Echicetin coated polystyrene beads: a novel tool to investigate GPIb-specific platelet activation and aggregation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 von Willebrand factor/ristocetin (vWF/R) induces GPIb-dependent platelet agglutination and activation of αIIbβ3 integrin, which also binds vWF. These conditions make it difficult to investigate GPIb-specific signaling pathways in washed platelets.

Viscoelastic characteristics of pentane-swollen polystyrene beads [PDF]
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1999 Expansion of pentane-swollen polystyrene beads was followed at and above the glass transition by using a very simple optical technique. Measurements allowed a suitable determination of the glass transition temperature and of the viscoelastic characteristics of the pentane-plasticized polystyrene chains inside the beads, at different pentane contents ...

Optical probing of local membrane potential with fluorescent polystyrene beads. [PDF]
Biophys Rep (N Y), 2021 Abstract Studying the electrical activity in single cells and in local circuits of excitable cells, like neurons, requires an easy to use and high throughput methodology that enables the measurement of membrane potential. Studying the electrical properties in particular sub-compartments of neurons, or in a specific type of neurons ...
