background: Oncoplastic breast conserving surgery (OPBCS) may allow women with early breast cancer to avoid mastectomy, but many women choose more extensive surgery even when breast conserving options are offered. Reasons for this are un...

Thermosensory spiking activity of proteinoid microspheres cross-linked by actin filaments (2024)
Journal Article

Actin, found in all eukaryotic cells as globular (G) or filamentous (F) actin, undergoes polymerization, with G-actin units changing shape to become F-actin. Thermal proteins, or proteinoids, are created by heating amino acids (160-200 °C), forming p...
