1. INTRODUCTION The design of organically modified surfaces is a rapidly expanding field
of research in materials science in which the central purpose is access to materials …

Microarray technology has become a crucial tool for large-scale and high-throughput
biology. It allows fast, easy and parallel detection of thousands of addressable elements in a …

Local radiation of tumor masses is an established modality for the therapy of a range of
human tumors. It has recently been recognized that doses of radiation, lower than or equal …

The system-wide study of proteins presents an exciting challenge in this information-rich age
of whole-genome biology. Although traditional investigations have yielded abundant …

ContextMolecular profiling of prostate cancer has led to the identification of candidate
biomarkers and regulatory genes. Discoveries from these genome-scale approaches may …

The long-term challenge of proteomics is enormous: to define the identities, quantities,
structures and functions of complete complements of proteins, and to characterize how these …

The ultimate goal of proteomics is to characterize the information flow through protein
networks. This information can be a cause, or a consequence, of disease processes. Clinical …

Protein chips have emerged as a promising approach for a wide variety of applications
including the identification of protein–protein interactions, protein–phospholipid interactions …

Protein microarrays, one emerging class of proteomic technologies, have broad applications
for discovery and quantitative analysis. A rapidly expanding use of this technology is the …

Protein microarrays are potentially powerful tools in biochemistry and molecular biology.
Two types of protein microarrays are defined. One, termed a protein function array, will …
