Uncertainty in biomonitoring and kinetic modeling.

abstract：:We review the effects of two transcription factor decoy oligonucleotides on apoptosis of human osteoclasts (OCs). The first decoy molecule was designed to inhibit nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kappaB) binding to target sequence, the second to increase estrogen receptor (ER) alpha expression. We found that both decoy mole...
