Biosensing with surface plasmon resonance--how it all started.

A subjective description is given of how the development of surface plasmon resonance for immunosensing began. The main differences between the initial experiments and a commercially available instrumentation are pointed out. For the practical use of surface oriented methods for biosensing it is noted that the arrangements around the optical system itself, such as the sensing chip or sample cel...

Rheumatoid Arthritis, Kartagener's Syndrome, and Hyperprolactinemia: Who Started It?

We report a case of an 18-year-old girl who presented to our hospital with history of recurrent respiratory infections, amenorrhea, and symmetric polyarthritis. She was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Kartagener's syndrome (KS), and hyperprolactinemia. There have been very few case reports in the literature of RA occurring in the setting of KS, theoretically proposed to be due to chro...

How it all started: tau and protein phosphatase 2A.

This review is dedicated to Inge Grundke-Iqbal who laid the foundations of the tau field, by isolating tau from the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain, discovering that tau is hyperphosphorylated, and proving a critical role of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and its endogenous inhibitor I2PP2A in this process. This memorial starts with a few personal notes, and then covers how subcellular fractionat...
