Background and aim: Rapid and complex diagnosis of viral, bacterial and parasitic infections is highly desirable not only in clinical practice, but also in food safety or early warning syste...
Affinity purification, immunoprecipitation, and mass spectrometry analysis are essential tools used in proteomic studies. A successful outcome is facilitated by high-capacity supports, effici...
Stable cell lines are critical tools of cellular assays in drug discovery and development. Over-expressing cell lines are needed to screen for hits, while functional cell lines are needed fo...
In examining the potential adoption of the Oncomine Precision Assay, University of Texas Health had several criteria to consider, including the need for highly accurate detection of small sa...
To date, the therapeutic use of cannabinoids in chronic pain management remains controversial owing to the limited clinical evidence found in randomized clinical trials (RCTs), the heterogen...
Diagnosis, prognostication, and monitoring of child health relies on laboratory testing, including but not limited to key markers of thyroid, hepatic, cardiac, hematology, and renal function...
Are you working for your data or are your data working for you? Over the last decade or so, labs have made the move from paper lab notebooks to digital laboratory platforms (DLPs). This is a...
Direct recording of neural activity from the human brain (intracranial encephalography, iEEG, also known as electrocorticography, ECoG) using implanted electrodes is one of the fastest-growin...
One would think that getting the diagnosis after fifteen years would end the journey. How does your work at the bench affect patients and how can you change lives through cell therapy? ...
Learn how to optimize CRISPR-Cas9 editing efficiencies in cell lines and primary cell types using modified synthetic sgRNA. Includes tips for achieving maximum knockout and knock-in efficienc...
The contemporary understanding of psychiatric disorders typically consists of a vast but often poorly interrelated set of facts and hypotheses that fail to coalesce into an integrated whole....
This lecture will encompass the learning experience I have had over my 14,000 RALP cases. We will present an evidence based prospective data collection and analysis of RALP outcomes. We will...
Tissues in the body are wonderfully organized, with specific arrangements of cells, extracellular matrix, secreted molecules, and fluid flow that synergize that create emergent functions. How...
Much has been made in the popular press about importance of our "genes" in everything from our weight, intelligence, and our risk of disease. While there is a scientific basis...
Sanger sequencing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods have been the standard molecular methods in clinical diagnostics for decades. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology r...
