Most sporadic solid tumors require several mutational genetic events prior to acquisition of a malignant phenotype and development of neoplasia. Age-specific incidence data in head and neck squamous ...

Quantitative real time polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) is a PCR technique used for biomedical research. In addition to amplifying a specific sequence of the genetic code, qRT-PCR the amount of DNA ...

The relative levels of the deoxycytidine kinase (dCK), deoxyguanosine kinase (dGK), and the 5′-nucleotidase (5′-NT) are of importance for the effect of many nucleoside analogues used in the treatment ...

Diagnosis of Rickettsia infection would benefit by use of the more rapid and sensitive method of quantitative realtime PCR than the time-intensive and less sensitive method of culturing Rickettsia ...

Molecular effects of anastrozole (A) and tamoxifen (T) alone and combined (C) in the IMPACT trial of neoadjuvant treatment of primary breast cancer No significant financial relationships to disclose.

A new method based on quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was developed and applied to quantify the red tide dinoflagellate Lingulodinium polyedrum in natural seawater samples and ...

Real-time PCR or quantitative PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is an advancement of the standard PCR technique, which enables continuous monitoring of the reaction and collection of data in real time.

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR), invented about three decades ago, soon entered mainstream use thanks to an ongoing series of refinements. One particularly important refinement, introduced about ...

SWOG S9005: Double blind phase III randomized trial of the anti-progestin agent mifepristone in the treatment of unresectable meningioma. Long term follow up of organ preservation for advance ...

What is real-time quantitative PCR? qPCR uses one of two methods to detect the changes to DNA amplification: use of fluorescent dyes or sequence-specific DNA probes. qPCR is normally performed in a ...

The biolistic method is reliable for delivering genes of interest into various species, but low transformation efficiency can be a limiting factor in its application. To test various conditions that ...
