Planar waveguide (PWG) technology (right) has the advantage over conventional epifluorescence excitation (left) for surface-confined assays in that only surface-bound fluorphores respond to the ...

Processes Involved in Using DNA Microarray Instrumentation in Protein Microarray Workflow Protein microarrays offer the ability to measure protein expression and antibody binding in a high-throughput ...

Protein microarrays are one aspect of highly automated, large-scale biological screening technologies, the other is nucleic acid arrays. As DNA arrays reveal their origin in Southern blotting ...

Protein detection and quantification are daily occurrences both in research and diagnostic laboratories. Also, follow-ups of therapeutic treatments and prognoses have grown to rely more and more on ...

A new method for attaching antibodies to a substrate offers a simple and reliable means of constructing protein microarrays. DNA arrays are powerful tools for the analysis of gene expression because ...

The sequencing phase of the human genome project is now near completion, but then what? An even harder challenge remains — to identify the structures and functions of all proteins encoded in the ...

A new research technology is revealing how humans develop immunity to malaria, and could assist programs aimed at eradicating this parasitic disease. Dr Alyssa Barry from the Walter and Eliza Hall ...

Wildlife biologist Marissa Irwin had no idea that cells in her body had gone haywire. In response to scrambled protein signaling pathways, certain cells turned cancerous and grew into tumors that took ...

Pancreatic cancer is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States with approximately 28,000 deaths/year. Notwithstanding all the efforts, it is still one of the most difficult cancers to ...
