Nucleic acid analysis is used in many areas of life sciences such as medicine, food safety, and environmental monitoring. Accurate, reliable measurements of nucleic acids are crucial for maximum impact, yet users are often unaware of the global
A protocol for increasing soluble protein expression by fusing the chaperone GroEL apical domain with a gene of interest is described herein. GroEL apical domain, the minichaperone that functions independently of GroES and ATP in protein folding, is cloned
Label-free spectromicroscopy methods offer the capability to examine complex cellular phenomena. Electron and X-ray based spectromicroscopy methods, though powerful, have been hard to implement with hydrated objects due to vacuum incompatibility of the

Many mammals use adaptive heterothermy (e.g., torpor, hibernation) to reduce metabolic demands of maintaining high body temperature (Tb). Torpor is typically characterized by coordinated declines in Tb and metabolic rate (MR) followed by active rewarming

The use of in vitro assays to inform decision-making requires robust and reproducible results across studies, laboratories, and time. Experiments using positive control materials are an integral component of an assay procedure to demonstrate the extent to
A broad range of in vitro test methods have been developed given their numerous potential advantages over in vivo tests. We describe here key resources and tools to increase the reliability and reproducibility of in vitro test methods.

In vitro inhalation toxicology methods are increasingly being used for research and regulatory purposes. While the opportunity for increased human relevance of in vitro inhalation methods compared to in vivo tests has been established and discussed, how to
Absolute quantification with mass spectrometry and isotope labelled internal standards has found broad applications in biomedical research. In the present research, it was used for developing and evaluating a new affinity-based approach to isolate

In this case report, we focus on Muenke syndrome (MS), a disease caused by the p.Pro250Arg variant in fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) and characterized by uni- or bilateral coronal suture synostosis, macrocephaly without craniosynostosis
A likelihood ratio (LR) system is defined as the entire pipeline of the measurement and interpretation processes where probabilistic genotyping software (PGS) is a piece of the whole LR system. To gain understanding on how two LR systems perform, a total
