Individual colloidal quantum dots are manipulated in a microfluidic device and used as near-field optical probes for visualizing the plasmonic mode of a silver nanowire.
Due to an imbalance in the MMP:TIMP ratio determined a tissue damage in arthritis, it is hypothesized that polymorphic variations of the TIMP genes are associated with regulation of the MMP:TIMP balance. To test this hypothesis, the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in the human TIMP-2 and TIMP-4 genes was confirmed in the Korean RA and OA patients. We performed a case-control...
