NF-kB : a prognostic marker of prostate cancer
NF-kB predicts aggressiveness of prostate cancer to optimize therapy regimen.
MoA : Detection of NF-kB in the nucleus where an increase correlates with the development of metastases.
NF-kB antibodies are detected by immunohistochemistry on biopsy.
Applications : Screening to determine the prognostic of prostate cancer; improves the...

High Resolution Integrated Microfluidic Fabry-Perot Refractometer in Silicon
We proposed a low cost high resolution refractometer. All its components are fabricated simultaneously in one conventional microfabrication process. It can be integrated to microfluidic systems. The sensor system works as an index of refraction and permits detection in volume.

A new sacral neurostimulation strategy to enhance micturition in paraplegics
We are proposing a sacral neurostimulation strategy based on nerve conduction blockade using high frequency stimulation as an alternative to rhizotomy. This strategy increases selective bladder stimulation, decreases detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia and avoids resorting to rhizotomy.
