Imaging: the technique and process of creating visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention, as well as visual representation of the function of some organs or tissues (physiology). Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease. Medical imaging also establishes a database of normal anatomy and physiology to make it possible to identify abnormalities. Although imaging of removed organs and tissues can be performed for medical reasons, such procedures are usually considered part of pathology instead of medical imaging.

Testing for abnormal immunoglobulins was based previously on serum electrophoresis and immunofixation only. In the last years, however, free light chain (FLC) testing in serum became one imp...
Uses and applications of water across various industries and why it's so critical....
Differences in how users gate populations within experiments are major sources of variability in flow cytometry data analysis. Incorporating automated image analysis can substantially reduce...
Inefficient knock-in of transgene cargos limits the potential of cell-based medicines. In this study, we used a CRISPR nuclease that targets a site within an exon of an essential gene and de...
Employing a metagenomic search, we identified a family of miniature CRISPR-Cas type V-L systems capable of RNA-guided dsDNA target cleavage without a tracrRNA. A bacterial depletion screen r...
Cell-based immunotherapy has become the new-generation cancer medicine, and “off-the-shelf” cell products that can be manufactured at large scale and distributed readily to treat...
Phosphorylation of α-synuclein at the Serine-129 site (α-syn Ser129P) is an established pathologic hallmark of synucleinopathies and a therapeutic target. In physiologic states,...
The use of adeno-associated viruses (AAV) as gene delivery vectors has vast potential for the treatment of many severe human diseases. A small group of intensively studied AAV capsids have b...
