Metamaterials are artificial materials engineered to have properties that may not be found in nature. They are assemblies of multiple individual elements fashioned from conventional microscopic mat...
Droplet actuators
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...
Receiving/generating patient attenuation information
Regulatory B cells (Bregs) represent a small population of B cells which participates in immunomodulations and in suppression of immune responses. These cells regulate the immune system by differen...
Droplet-based pyrosequencing
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CAMKK2 gene. The product of this gene belongs to the serine/threonine-specific protein kinase fam...

Proliferative disease
Glycogen storage disease type II (also called Pompe disease /ˈpɒmpə/ or acid maltase deficiency) is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder[1] which damages muscle and nerve cells throughout the ...
Power switching circuits
Acid ceramidase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ASAH1 gene.[1][2][3] This gene encodes a heterodimeric protein consisting of a nonglycosylated alpha subunit and a glycosylated beta...
Hair growth inhibition
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that causes the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS),[1][2] a condition in humans in which progressive failure...
Meganucleases are endodeoxyribonucleases characterized by a large recognition site (double-stranded DNA sequences of 12 to 40 base pairs); as a result this site generally occurs only once in any gi...
HDAC10 inhibitors
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs; /ˌlaɪsəˈsoʊməl/) are a group of approximately 50 rare inherited metabolic disorders that result from defects in lysosomal function.[1] Lysosomes are sacs of enzyme...
Aptamers (from the Latin aptus - fit, and Greek meros - part) are oligonucleic acid or peptide molecules that bind to a specific target molecule. Aptamers are usually created by selecting them from...
One of the obstacles to treatment of the human immunodeficiency virus is its high genetic variability.[1] HIV can be divided into two major types, HIV type 1 (HIV-1) and HIV type 2 (HIV-2). HIV-1 i...
Hair loss[1] or baldness (technically known as alopecia[2]) is a loss of hair from the head or body. Baldness can refer to general hair loss or androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). Some typ...
