The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of how well your kidneys are removing waste from your blood, which can be determined using an estimated GFR (eGFR) test. The test gets its name from glomeruli -- the parts of your kidney that filter out waste. (Photo credit: Image Source...
Partial wave spectroscopy takes advantage of the field effect to allow for the sensitive and specific detection of cancers in tissues that are difficult to reach. Cancer is an extraordinarily complex disease. Methods that are commonly used in physics can reduce the complexity of cancer to a ...
Here, the doctor takes a piece of the tumor to test. They can do this in different ways, depending on the size and location of the growth. They might use a needle (this is called a needle biopsy). Sometimes they’ll pair it with a suction device. Or they might do a laparoscopic bi...
If the hapten-modified peptide is distinguished by a T-cell as a "foreign entity" TCR engagement and a downstream T-cell response with the secretion of a variety of soluble mediators is instigated (Fig. 1; left hand side). In contrast, the PI concept proposes that T-cells are activated ...
downstream T-cell response with the secretion of a variety of soluble mediators is instigated (Fig.1; left hand side). In contrast, the PI concept proposes that T-cells are activated when a drug(metabolite) binds directly (non-covalently) to MHC proteins or peptides already embedded in the...
The dilution factor (D.F.) is the ratio of the number of different samples that you can expect to get from a given sample size. If you take one of the five samples and multiply it by 3, you will get a sample size of 15.
post-translational methylation of specific histidine residues in actin and myosin with clinical relevance as a predictor of myofibrillar proteolysis [54], while 3-MH-to-creatinine (3-MH/Crea) and 3-MH-to-estimated glomerular filtration rate (3-MH/eGFR) can support the diagnos...
Indeed, in addition to tissue samples, complementary cytological and/or blood samples can also give access to these biomarkers. To date, it is recommended and necessary to look for the status of five genomic molecular biomarkers (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAFV600, NTRK) and of a protein biomarker ...
Although DNA is a highly stable molecule, its study has some limitations, mainly due to mutations in non-coding DNA and epigenetics [1]. In addition, in DNA-seq, the detection of gene fusion can be complicated by the presence of large intronic regions, which are often difficult to amplify...
