de Groot, J. (author), Bank, R.A. (author), Tchetverikov, I. (author), Verzijl, N. (author), TeKoppele, J.M. (author), Gaubius Instituut (author)Osteoarthritis is a disabling joint disease that is characterized by the progressive destruction of articular cartilage. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms in combination with radiography, which is relatively insensitive and provides only an indication of accumulated damage. Alternative methods, such as molecular markers, are therefore...article 2002

Kerstholt, J.H. (author), Passenier, P.O. (author)Automation has changed the role of human operators from direct manual control to supervision. Their main task is to monitor whether system performance remains within pre-specified ranges and intervention is only required in unusual situations. One of the consequences is a loss of situation awareness, which significantly affects performance in...article 2000

(author), Instituut CIVO-Toxicologie en Voeding TNO (author)Development of drug resistance against alkylating cytostatic drugs has been associated with higher intracellular concentrations of glutathione (GSH) and increased expression of glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes. Therefore, enhanced detoxification by the glutathione/glutathione S-transferase pathway has been proposed as a major factor in...article 1995

van Hemmen, J.J. (author), Brouwer, D.H. (author), Centraal Instituut voor Voedingsonderzoek TNO (author)The methods for the dermal exposure assessment vary in their complexity and are in some sense complementary to each other. The most easy-to-use methods involve a pseudo-skin-approach, such as gloves and removal by washing. In some cases generic modelling appears to be possible. The experimental methods can indicate and even quantitate the...article 1995

(author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)The function of apolipoprotein (apo) C1 in vivo is not well understood. From in vitro studies it has been reported that an excess of apoC1 relative to apoE inhibits receptor-mediated uptake of remnant lipoproteins.
