Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction

/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- RNAConnect, a pioneering life science reagent company, today announced the launch of the UltraMarathonRT® Two-Step RT-PCR Kit, a...

The milk is still considered safe, but disease experts are alarmed by the prevalence.

No advantage for MRD-negative patients in first remission after induction, regardless of FLT3 ITD

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) was directly responsible for over 1 million fatalities in 2019, and the death toll keeps rising. It occurs when bacteria become resilient to antibiotics, ...

Conventional crop breeding is not time-efficient for creating inbred lines with desired genetic traits owing to the diploid nature of plants, wherein they have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. In contrast, double haploid technology utilizes gene-edited haploid inducer plants to create double haploid crops that have two sets of chromosomes from a single parent. This revolutionary agricultural method…

Southern Hemisphere data show 52% protection for flu-related hospitalization

Outbreak in late 2022 affected almost exclusively unvaccinated children

The new tool aims to identify he "missing millions" of undiagnosed cases worldwide.

Based on a 3-year, real-world study of patients with metastatic NSCLC, plasma cfRNA PD-L1 expression was as effective as tissue PD-L1 expression for informing ICI treatment benefit, and could identify additional patients who would otherwise be missed by tissue PD-L1 protein testing alone.

The growth of this market is due to factors such as the rising infectious diseases and genetic disorders, continuous advancements in PCR technologies, and...

Two proteins come together to protect and stabilize RNA as it carries muscle-forming code through the cell. Further understanding this RNA-stabilizing complex may have implications for influencing muscle recovery and disease treatment.

Bones remain healthy thanks to the fact that they are continuously remodeling, a process dependent on the balance between the activity of osteoblasts—cells that create bone tissue—and the osteoclasts, which reabsorb it. An imbalance between these two can disrupt bone homeostasis and lead to diseases such as osteopenia, which is a loss of bone mass.

People with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) have abnormally low levels of specific health-promoting gut bacterial species than those without the disorders.

Upcoming free, educational webinars from Xtalks will feature topics on clinical trials, commercialization & HEOR, drug discovery & development, healthcare, food, fundamental research, laboratory technology, medical device, pharma manufacturing and supply chain, pharmaceutical, pharmaceutical regulation, pharmacovigilance and preclinical.

A SARS-CoV-2-human protein contactome map uncovers an inhibitor of viral replication.

A post published in English and Spanish repeats the debunked idea that the current monkeypox outbreak might have resulted from a virus that was created in a lab. The post also baselessly alleges that the World Health Organization's decision to declare the outbreak a public health emergency was due to financial incentives.

Quantitative polymerase chain reaction allows the real-time detection of nucleic acids in human samples, representing a gold standard for infection detection, but it cannot be easily converted into a point-of-care approach. Here a strategy is proposed to leverage plasmonic polymerase chain reaction to achieve multiplexed, fluorescence detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA from human saliva and nasal specimen, showing promise…

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 broad range of infectious diseases including not just COVID-19 but also flu, strep, and other viruses that require fast diagnosis.

A group of dogs belonging to French fire departments (Service départemental d'Incendie et de Secours—SDIS of Yvelines and Oise) and to the Ministry of the Interior of the United Arab Emirates was trained to detect COVID-19. To do so, they were lined up with positive and negative olfaction cones and based on positive reinforcement with …

Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the first germ-cell population established during development. The survival of species is dependent upon PGCs in sexually reproducing organisms because they are the founder cells for the germline.
