In a volume bridging a "PRC generation gap" even though the field is only some 20 years old, UK scientists introduce the origin and applications of the polymerase chain reaction that is now a keystone
Inflammation has been described as the basis of many pathologies of human disease. When one considers the updated signs of inflammation, they would be vasodilation, cell migration, and, in the case of
While the small ubiquitin-related modifier SUMO uses a conjugation and de-conjugation system closely related to that of ubiquitin itself, its functions are highly diverse and largely independent of t
Known for flexibility and robustness, PCR techniques continue to improve through numerous developments, including the identification of thermostable DNA polymerases which exhibit a range of propertie
This volume focuses on the analysis of miRNA and its many components such as targets and expression profiling, regulation of gene expression, miRNA detection in biofluids, and its application in cance
Despite major advances in HIV treatment, many areas require more study, in order to create efficacious, potent antiretrovirals that can suppress viral load completely and durably without toxic side e
This exceptional laboratory manual describes thirty-seven procedures most likely to be used in the next decade for molecular, biochemical, and cellular studies on Drosophila. They were selected after
