Long-term outcomes of a phase II study of neoadjuvant imatinib in large gastrointestinal stromal tumors of the stomach
Neoadjuvant treatment is recommended for large GISTs due to their friability and risk of extensive operations; however, studies on the indications and long-term results of this approach are lacking.

Parallel volume integral equation method for three-dimensional multiple inclusion problems
In this paper, the volume integral equation method (VIEM) is introduced for the analysis of multiple isotropic/anisotropic inclusions (or inhomogeneities) in an unbounded isotropic matrix. In order to introduc...

Open AccessGreen tea catechin-grafted silk fibroin hydrogels with reactive oxygen species scavenging activity for wound healing applications
Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is known to delay wound healing by causing oxidative tissue damage and inflammation. The green tea catechin, (–)-Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG), has drawn a gr...
