Viral diseases pose a significant global health challenge, placing substantial strain on healthcare systems. Accurate identification of viral infections is crucial for monitoring outbreaks, managing ...
Inherently vulnerable to viral contamination, biologics rely on animal- or human-derived starting materials and complex manufacturing processes. Albeit rare, viral contamination incidents are ...
Despite recent advancements, many highly sensitive diagnostic tests for viral diseases still require complicated techniques to prepare a sample or interpret a result, making them impractical for point ...
Scientists have uncovered a surprising viral shortcut that turns moving cells into delivery vehicles for infection. Instead ...
Back in the bad old days, dealing with DNA and RNA in a lab setting was often fraught with peril. Detection technologies were limited to radioisotopes and hideous chemicals like ethidium bromide, a ...
A fast new test that fishes for multiple respiratory viruses at once using single strands of DNA as bait has been developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge. The test, which gives highly ...
Overview of the NAPTUNE detection process. Probe 1 binds to a specific RNA target, where the enzyme APE1 makes a precise cut, initiating a chain reaction. The resulting DNA fragment activates another ...
