Microdevice-integrated immunoassays for Point-of-Care Therapeutic Drug Monitoring

Elena-Diana Bojescu

A significant number of drugs exhibit narrow therapeutic windows and high inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability. In such cases, Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is compulsory in order to optimize the efficacy of the drug while avoiding adverse effe ...

Detection of environmental glucocorticoids and investigation of their effects using the zebrafish embryo as a model

Anita Orsolya Hidasi

Synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used anti-inflammatory drugs. They mimic cortisol, the natural stress hormone in humans and in fish. Cortisol binds and activates the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), which regulates genes governing development, immu ...

Neurobehavioural activation during peripheral immunosuppression

Raphaël Doenlen

Like other physiological responses, immune functions are the subject of behavioural conditioning. Conditioned immunosuppression can be induced by contingently pairing a novel taste with an injection of the immunosuppressant cyclosporine A (CsA) in an assoc ...
