A secondary but important consequence of these developments was the adoption of on-board diagnostics regulations aimed at insuring that emission control systems would operate as intended for a prescribed period of time (or vehicle mileage).
Potential applications of miRNA inhibitors (antimiR) range from diagnostics to regulation of important proteins involved in numerous cancers [ 6].

The working group also collected the administered doses in common nuclear medicine examinations from guidelines of several learned societies (SFMN, EANM) and from French regulations (diagnostic reference levels, marketing authorization).
The scientists, who had not known each other previously, were assigned to teams according to their interests and spent the days preceding the LOT Summit working remotely to devise a practical and useful innovation in a specific field: big data, diagnostics, health IT, regulation and policy, or therapeutics, to name a few.
