Module and individual domain deletions of NRPS to produce plipastatin derivat...
Abstract Background Plipastatin, an antifungal lipopeptide, is synthesized by a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) in Bacillus subtilis. However, little information is... -
Three-dimensional Dammann array
We demonstrate a scheme that can produce a three-dimensional (3D) focus spot array in a 3D lattice structure, called a 3D Dammann array, in focal region of an objective. This 3D... -
Thermal expansion feedback for wave-front shaping
Focusing inside scattering media is a challenging task with a variety of applications in biomedicine. State of the art methods mostly require invasive feedback inside or behind... -
Unfavourable risk factor control after coronary events in routine clinical pr...
Abstract Background Risk factor control after a coronary event in a recent European multi-centre study was inadequate. Patient selection from academic centres and low... -
