Multilayer microfluidic devices often involve the fabrication of master molds with complex geometries for functionality. This article presents a complete protocol for multi-step photolithography with valves and variable height features tunable to any application. As a demonstration, we fabricate a microfluidic droplet generator capable of producing hydrogel beads.

Activation of latent mutations with adenovirus-Cre into the mammary ductal system results in a clinically relevant metastatic breast cancer. Incorporation of a YFP promoter allows tracking of distal metastatic tumor cells. This model is useful to study latent metastasis, anti-tumor immunity, and for designing novel immunotherapies to treat breast cancer.

We have developed a collagen-based in vitro assay which promotes proliferation and invasion from samples of all breast cancer subtypes. Optical Projection Tomography, a three dimensional microscopy technique was utilised to visualise and quantify tumour expansion. This assay may be used to quantify drug response of individual tumour samples.

Single-Port Robotic-assisted Transaxillary Breast-conserving Surgery: A Prospective, Single-arm, Non-randomized Phase IIa Clinical Trial
0 Views •
2025
This prospective study evaluated the implementation of a novel, single-port, robotic platform in oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery for malignant lesions. The primary endpoint focused on technical success, defined as the achievement of tumor-free resection margins confirmed by intraoperative frozen-section histopathology, with secondary assessment of aesthetic outcomes and life quality score of patients.
FAQs
Using a consistent reference height makes measurements comparable among trees, plots, and survey dates. That consistency allows researchers to distinguish differences in stem size from differences caused by where a person measured the trunk. In environmental studies, standardized DBH data therefore support reliable descriptions of forest structure and more defensible comparisons of tree growth or stand composition over time.
Stem form determines whether the standard point can be used directly. Buttresses, swelling, or other irregularities can distort the trunk dimension at 1.3 meters, so the measurement location must be adjusted rather than recorded mechanically at that height. Accounting for these deviations matters because unrecognized changes in measurement position can reduce consistency across trees and field teams.
DBH becomes more informative when interpreted with tree height, species identity, and plot data. The diameter supplies a standardized size variable, while the additional measurements place that size in a biological and spatial context. Together, these data help characterize stand composition and support estimates of biomass and carbon storage, rather than treating stem diameter as a complete description of a forest.
A basic field workflow uses a diameter tape to measure the stem, or uses trunk circumference to calculate diameter. The observer identifies the intended measurement point, checks whether buttresses or swelling affect it, and adjusts the location when necessary. Applying the same approach throughout a survey produces a more consistent dataset for forest inventories and ecological plots.
Larger stem diameters provide a size measure that can be incorporated into estimates of tree biomass and carbon storage. Those estimates become more useful when paired with tree height, species identity, and plot information, because the resulting dataset links individual-tree measurements with forest composition and structure. This supports quantification in inventories and environmental change studies.
Field researchers can use these measurements in forest inventories, habitat assessments, forest health monitoring, ecological surveys, and studies of environmental change. Their value increases when combined with plot-level information, because the data reveal patterns in tree size and stand composition that help researchers assess forest structure and condition across an area.
