Retrospective study of the patients with unresectable gastric cancer (UNGC) who underwent a gastrectomy after receiving S-1 or S-1 combination chemotherapy (S-1+α) ...

Once the concept of PCR popped into Kary Mullis’ head in 1983 it wasn’t long before scientists realized they had a revolutionary technology in their hands. Because now they could take the smallest ...

Note: An expanded version of this article, with complete Methods and Materials, is available exclusively in Web Extras. Quantitative reverse transcriptase (RT) PCR has evolved into a widely used tool ...

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 ...

Real-time PCR, or quantitative qPCR, is a commonly used molecular biology lab technique to determine the actual amount of PCR product at a given cycle. For quantitative reverse transcription PCR ...

With laboratory methods and diagnostics advancing apace, Francesca Lake considers whether PCR is likely to retain its crown as an essential lab method, or whether it could be replaced and consigned to ...

In vitro diagnostics (IVD) is an umbrella term for tests conducted on blood or tissue samples to detect diseases, determine the efficacy of novel or established treatments, and monitor health.

PCR, or Polymerase Chain Reaction, is a revolutionary molecular biology technique that allows for the rapid amplification of specific DNA sequences. It is an essential tool in various fields, ...

Real-time PCR plays a foundational role in gene expression studies, disease analysis, and molecular diagnostics. However, success depends on precise reaction setup, optimized assays, and accurate ...
