Fluorometric and Colorimetric Biosensors for the Assay of Cholinesterase Inhibitors

Sensors
Cholinesterases, specifically acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), play critical roles in neurotransmission and are key targets for inhibitors with therapeutic and toxicological significance.

3D Fractals as SERS Active Platforms: Preparation and Evaluation for Gas Phase Detection of G-Nerve Agents

Micromachines, 2018
One of the main limitations of the technique surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for chemical detection relies on the homogeneity, reproducibility and reusability of the substrates.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Postnatal development of the optic nerve in (C57BL x CBA)F1 hybrid mice:general changes in morphometric parameters [PDF]

, 1996
A morphometric analysis of the optic nerve in different age groups of (C57BL x CBA)F1 hybrid mice was carried out. Morphometric parameters examined were mean nerve cross-sectional area (csa), mean myelinated nerve fibre count, mean myelinated nerve fibre

Leucine‐rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) is a ganglioside‐binding protein

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neuronal hyperexcitability associated with a decrease/absence of the extracellular protein LGI1 has been suggested to be primarily due to the downregulation of Kv1 channel expression. The molecular mechanisms underlying this decrease have not yet been elucidated.
