In summary we found that the efficacy of heat-inactivation varies greatly depending on temperature and duration. Local validation of heat-inactivation and its effects downstream is therefore essential for molecular testing.Previous studies showed that, compared to genotype IV Newcastle disease virus (NDV), genotype VII NDV induced extensive…[Read more]

Alport syndrome (AS) is a hereditary glomerular nephritis caused by mutation in one of the type IV collagen genes α3/α4/α5 that encode the heterotrimer COL4A3/4/5.

This optimization allows us to reach an overall power conversion efficiency of 5.09% in planar configuration.Epitaxial transition metal nitrides (TMNs) are an emerging class of crystalline thin film metals that can be heteroepitaxially integrated with common group III-nitride semiconductors such as GaN and AlN. Within a binary family of TMN…[Read more]
