Translation of Nanotechnology in Cancer (TONIC) - Novel Nanotechnology Platform for Breast Cancer Treatment

Apparently thuman epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression occurs in 20%–25% of all breast cancers and it’s associated with a poor prognosis.

Can a multifunctional trimodal combination (chemotherapeutic agent, molecular targeted therapy and HSP90 inhibitor) polymeric nanoparticle more effectively, less toxically treat HER2-positive breast cancers than care as usual?

Can we get a thread on anti-aging and lengthening lifespans?

Any possibilities, and problems with those possibilities. And ways to get around said problems. And more problems. And repeat. Until we get to even a slightly plausible solution.

Then, maybe somebody like Qin Shi Huang will say, "Hey, maybe if we try to make this better, it will work in a few thousand years!"

Okay, so cells that can replentish their own telomeres is a problem.
Is there a way to utilize viruses as a method of introducing a set number of new telomeres to cells? If someone had weekly injections of telomere transporters that affected, say, 10M random cells in the body, then wouldn't this avoid the cancer hell path and still give the genome some padding for splits?

Lengthened Lifespan Artemis 16/02/09(Tue)18:28 No. 16278 ID: fd4497

The trick to lengthening human lifespan lies within the active regeneration chemical that lies within blood.

The younger the person, the more of the chemical exists within the person.

Currently, the only way to gain access to this chemical's beneficial properties in order to apply it's use to lengthen lifespans is to receive repeated blood transfusions from someone 10 or over years younger than the subject that has a compatible blood type.

Of course this is subject to the chance of rejection.

Other than this, research is currently underway to try to recreate this chemical in a lab environment.

If this is not possible, blood transfusions may be the only way.

Of course this explains the myth of vampires, so enjoy this new knowledge that has in fact been kept secret for a long long time.

Homosexuality, could it be an anomaly in brain developement? Dr. Nick Riviera 15/02/05(Thu)04:59 No. 16039 ID: 8ec688 [Reply]

Hi guys, to begin I just want to make a couple of things clear.

- This thread is NOT about discrimination of homosexuals.
- This thread is NOT about considering homosexuality as disease.
- This thread is for pure scientific discussion.

Well, let me begin by telling you that I'm a med student and a embriology assistant at my university and I'm not a native english speaker, so you may encounter some grammatical errors in the text, but you'll get the point.
This whole dilemma began two weeks ago, when my brother told my family that he is gay. It was quite a shock, not because of the fact of him being gay but because he doesn't fit the gay man stereotype. He's a big dude, loves sports, bearded, the true definition of what some call "manly man". We accepted him, of course, and I have to say I've never seen him happier.
But after a few days I began to think, was he always gay? Did he decided to be gay? Why now? These questions started lingering in my mind. So I went to talk with my him about it.
He told me that he always has been, for as long as he remembers. Nothing has changed about him, except for his sexuality (for us, not for him haha). So that got me even MORE questions. Why are some gay men that are like extremely feminine? Why are some gay women extremely masculine? Why are gay guys like my brother who don't appear to be gay? Why do some gay people feel like they are traped inside the other genders body and need to get medical treatment (sex change surgery, hormone therapy) and why others don't?And why are there women like that too? Why many species, whose main goal is to survive (actually this is every species main goal, it's literally in our DNA), has certain individuals who are the contrary to this?
So I decided to tackle all these matters from a scientific point of view? What if during the development of the lymbic system (the part of the brain which controles emotions, memory, sexual desire, etc.) something doesn't go as it should?
So after I thought of this I told myself I couldn't be the first one to ask myself these questions. And of course I wasn't in a world with 7 billion people so thanks to the magical power of the internet I managed to get a cool text about the subject. I took some paragraphs which I thought were the most interesting, still I'm leaving the link (please don't take the text as discriminatory, it's merely scientific, it refers to homosexuality as an anomaly in brain developement because seen from a medical point of view it is, still doesn't mean it's moraly wrong).

"..the body and the brain first become sexually differentiated at about the third fetal month. Prior to this age, although genetically male or female, the fetus is physically/sexually-neutral.

Thus, we have to ask ourselves, "Are gay men effeminate because they are effeminate, or are they effeminate because we notice and remember every single case of gay men being effeminate?"

The answer is probably some of both. "Stereotypes exist for a reason" is an incredibly true statement, if for no other reason than "someone is propagandizing a stereotype" (see: WWII & the Holocaust).

