The enhancement of PCR with real-time quantitative methods takes PCR from a workhorse laboratory preparatory method for molecular biology to an extremely powerful diagnostic and analysis tool for ...

Performance and side effect evaluation of sequentially reduced radiotherapy doses in a phase II trial of induction chemotherapy (IndCT) followed by concomitant chemoradiotherapy (CTX) for advanced ...

PCR involves three core components: polymerase, primer, and template. Primers anneal to templates and create initiation sites for the polymerase. The polymerase then recruits free deoxynucleoside ...

In vitro diagnostics (IVD) is an umbrella term for tests conducted on blood or tissue samples to detect diseases, determine the efficacy of novel or established treatments, and monitor health.

With the global overuse of antibiotics, the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and "superbugs" has become a major threat to human health and food safety. Among these, drug-resistant ...

Researchers have built an RT-PCR platform that gives results in 23 minutes that match the longer laboratory-based tests -- faster than other PCR tests on the market. It can be adapted to test for a ...

A randomized trial of chemoradiation using mitomycin or cisplatin, with or without maintenance cisplatin/5FU in squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (ACT II) This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the ...

Digital PCR (dPCR) is a specialized approach to nucleic acid detection and quantification that is not reliant on standard curves. Instead, the quantity or numbers of molecules present in a reaction is ...

This decision, well within current norms for care, was nonetheless consequential: The president was forced to cancel a trip to advocate for legislation in support of the domestic semiconductor ...
