TL;DR: By including an elongated dipolar dye (p,p'-dimethylaminonitrostilbene, DANS, a prototypical asymmetric dye with a strong NLO response) inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), an ideal head-to-tail alignment in which all electric dipoles point in the same sense is naturally created.

TL;DR: Although increases in plasma ddcfDNA% are associated with graft injury, plasma ddCFDNA does not outperform the diagnostic capacity of the serum creatinine in the diagnosis of acute rejection.

TL;DR: A classification approach based on random forest classifiers to predict recognition of a peptide by a T cell receptor and discover patterns that contribute to recognition is developed and serves as a proof of concept for the prediction of immunogenic T cell epitopes and paves the way for more general and high-performing models.

TL;DR: Investigating the kinetics of this biomarker after transplantation and determining biological variables that influence ddcfDNA kinetics in stable and non-stable patients found it necessary to quantify ddcf DNA levels in plasma of kidney transplant recipients to investigate the role of ddCFDNA for rejection monitoring of the graft.

TL;DR: This completely revised framework to automatically analyze 1D NMR spectra uses wavelets to efficiently summarize the raw spectra with minimal information loss or user interaction and is distributed through the existing speaq R package to provide a complete solution for NMR data processing.
