Overexpression of the selenoprotein thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) has been documented in malignant tissues and is of pathological significance for many types of tumors. The antibiotic puromycin (Puro) is a protein synthesis inhibitor causing premature polypeptide chain termination during translation. The well-defined action mechanism of Puro makes it a useful tool in biomedical studies.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA fiber-optic sensor for simultaneous measurement of refractive index (RI) and temperature was proposed and demonstrated. It was fabricated by cascading two sections of specialty double cladding (DC) fibers which presented a pair of well-separated resonant spectra dips. The sensing properties of temperature and ambient RI were investigated theoretically based on the coupled mode theory.
