  • Publication number: 20170017820
    Abstract: A computing system may receive an encoded representation of a biological sample. The encoded representation may contain an embedded barcode, and the computing system may include locked features. Possibly based on the embedded barcode, the computing system may automatically select a data processing pipeline for the encoded representation. Also possibly based on the embedded barcode, the computing system may unlock one or more of the locked features. The computing system may process the encoded representation in the selected data processing pipeline and according to the one or more unlocked features.

  • Publication number: 20070232542
    Abstract: A novel intracellular signalling activity of coagulation factor VII (FVII) in cells expressing tissue factor (TF) is described. The present invention relates to use of FVIIa or another TF agonist, or FVIIai or another TF antagonist for the preparation of a medicament for modulation of FVIIa-induced activation of the MAPK signalling pathway in a patient. Moreover the present invention relates to a method of treatment, and a method of detecting the activity of compounds, in particular drug candidates, that interact with the FVIIa mediated intracellular signalling pathway.
