Evaluation of P-glycoprotein-targeting circulating microRNAs as peripheral biomarkers for medically intractable epilepsy

Acta Epileptologica, 2023
Background Early diagnosis of medically intractable epilepsy is challenging in clinical work. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is one of the most important multidrug efflux transporters, which has been demonstrated to contribute to the drug resistance of ...

SARS-CoV-2 Virus-like Particles (VLPs) Specifically Detect Humoral Immune Reactions in an ELISA-Based Platform

Antibodies, 2022
A key in controlling the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is the assessment of the immune status of the population. We explored the utility of SARS-CoV-2 virus-like particles (VLPs) as antigens to detect specific humoral immune reactions in an enzyme-linked ...

A novel assay for analysis of the regulation of the function of human osteoclasts. [PDF]

, 2006
BACKGROUND: Very little is known of the regulation of the function of human osteoclasts, largely due to the virtual impossibility of obtaining human osteoclasts ex vivo.
