  1. The immunotoxicity of engine exhausts is of high concern to human health due to the increasing prevalence of immune-related diseases. However, the evaluation of immunotoxicity of engine exhausts is currently b...

    Authors: Chia-Chi Wang, Ying-Chi Lin, Yuan-Chung Lin, Syu-Ruei Jhang and Chun-Wei Tung
    Citation: BioMedical Engineering OnLine 2017 16(Suppl 1):66
  2. Gene expression analyses demand appropriate reference genes (RGs) for normalization, in order to obtain reliable assessments. Ideally, RG expression levels should remain constant in all cells, tissues or exper...

    Authors: Rosario Carmona, Macarena Arroyo, María José Jiménez-Quesada, Pedro Seoane, Adoración Zafra, Rafael Larrosa, Juan de Dios Alché and M. Gonzalo Claros
    Citation: BioMedical Engineering OnLine 2017 16(Suppl 1):65
  3. Nowadays, sleep quality is one of the most important measures of healthy life, especially considering the huge number of sleep-related disorders. Identifying sleep stages using polysomnographic (PSG) signals i...

    Citation: BioMedical Engineering OnLine 2017 16(Suppl 1):71
  8. The characterization of protein–peptide interactions is a challenge for computational molecular docking. Protein–peptide docking tools face at least two major difficulties: (1) efficient sampling of large-scal...
