Silver staining is used to detect proteins after electrophoretic separation on polyacrylamide gels. It combines excellent sensitivity (in the low nanogram range) with the use of very simple and cheap equipment and chemicals. For its use in proteomics, two important additional features must be considered, compatibility with mass spectrometry and…[Read more]

Tertiapin-Q clinical trial 201810075-10086. The above article, published online on 20 August 2018 in Wiley…[Read more]

r dental displacement.

The supporting teeth presented a tendency for vestibular crown displacement and lingual root displacement associated with compression areas in the vestibular-cervical region and tensile strength in the linguoapical region. Placing the expander screw in a more occlusal and anterior position generated more mechanical stress…[Read more]

The addition of very long peptides (70-100 residues) to the data set decreased the model accuracy and changed the influential descriptors. The developed model can be used to predict the CAC of self-assembling amphiphilic peptides and also to derive rules to apply in designing novel amphiphilic peptides with desired…[Read more]

The bacterial-mediated synthesized AgNPs inhibited the growth of pathogenic strains B. cereus and P. aeruginosa and developed a clear zone of inhibition (ZOI). The MIC and MBC for both pathogens were 12.5 µg/mL and 25 µg/mL, respectively. Moreover, field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed that the synthesized AgNPs can d…[Read more]

Compared with polymer microfluidic devices, glass microfluidic devices have advantages for diverse lab-on-a-chip applications due to their rigidity, optical transparency, thermal stability, and chemical/biological inertness. However, the bonding process to construct glass microfluidic devices usually involves treatment(s) like high temperature…[Read more]

Moreover, 30.1% of children and 21.3% of young adults met the criteria for problematic internet use. The study showed considerable stress perceived by young adults and symptoms of mental health problems, especially among females, during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Switzerland.Recently, interest has grown by focusing on the evaluation of a…[Read more]

Increasing evidence shows that numerous cancer-testis antigens (CTAs) are uniquely overexpressed in various types of cancer and most CTAs are oncogenic. Overexpression of oncogenic CTAs promotes carcinogenesis, cancer metastasis, and drug resistance. Oncogenic CTAs are generally associated with poor prognosis in cancer patients and are an…[Read more]

Pandemic SARS-CoV-2 has ushered in a renewed interest in science along with rapid changes to educational modalities. While technology provides a variety of ways to convey learning resources, the incorporation of alternate modalities can be intimidating for those designing curricula. We propose strategies to permit rapid adaptation of curricula to…[Read more]

The microdosimetry results were consistent with the cell viability measurements, and it was found that161Tb was more efficient than177Lu primarily due to the short range auger electrons. We foresee that imaging based microdosimetry can be used to evaluate the relative therapeutic effect between various nuclide candidates.Cerebral perfusion…[Read more]