All that being said, the short answer to a lot of the questions people ask about sexuality is: "Its complicated" because it is. To rapidfire answer some faqs, though:

>Is being gay genetic or learned
Almost entirely genetic, bisexuality can somewhat be "learned"
>Can you be a masculine gay man or an effeminate gay woman?
Absolutely
>Can you be a gay transexual?
100%
>Is being transexual genetic or learned
As with homosexuality, it is roughly 100% genetic
>Is there a scientific correlation between homosexuality and masculinity/effeminacy for a specific gender?

You make some very good points. I do not have a great understanding of anatomy or biology as a whole, but I have always believed that the reasons behind a person's personality was genetic (to a point) or atleast heavily affected by it. As you said, society also plays a role in the perception or movement on these actions relating to personality. If you are conditioned by the people and ideals around you to be something else, then you most likely are going to become that. Also pertaining to the environment around someone, and how it effects them: if a gay man for instance was only in contact or even only knew of women (besides himself), then this man would have little idea that he was gay. Perhaps he would not feel whole, or a little voice in the back of his head wanting something different, but the idea of wanting someone different would be little existent. I ocassionaly see posts on other imageboards following the idea "the internet made me gay". Perhaps these people always considered themselves straight (as heterosexual is the norm) and never saw gay porn because the mentality " I'm straight not gay, I don't watch gay porn", and once being exposed, they realised these suppresed or blinded tendencies.

Beginners questions about relays and what not Anonymous 16/01/22(Fri)20:33 No. 16271 ID: 2ff71e [Reply]

File 14534912089.jpg - (154.50KB , 291x640 , relay.jpg )

I'm currently building a switch cabinet or whatever it's called, its supposed to operate a servo motor and an asynchron motor. One of the tasks is to use a relay for the emergency stop, and it's supposed to be wired so that the ES has an NO and an NC switch. When ES is pushed, the relay will lose contact with the contactors. I kinda get that part, but why not just have two NC switches hooked up to the contactors? What exactly is the point of messing around with the relay?

Also, if i could get a quick word on how the wiring described on this relay (Jokab rt9) works, i'd be more than thankful. I assume i just hook it up the way it's described, but i don't fully understand the logic behind it. Seems more reasonable to me to just go with 2 NC switches and skip the relay altogether.

This might seem like an idiotic question, but i'd like to find out the science behind sounds and what not. Such as in music.
For example, if a catchy tune could be broken down into numbers, i would like to know how.
I also know that if it was that easy, people would already be doing it.

To be perfectly honest, i know nothing about the subject, but i have to start somewhere.
So my very first step is asking you guys.
I will learn more in time of course. This was just the first place i thought of asking, because i assume you won't get angry at me.

hmm.
good questions. well, when something is distorted, for this example we'll use a distortion effect on an electric guitar or something, the effect adds harmonic and inharmonic overtones or partials [so, more frequencies, more complexity to the actual sound wave] to the signal, and may alter the main harmonics, which creates a different timbre [or.. texture, sort of how it sounds].

OH, got it. check this out --> https://www.coursera.org/course/digitalsounddesign

take that course, it'll teach you a lot.

look into acoustics if you wanna know about sound waves and how they work and how they bounce around.

look into human psychology, auditory processing, and psychoacoustics if you wanna know about how sound works with our brains and why we like certain sounds and dislike other sounds.

look into sound design if you wanna learn how to create sounds yourself.

Conservation of Angular Momentum Anonymous 15/12/06(Sun)08:36 No. 16253 ID: 237410 [Reply]

How do i find a new speed of two objects that are spinning on top of a merry-go-round? If both objects are on a merry-go-round (on the edge) at a certain speed in meters per second, and one object decides to move to the center of the merry-go-round whilst still spinning. What would be the new speed, with a given radius of the merry-go-round of course. I know I have to use the angular momentum and the momentum formulas. Is there any other formulas that i should considered?

By the way--those two objects are humans, all i know is that the speed would definitely increase.

Anonymous 15/12/06(Sun)17:45 No. 16256 ID: ef0164

You've confused yourself already, you're not looking at momentum you're looking at speed.

Find you angular speed: w=v/r
This is a constant and won't change unless the merry-go-round speeds up/slows down.

You've got w you've got your new radius, if you can't figure the rest you've got problems.
