Identification of Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Properties of MangostinXanthones in Adipocyte Reporter Assays
… 2-related factor2 promoter (<i>Nrf2</i>-P)/YFP fluorescent reporters. We hypothesized that fluorescent signals directly correlated to inflammatory, adipogenic, and antioxidant status in adipocytes, respectively. Two polyphenolic xanthones, α-mangostin (α-MG) and γ-mangostin (γ-MG) from …

Linear clustering with application to single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping
… algorithm is that it applies to unnormalized fluorescent signals when the TaqMan SNP assay is used. The algorithm could also be potentially adapted to other fluorescence-based SNP genotyping technologies such as Invader Assay. Motivated by the SNP genotyping problem, we propose a partial …

Transformation of biomass carbohydrates by transition metal catalysts
… into the plant structures. By utilizing fluorescent tagging strategies a two part marking system was used to follow the incorporation of fucose into the plant cell wall. Fucose is limited in its use by plants only becoming incorporated into branched xylan chains that help to link …

Detection and interpretation of fluorescence signals generated by excitable cells and tissues
… voltage-dependent and Ca<em>i</em> 2+-dependent fluorescent dyes. However, achieving satisfactory signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) often requires increased illumination intensities and/or dye concentrations, which results in photo-toxicity, photo-bleaching and other adverse effects limiting the …

A Comparison of Fluorescent Microscopy Methods for the Detection of Chlamydia trachomatis
… confirmation kit. In the research setting, fluorescent microscopy techniques are widely used for quantification of C. trachomatis due to their high sensitivity. However, this study showed the Pathfinder C. trachomatis monoclonal antibody kit and Invitrogen's C. trachomatis MOMP Monoclonal …

Nano-structured platforms as a spectroscopic tool
… for the purpose of enhancing weak fluorescence signals. Each platform was constructed as a thin oxide layer on top of a metal (aluminum) The oxide was perforated with hexagonal array of nano-holes. The pitch of the array was much smaller than the optical wavelengths used. Surface charge waves …

Single-molecule optical trapping studies of the regulation mechanisms of XPD helicase
… activity with the number of XPD molecules using fluorescently labeled XPD. While single XPD molecules produced clear fluorescent signals, multimeric XPD fluorescence behaved unexpectedly, likely due to quenching by the Fe-S cluster, indicating that further investigation and optimization are …

Photothermal properties and applications of gold nanorods
… the dye molecules, which was detected using fluorescent signals from the dyes. The photo-induced release rate depended on the quantity and type of polyelectrolyte trapping layers and could be tuned by a factor of 100. Comparison of the photo-triggered molecular release rate to a pure thermal …

Investigating the integrity of the vasculature and structural relationships of pericytes, astrocytes and the endothelial glycocalyx in an ex vivo hyperglycaemic rat retinal model
… lycopersicon esculentum (Tomato) lectin. Fluorescent signals were detected using confocal microscopy imaging where Z-stack images were randomly sampled from the mid-peripheral retina. Images were analysed using Image J software. Additionally, western blotting was used to determine the …
