A device for performing sonoporation on adherent cell cultures
(2015-06-15)
Sonoporation is a method for inducing a transient increase in the permeability of cell
membranes to otherwise impermeable compounds using ultrasound. This technique has
therapeutic potential as it allows for localized ...
Influence of attention on static balance control and postural adaptations in typically developing children and children who met the criteria for DCD
(2013-02-03)
Attentional issues may be a contributing factor to poor static and dynamic postural control for many children with DCD, particularly since many of them may have a dual diagnosis with ADHD. To date, only a few investigations ...
