What is Gene Knockout Technology?Gene knockout (Gene Knockout) is a molecular biology technique that allows researchers to block or shut off the function of a specific gene to study its role and importance. This technique is achieved by introducing mutations into the gene, making it impossible for the gene to express properly or produce functional proteins.Applications of Gene Knockout ...
FeNO Testing in Asthma Care Although airway eosinophilic inflammation is a key characteristic of asthma, there are few methods available to measure it. This inflammation can be assessed by measuring eosinophils and eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) in sputum or by measuring ECP in blood samples1. However, these methods are considered time-consuming, expensive, and not readily available. For ...
