Change of Objectively-Measured Physical Activity during Geriatric Rehabilitation.

This prospective study investigated feasibility and sensitivity of sensor-based physical activity (PA) measures to monitor changes in PA during geriatric rehabilitation and its relation to clinical parameters at admission. PA was routinely measured at day 2 and day 15 after admission in 647 patients (70.2% women, mean age = 82.

Engineered UV-A light-responsive gene expression system for measuring sun cream efficacy in mammalian cell culture.

Light-dependent gene regulation systems are advantageous as they allow for precise spatio-temporal control of target gene expression. In this paper, we present a novel UV-A and blue-light-inducible gene control system that is based on the light-dependent heterodimerization of the CRY2 and C1BN domains. Upon their interaction, a transcription factor is released from the cell membrane and initiates target gene expression.
