Tau protein reduction, axonal transport and Alzheimer's disease by Mark Pool, MD Posted Wed 22 Sep 2010 12:07pm to amyloid-beta and its role in plaque formation as well as therapeutic strategies to modify amyloid protein in the treatment of AD. The authors in this study developed a model to study the role of tau protein and its role in axonal transport and interaction with amyloid-beta protein. They found that amyloid-beta requires participation of tau to impair Read on »

Biosensor discovery of thyroxine transport disrupting chemicals by Cheryl Patient Expert

Posted Wed 01 Jul 2009 5:02pm screening of chemicals with thyroxine (T4) transport disrupting activity. Two inhibition assays using the main thyroid hormone transport proteins, T4 binding globulin (TBG) and transthyretin (TTR), in combination with a T4-coated biosensor chip were optimized and automated for screening chemical libraries. The transport protein-based biosensor assays were Read on »
