Qualitative methods: an alternative view [PDF]

BMJ, 2011
Are qualitative and quantitative research really based on different philosophies? John Paley and Richard Lilford argue that the idea that qualitative research is constructivist should not be allowed to diffuse into medical literature unopposed.

OsteoBLAST: Computational Routine of Global Molecular Analysis Applied to Biomaterials Development

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
For bone purposes, surface modifications are a common trend in biomaterials research aiming to reduce the time necessary for osteointegration, culminating in faster recovery of patients. In this scenario, analysis of intracellular signaling pathways have

Impact of mono-culture vs. Co-culture of keratinocytes and monocytes on cytokine responses induced by important skin sensitizers

Journal of Immunotoxicology, 2021
Sensitization to a contact allergen brings with it a lifelong risk to develop allergic contact dermatitis. Inflammation is an important part of the skin sensitizing mechanism, and understanding how different haptens stimulate the immune system, as well ...

Adaptation of the HEp-2 cell line to totally animal-free culture systems and real-time analysis of cell growth

BioTechniques, 2021
Routine cell culture demands the use of animal-derived products, mainly fetal bovine serum and swine or bovine trypsin. According to the 3Rs principle and to the European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods, animal-free substitutes are ...

The Growing Importance of Three-Dimensional Models and Microphysiological Systems in the Assessment of Mycotoxin Toxicity

Toxins, 2023
Current investigations in the field of toxicology mostly rely on 2D cell cultures and animal models. Although well-accepted, the traditional 2D cell-culture approach has evident drawbacks and is distant from the in vivo microenvironment.

Alternative Method of Allelic Discrimination

BioTechniques, 2014
5' nuclease assays for allelic discrimination use both a wild-type and a mutant probe. Here we present a new method for genotyping by 5' nuclease assays that dispenses with the mutant probe, using the wild-type probe together with a probe for a reference gene known to be present in two copies to determine the copy number of the wild type allele ...
