Medical rings, often referred to as marker bands, play a vital role in the field of medical devices. These small yet essential components are usually crafted from metals such as gold, platinum, or their alloys, providing radiopaque properties that allow them to be seen in X-ray imaging. This visibility is crucial in many minimally invasive surgical procedures, including angioplasty, where ...
Tau protein is a microtubule-associated protein, mainly present in nerve cells, and participates in the stabilization of microtubules. In certain neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Tau protein may undergo abnormal phosphorylation and aggregation, forming so-called Tau tangles or neurofibrillary tangles.Ubiquitination is a kind of post-translational modification of ...
In post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins, ubiquitination is considered one of the most critical processes in regulating cellular functions and various diseases. The identification of ubiquitination sites becomes very crucial for understanding the mechanisms of ubiquitination-related biological processes. Experimental and computational methods can be used to identify ubiquitination ...
Lipids are the basic substances that make up biological membranes. Through lipid-lipid interactions and interactions between lipids and other biomolecules, a complex network of lipid metabolism is formed, which is involved in a large number of life activities. By studying lipid extracts, information about the lipidome can be obtained. Lipidomics studies lipids in organisms at a systematic level, ...
Rare diseases, also known as orphan diseases, affect a small percentage of the population, making them particularly challenging to diagnose and treat. However, thanks to advancements in medical research and technology, significant progress has been made in the field of rare disease research, from developing accurate diagnostic tools to making effective small-molecule drugs. One of the biggest ...
In many cases, gene therapy requires a vector to deliver the gene therapy drug to the target cell. Viral vectors have been one of the most widely studied vectors due to their outstanding transduction efficiency and other significant advantages. Viral vector-based gene therapy has now achieved good clinical results. More than a dozen viral gene therapy products have been approved for the treatment ...
Introduction to target region sequencing Since the introduction of Sanger sequencing in 1977, genetic sequencing has been greatly improved with costs simultaneously falling. With the ability to rapidly produce large volumes of sequencing data, next-generation sequencing (NGS) enables researchers to obtain whole genome or targeted regions of samples. Targeted region sequencing is preferred by ...
