The most common biomarkers investigated to predict mortality are procalcitonin, C-reactive protein (CRP), pro-adrenomedullin, inflammatory cytokines and D-dimer. Despite the interest of all these ...

In 1969, Dr. Oscar Ratnoff, a pioneer in delineating the mechanisms by which coagulation is activated and complement is regulated, wrote, “In the study of biological processes, the accumulation of ...

Among the suggested methods of antifreeze coating, what is most noticeable is based on simple molecular biology techniques to alter and clone the gene encoding for these proteins using microbial ...

Most of exon 2 encodes the signal peptide. The remainder of exon 2 and exons 3 to 7 encode the extracellular domain, exon 8 encodes the transmembrane domain, and exons 9 and 10 encode the ...

A complete blood count, including platelets, fibrinogen level, a D-dimer study, and fibrin degradation product (FDP) assay, are ordered to help establish a diagnosis of DIC. Within the next hour ...

Cryoelectron microscopy is a method for imaging frozen-hydrated specimens at cryogenic temperatures by electron microscopy. Specimens remain in their native state without the need for dyes or ...

Objective Follistatin-like protein 1 (FSTL1) is widely recognised as a secreted glycoprotein, but its role in modulating macrophage-related inflammation during liver fibrosis has not been documented.
