Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR or real-time PCR) is the gold standard for precise monitoring of selected genes. Its keen ability to both detect and simultaneously quantify specific DNA ...

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.

With the global overuse of antibiotics, the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and "superbugs" has become a major threat to human health and food safety. Among these, drug-resistant ...

The introduction of real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) in the early 1990s opened the door for quantitative gene expression analysis. Still, qPCR depends on standard curves, allowing only relative ...

Digital PCR, or dPCR, is a molecular biology technique that detects and quantifies nucleic acid targets. By partitioning a sample into many individual reactions, scientists can measure whether a ...

Performance and side effect evaluation of sequentially reduced radiotherapy doses in a phase II trial of induction chemotherapy (IndCT) followed by concomitant chemoradiotherapy (CTX) for advanced ...

PCR is a well-established technique, and over the past decade, it has been adapted to quantify RNA and DNA quicker and more accurately. Multiplex PCR technologies have been developed to increase the ...
