20S constitutive proteasome, 20S immunoproteasome, and cathepsin S are high-sensitivity and independent markers of immunological activity in relapsing-remitting type of multiple sclerosis.

Research on the markers of autoimmune response in multiple sclerosis (MS) is still of great importance. The aim of our study was the evaluation of plasma 20S constitutive proteasome, 20S immunoproteasome, and cathepsin S concentrations as potential biomarkers of a relapsing-remitting type of MS (RRMS). Surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) biosensors were used for the evaluation of protein concentrations.

New Biosensor for Determination of Neuropilin-1 with Detection by Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging.

Neuropilin-1 is transmembrane protein with soluble isoforms. It plays a pivotal role in both physiological and pathological processes. NRP-1 is involved in the immune response, formation of neuronal circuits, angiogenesis, survival and migration of cells.

UCHL1, besides leptin and fibronectin, also could be a sensitive marker of the relapsing-remitting type of multiple sclerosis.

Research on the markers of immunoregulatory response in multiple sclerosis (MS) is still of great importance. The aim of our study was the evaluation of leptin, fibronectin, and UCHL1 concentrations as potential biomarkers of a relapsing-remitting type of MS (RRMS). Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging (SPRI) biosensors were used for the evaluation of proteins concentrations in 100 RRMS patients and 46 healthy volunteers.

General Synthesis of Unsymmetrical 3,3'-(Aza)diindolylmethane Derivatives.

Diindolylmethane (DIM) and its derivatives have recently been in the focus of interest due to their significant biological activities, specifically in cancer prevention and therapy. Molecular targets of DIM have been identified, e.g.
