Tissue Specific Electrochemical Fingerprinting

Tissue Specific Electrochemical Fingerprinting

BACKGROUND Proteomics and metalloproteomics are rapidly developing interdisciplinary fields providing enormous amounts of data to be classified, evaluated and interpreted. Approaches offered by bioinformatics and also by biostatistical data analysis and treatment are therefore of extreme interest. Numerous methods are now available as commercial or open source tools for data processing and mode...

Tissue Specific Expression of Human Calcitonin Gene in Potato Tubers by an Organ Specific Promoter

To increase the production level of heterologous proteins in plants, strategies such as choice of strongerpromoters, optimization of codon usage and specific localization of foreign proteins are of major concern.Calcitonin (CT), a 32 amino acid polypeptide is a powerful and specific inhibitor of bone resorption and isused to treat several human diseases. Calcitonin activity is...

Electrochemical control of cell and tissue polarity.

Localized ion fluxes at the plasma membrane provide electrochemical gradients at the cell surface that contribute to cell polarization, migration, and division. Ion transporters, local pH gradients, membrane potential, and organization are emerging as important factors in cell polarization mechanisms. The power of electrochemical effects is illustrated by the ability of exogenous electric field...

Validation of Tissue Characterization in Mixed Voxels Using MR Fingerprinting

AUDIENCE: Scientists interested in quantitative imaging, parameter mapping, and estimating/resolving partial volume effects. PURPOSE: A common problem in all types of imaging is the so-called partial volume effect that results from voxels with mixed content. Several investigators have previously used multi-exponential fitting to derive separate components of a voxel [1-3]. However, these method...
