Erratum: Quantification of Synergistic Effects of Ceragenin CSA-131 Combined with Iron Oxide Magnetic Nanoparticles Against Cancer Cells [Corrigendum]. [PDF]
Therapeutic efficiency of ceragenins against cancers may be limited by lack of their hemocompatibility when high concentrations of molecules are required to reach a desired result. Synergistic effects observed upon administration of anticancer agents and metal nanoparticles may provide an opportunity to limit toxicity of immobilized ceragenins on the ...

Conformation‐Selective Binding Domains of Intramolecular Chemically Induced Protein Dimerisation Systems [PDF]
Intramolecular chemically induced dimerisation transforms FK506‐ and cyclosporine A‐responsive protein pairs into high‐affinity pseudo‐allosteric switches. Holo‐selective binders isolated by mRNA display convert these switches into gain‐of‐signal biosensors and ultrasensitive ELISAs, enabling direct quantification of both immunosuppressants in ...

FLIP Measurements Predict Short‐Term Outcomes After Singular EsoFLIP Dilation in Patients With Achalasia [PDF]
Changes in EGJ diameter and EGJ cross‐sectional area during EsoFLIP dilation predict short‐term symptomatic response. Intra‐procedural FLIP may help assess treatment adequacy, but prospective validation is required before clinical application. ABSTRACT Background FLIP enables real‐time measurement of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) dimensions and ...
