Diagnosing active tuberculosis based merely on signs and symptoms is difficult,[55] as is diagnosing the disease in those who are immunosuppressed.[56] A diagnosis of TB should, however, be conside...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), sometimes called photochemotherapy, is a form of phototherapy using nontoxic light-sensitive compounds that are exposed selectively to light, whereupon they become toxic...
Alzheimer's disease (AD), also known in medical literature as Alzheimer disease, is the most common form of dementia. There is no cure for the disease, which worsens as it progresses, and eventuall...
The Diels–Alder reaction is an organic chemical reaction (specifically, a [4+2] cycloaddition) between a conjugated diene and a substituted alkene, commonly termed the dienophile, to form a substit...
Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), also known as the glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide is a member of the secretin family of hormones.[1] GIP, along with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1...
Extractive metallurgy is the practice of removing valuable metals from an ore and refining the extracted raw metals into a purer form. In order to convert a metal oxide or sulfide to a purer metal,...
Intron-mediated recombination
Most attempts at mutating streptavidin result in a lowered biotin-binding affinity, which is to be expected in such a highly optimised system. However, a recently engineered mutant of streptavidin,...
An antiplatelet drug (antiaggregant) is a member of a class of pharmaceuticals that decrease platelet aggregation [1] and inhibit thrombus formation. They are effective in the arterial circulation,...
Identification of expressed genes
Silicon surface coating with biomolecules
Introduction of tumor suppressor genes into rapidly dividing cells has been thought to slow down or arrest tumor growth. Adenoviruses are a commonly utilized vector for this purpose. Much research ...
Determining bacteria/fungi species
Transcriptional regulation is the change in gene expression levels by altering transcription rates.
Inference sequencing by hybridization
Antibacterial/antifungal peptides
Red blood cells (RBCs), also called erythrocytes, are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate organism's principal means of delivering oxygen (O2) to the body tissues--via blood flow ...
