Prevalence and determinants of diabetes among older adults in Ghana
(Biomed Central, 2016-11-21)
Background: Diabetes is one of the leading non-communicable diseases in Africa, contributing to the increasing disease burden among the old adults. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and determinants ...
Mutations in LRRK2 impair NF-κB pathway in iPSC-derived neurons
(Biomed Central, 2016-11-18)
Background: Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) contribute to both familial and idiopathic forms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Neuroinflammation is a key event in neurodegeneration and aging, and there is ...
High Expression of Endogenous Retroviral Envelope Gene in the Equine Fetal Part of the Placenta
(Public Library Science, 2016-05-13)
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are proviral phases of exogenous retroviruses that have co-evolved with vertebrate genomes for millions of years. Previous studies have identified the envelope (env) protein genes of retroviral ...

Sensing parasites: proteomic and advanced bio-detection alternatives
(Elsevier, 2016-03-16)
[EN] Parasitic diseases have a great impact in human and animal health. The gold standard for the diagnosis of the majority of parasitic infections is still conventional microscopy, which presents important limitations in ...
Adaptive coatings based on polyaniline for direct 2D observation of diffusion processes in microfluidic systems
(Elsevier, 2016-08)
[EN] Therefore the understanding and proper evaluation of the flow and mixing behaviour at microscale becomes a very important issue. In this study, the diffusion behaviour of two reacting solutions of HCI and NaOH were ...
Microcantilever arrays functionalised with spiropyran photoactive moieties as systems to measure photo-induced surface stress changes
(Elsevier, 2016-12)
[EN] Herein we investigate the feasibility of detecting photo-induced surface stress changes using the deflection response of cantilevers. For this purpose, silicon microcantilevers have been functionalised with spiropyran ...
