Reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA is an essential test to monitor the occurrence of COVID-19.A methodology is proposed for the determination of maximum pool size and adjustments Bath of cut-off values of cycle threshold (Ct in RT-qPCR pool testing, to compensate for the dilutio
Clonal development (clonogenicity) is an inherent property of a subset of postnatal bone marrow (BM) adherent stromal mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from which a multipotent progeny develops in culture.Our data suggest that clonogenicity and BM-MSC expansion are two distinct biological events.This hypothesis is based on the following observations: (
The causes and contributing factors of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are poorly understood.One gene associated with increased risk for ASD is methylenetetrahydrofolate-reductase (MTHFR), which encodes a key enzyme in one carbon (C1) metabolism.The MTHFR 677C > T polymorphism reduces the efficiency of methyl group production with possible adver
