Nanostructured Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystals Using a Ferroelectric Smectic A Liquid Crystal

Molecules
Nanostructured polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (nano-PDLCs) are transparent and optically isotropic materials in which submicron-sized liquid crystal (LC) domains are dispersed within a polymer matrix. Nano-PDLCs can induce birefringence by applying an

Mass spectrometry‐based top‐down and bottom‐up approaches for proteomic analysis of the Moroccan Buthus occitanus scorpion venom

FEBS Open Bio, 2021
Buthus occitanus (B. occitanus) is one of the most dangerous scorpions in the world. Despite the involvement of B. occitanus scorpion in severe cases of envenomation in Morocco, no study has focused yet on the proteomic composition of the Moroccan B ...

A new method for measuring thyroid hormones using nano-LC-MS/MS [PDF]

Journal of Chromatography B, 2018
This paper describes a novel mass spectrometry based analytical method for analyzing thyroid hormones (THs). Thyroid hormones play a critical role in the regulation of many biological processes such as growth, metabolism and development. Several analytical methods using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/

Interfacing Capillary/Nano LC with MALDI/MS for High-Throughput Proteomics [PDF]

Journal of the Association for Laboratory Automation, 2003
Besides higher efficiency and sensitivity, another advantage of capillary/nano LC is the volume compatibility with the μ-liter fraction requirements of MALDI targets. One of the challenges is the collection of nanoliter volumes without remixing the separated compounds and losing chromatographic separation.

Maskless Fabrication of Film-Patterned-Retarder (FPR) Using Wedged Liquid Crystal Cell

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2019
Film-patterned-retarder (FPR) is an optical film used in the stereoscopic 3D display and is fabricated using an expensive photomask and nano-wire grid polarizer. This method is expensive and the pitch of FPR is fixed for a given photomask.

Identification of serum protein biomarkers for pre‐cancerous lesions associated with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This work identified serum proteins associated with pancreatic epithelial neoplasms (PanINs) and early‐stage PDAC. Proteomics screens assessed genetically engineered mice with abundant PanINs, KPC mice (Lox‐STOP‐Lox‐KrasG12D/+ Lox‐STOP‐Lox‐Trp53R172H/+ Pdx1‐Cre) before PDAC development and also early‐stage PDAC patients (n = 31), compared to benign ...

A new strategy for faster urinary biomarkers identification by Nano-LC-MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry

BMC Genomics, 2008
Background LC-MALDI-TOF/TOF analysis is a potent tool in biomarkers discovery characterized by its high sensitivity and high throughput capacity. However, methods based on MALDI-TOF/TOF for biomarkers discovery still need optimization, in particular to ...

Nano-LC-MS/MS for Quantification of Lyso-Gb3 and Its Analogues Reveals a Useful Biomarker for Fabry Disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Biomarkers useful for diagnosis and evaluation of treatment for patients with Fabry disease are urgently needed. Recently, plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3) and lyso-Gb3-related analogues have attracted attention as promising biomarkers of Fabry

Optimization of label-free nano LC-MS/MS analysis of the placental proteome

Placenta, 2020
The placenta can be regarded as a mirror of the events to which the fetus is exposed during development. The placental proteome has been studied with several methodologies differing in sample handling, protein extraction, and processing. We optimized a protocol to analyze the placental proteome by means of label-free nano-LC-MS/MS mass spectrometry ...
