TL;DR: This work describes a system obtained by adapting a commercial ink-jet printer and used to produce mono- and bidimensional arrays of spots containing horseradish peroxidase on cellulose paper, which revealed that the reproducibility of the enzyme deposition was satisfactory for analytical purposes.

TL;DR: A luminescent microbial biosensor represents an easy, rapid, and sensitive tool to analyse Hg2+ in biological and environmental samples and could help better clarify the relationship between dental amalgam and urinary mercury excretion by permitting large-scale analysis of many selected groups of subjects.

TL;DR: The chemiluminescent system in conjunction with optical microscopy allowed localization of acetylcholinesterase in brain tissue sections and an in situ hybridization assay for the detection of herpes simplex virus DNA in single cells is described.

TL;DR: The micelle interaction with reactive oxygen species could be a physiological mechanism of defence against the toxicity of those species in the intestinal content and alterations in bile acid organ distribution, concentration and composition leads to a membrane damage caused by their detergent-like properties.

TL;DR: The better protective effect of ursodeoxycholic acid and its amidates with respect to cholic Acid and its taurine conjugated form seems to be related to their different lipophilicity and micellar forming capacity.
