Inducing an immune response to HIV
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid cancer in childhood and the most common cancer in infancy, with an incidence of about six hundred and fifty cases per year in the U.S.,[1] a...
Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health proble...
Inducing neutralizing antibodies against HIV
Manipulation of droplets on a two-dimensional path was demonstrated later.[10][11] If the liquid is discretized and programmably manipulated, the approach is called "Digital Microfluidic Circuits"...
Molecules competing with ligand for binding protein
Monoclonal antibodies (mAb or moAb) are monospecific antibodies that are the same because they are made by identical immune cells that are all clones of a unique parent cell, in contrast to polyclo...
Low-coherence interferometry
Histone deacetylase 10 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HDAC10 gene.[1][2][3] Acetylation of histone core particles modulates chromatin structure and gene expression. The opposing e...
microRNAs in host-parasite interactions
Methylation of CpG sites within the promoters of genes can lead to their silencing, a feature found in a number of human cancers (for example the silencing of tumor suppressor genes). In contrast, ...

Inducing neutralizing HIV primary isolates
Human embryonic stem cells may be grown in cell culture and stimulated to form insulin-producing cells that can be transplanted into the patient. However, clinical success is highly dependent on...
Cancer Listeni/ˈkænsər/, also known as a malignant tumor, is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.[1][2] Not all tumo...
While sour taste has historically been regarded as the domain of ion channels, receptors for sour taste are now being proposed. HCN1 and HCN4 (HCN channels) were two such proposals; both of these r...
In the field of molecular biology, gene expression profiling is the measurement of the activity (the expression) of thousands of genes at once, to create a global picture of cellular function. Thes...
Droplet-based surface modification/washing
Olfactory receptors expressed in the cell membranes of olfactory receptor neurons are responsible for the detection of odor molecules. Activated olfactory receptors are the initial player in a sign...
