Dysregulation of extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) activity has been potentially implicated in the pathophysiology of autistic disorder (autism). ERK is part of a central intracellular signaling cascade responsible for a myriad of cellular functions. ERK is expressed in peripheral blood

Autoimmune and dysimmune inflammatory mechanisms on a genetically susceptible background are implicated in the etiology of Behçet's Disease (BD). Heat-shock protein-65 (HSP-65) derived from Streptococcus sanguinis was proposed as a triggering factor based on its homology with human HSP-60. However

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is immobilized in three easy steps on SiO(2) surfaces with the help of a polycationic second generation dendronized polymer (denpol) and the biotin-avidin system. This stepwise immobilization process is monitored and quantitatively analyzed with the transmission interferometric

Native cell-membrane-derived supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) are an emerging platform with broad applications ranging from fundamental research to next-generation biosensors. Central to the success of the platform is the proper accommodation of membrane proteins so that their dynamics and functions
