Many proteins exert their biological activities through small exposed surface regions called
epitopes that are folded peptides of well‐defined three‐dimensional structures. Short …

Peptides and proteins are not orally bioavailable in mammals, although a few peptides are
intestinally absorbed in small amounts. Polypeptides are generally too large and polar to …

This paper critically reviews the strategic decision‐making process literature, with a specific
focus on the effects of context. Context refers to the top management team, strategic decision …

Several techniques are under development to diagnose oesophageal adenocarcinoma at
an earlier stage. We have demonstrated the potential of Raman spectroscopy, an optical …

The histologic examination of endoscopic biopsies or resection specimens remains a key
step in the work-up of affected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and can be used …

The use of near‐infrared Raman spectroscopy to interrogate epithelial tissue biochemistry
and hence distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues was investigated. Six different …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA) is increasingly common among
patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE). We aimed to provide consensus recommendations …

Posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression by microRNAs (miRNAs) has been
implicated in the regulation of chronic physiological and pathological responses. In this …

Gastric adenocarcinoma carries a poor prognosis, in part due to the late stage of diagnosis.
Risk factors include Helicobacter pylori infection, family history of gastric cancer—in …

Background Improved markers of prognosis are needed to stratify patients with early-stage
colorectal cancer to refine selection of adjuvant therapy. The aim of the present study was to …
