Lab on chip for membrane proteins
A novel lab-on-chip device has been developed to screen sensitive membrane proteins in parallel, utilizing a nano-fabricated chip with 50,000 nanopores. This technology preserves protein structure without organic solvents or solid support, enabling simultaneous analysis and preserving fragile protein function.
A novel and simple formula to predict treatment success in chronic hepatitis C
A novel and simple formula predicts treatment success for patients with chronic hepatitis C, outperforming viral kinetics. The formula, based on clinical data, is suitable for every cohort of patients and can help tailor treatment.
Kinetic variable most useful for identifying malignant MRI-detected breast lesions identified
Researchers found that the 'washout' curve type is most predictive of malignancy, with 45.7% of lesions with this pattern being malignant compared to 20% with a plateau and 13.3% with persistent enhancement. The study suggests that kinetic features in breast MRI assessment can help determine whether a lesion needs biopsying.
An effective method to study the pressure of the Sphincter of Oddi
Researchers found that H2-receptor blocking pharmacon and protease inhibitors decreased Sphincter of Oddi basal pressure. The study used choledochoscope manometry to assess the effects of various drugs on SO motility, providing insights for clinical practice.
