Hedgehog pathway permissive conditions allow generation of immortal cell lines from granule cells derived from cancerous and non-cancerous cerebellum [PDF]
Cerebellar granule cell progenitors (GCPs) undergo proliferation in the post-natal cerebellum that is dependent on sonic hedgehog (SHH) signalling. Deregulated SHH signalling leads to type 2 medulloblastoma (MB).

Waiting time distributions in hybrid models of motor-bead assays: A concept and tool for inference [PDF]
In single-molecule experiments, the dynamics of molecular motors are often observed indirectly by measuring the trajectory of an attached bead in a motor-bead assay. In this work, we propose a method to extract the step size and stalling force for a molecular motor without relying on external control parameters.

A handheld high-sensitivity micro-NMR CMOS platform with B-field stabilization for multi-type biological/chemical assays [PDF]
We report a micro-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system compatible with multi-type biological/chemical lab-on-a-chip assays. Unified in a handheld scale (dimension: 14 x 6 x 11 cm³, weight: 1.4 kg), the system is capable to detect<100 pM of ...

Bioavailability of Cu and Zn in raw and anaerobically digested pig slurry [PDF]
The impact of anaerobic digestion on the bioavailability of copper and zinc from pig slurry was assessed. Both chemical and biological approaches were used independently on raw slurry (RS) and anaerobically digested pig slurry (DS).

Computation of Biological Assays [PDF]
IN microbiological assays of essential amino-acids, and of members of the vitamin B2 complex other than riboflavin and nicotinic acid, it is usually found that when the mean responses are plotted against either the dose or the logarithm of the dose, a non linear relationship is obtained.
