Using Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) with Photoactivated Localization Microscopy (PALM) to Analyze Hox/Cofactor Interactions at the Super Resolution Scale in Drosophila Salivary Glands.

Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) is a powerful molecular imaging method used to visualize protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in living cells or organisms. BiFC is based on the reassociation of hemi-fragments of a monomeric fluorescent protein upon spatial proximity. It is compatible with conventional light microscopy, providing a resolution that is constrained by the diffraction of light to around 250 nm.

Surface conversion of the dynamics of bacteria escaping chemorepellents.

Flagellar swimming hydrodynamics confers a recognized advantage for attachment on solid surfaces. Whether this motility further enables the following environmental cues was experimentally explored. Motile E.

Bioequivalence of Intravenous Alteplase from Two Different Manufacturing Processes in Healthy Male Volunteers: Results from a Two-Stage, Adaptive-Design Study.

Objective: Alteplase is a recombinant tissue plasminogen activator used for thrombolytic treatment in several indications and is currently approved in Europe under the brand name Actilyse. The current manufacturing process for alteplase was recently modified to meet increasing global demands. The aim of this randomized, open-label, adaptive two-stage design, two-way crossover study was to establish bioequivalence of alteplase derived from the two manufacturing processes (modified versus current).

Electrochemical Properties of Silver Nanoparticles in Mesoporous Silica and Titania Films: Specific Behavior of Titania Composite.

Electrochemical behavior of silver nanoparticles in mesoporous oxides electrodes is investigated. Mesoporous SiO and TiO films deposited on FTO (fluorine-doped tin oxide) and containing Ag nanoparticles (NPs) are used as electrodes. The study of voltammetric curves (CVs) and the diffusion of Ag ions out of the films highlight the importance of the retention of Ag ions by the TiO films.

A caveolin-1 dependent glucose-6-phosphatase trafficking contributes to hepatic glucose production.

Objective: Deregulation of hepatic glucose production is a key driver in the pathogenesis of diabetes, but its short-term regulation is incompletely deciphered. According to textbooks, glucose is produced in the endoplasmic reticulum by glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) and then exported in the blood by the glucose transporter GLUT2. However, in the absence of GLUT2, glucose can be produced by a cholesterol-dependent vesicular pathway, which remains to be deciphered.
