Autoimmune diseases represent a wide range of disorders affecting specific organs or the entire body, all characterized by the immune system’s misrecognition of self-antigens. These conditions arise ...
Autoimmune diseases are a group of diverse and complex disorders that arise from misrecognition of self-antigens by the immune system. These diseases can involve immune cells, cytokines and protein ...
In this issue of BioTechniques, we present a comparison of four analytical methods for hydrogen sulfide quantification and a method for targeted cell delivery to a hydrogel support structure that can ...
CRISPR-based gene editi ng just got safer with the design of a new SuperFi-Cas9 variant that more readily discriminates against mismatches and retains the accuracy and speed of naturally occurring ...
