Every decade or so, it seems, a new laboratory technique comes along which promises to revolutionize the way we study biology. In the 70s it was molecular cloning; in the 80s it was PCR; and in the ...

The field of proteomics has undergone rapid advancements over the last decade and protein microarrays have emerged as a promising technological platform for the challenging task of studying complex ...

Microarrays of oligonucleotides which represent the complete set of complements to a target RNA are readily made by a simple automated method. These ‘scanning’ arrays can be used for basic studies of ...

Genetic abnormalities have been associated with 6 to 13% of stillbirths, but the true prevalence may be higher. Unlike karyotype analysis, microarray analysis does not require live cells, and it ...

Reviewed by Dr. Tomislav Meštrović, MD, Ph.D. The microarray is a very recent development in the field of biotechnology. Scientists are now able to understand the gene functions of any organism by ...

The research community's rapid acceptance of microarrays notwithstanding, technical challenges remain. Biochip developers continue to grapple with these issues while upgrading their offerings and ...

Scientists at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) have developed a new microarray-based diagnostic platform that can help close vaccination gaps and quickly detect ...

Microarrays are a two-dimensional arrangement of biological samples, with samples placed in spots numbering in the thousands and organized into columns and rows. They allow for efficient analysis of ...

The first study of the use of microarray patches to vaccinate children has shown that the method is safe and induces strong immune responses. The phase 1/2 randomized trial compared results from the ...

In order to keep pace with rapid advancements in protein microarray technology, detection systems have also been significantly improved. Important parameters critical for the success of various ...
