Tau proteins (or τ proteins, after the Greek letter by that name) are proteins that stabilize microtubules. They are abundant in neurons of the central nervous system and are less common elsewhere,...
Vasomotor refers to actions upon a blood vessel which alter its diameter.[1][2] More specifically, it can refer to vasodilator action and vasoconstrictor action. Currently, new research has been...
Selecting surgical approaches
In biotechnology, flow cytometry is a laser-based, biophysical technology employed in cell counting, cell sorting, biomarker detection and protein engineering, by suspending cells in a stream of fl...
Guided cell patterning
Transgenic plants have genes inserted into them that are derived from another species. The inserted genes can come from species within the same kingdom (plant to plant) or between kingdoms (for exa...
Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI)[1] is a method which enables analysis of blood vessels generated by a tumor. This method makes use of a contrast agent which is blocked by the regular brain-...
Various vaccine candidates have been developed, the first ones in the 1920s, but none have been successful to date.[1] Due to the genetic similarity of both herpes simplex virus types (HSV-1 and...
Imaging using metamaterials
Information extraction (IE) is the task of automatically extracting structured information from unstructured and/or semi-structured machine-readable documents. In most of the cases this activity co...
Magnetization of nuclear spins
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the wireless use of electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. The tags c...
Gene targeting (also, replacement strategy based on homologous recombination) is a genetic technique that uses homologous recombination to change an endogenous gene. The method can be used to delet...
Ultrasound assessment of chronic pain disorders
Nanopore sequencing is a method under development since 1995 [1][2] for determining the order in which nucleotides occur on a strand of DNA. A nanopore is simply a small hole, of the order of 1 ...
