RIPK3 dampens mitochondrial bioenergetics and lipid droplet dynamics in metabolic liver disease

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
RIPK3 dampens mitochondrial bioenergetics and lipid droplet dynamics in metabolic liver disease. Abstract Background and Aims Receptor‐interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) mediates NAFLD progression, but its metabolic function is unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of RIPK3 in modulating mitochondria function, coupled with lipid droplet (LD)

Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction to Detect Extracellular mRNAs [PDF]

, 2011
The presence of extracellular nucleic acids has been reported in serum/plasma from cancer and diabetes patients that may help in disease diagnosis. Taking insulin-producing cells as examples here, RT-PCR was used to investigate a correlation between the presence and amounts of extracellular mRNA(s) and cell mass and/or function. RT-PCR was performed on

REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE-POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION ASSAYS FOR PROSTATE CANCER

Urologic Clinics of North America, 1997
RT-PCR, if targeted against a prostate-specific marker, can be a highly specific and sensitive assay to detect the presence of occult prostate cancer cells at sites far distant from the primary tumor. The low false-positive rate (0.8%) observed when combining most published studies and the high rate of detection of prostate cells in metastatic patients

Capacity of rTth polymerase to detect RNA in the presence of various inhibitors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The full potential of the real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as a rapid and accurate diagnostic method is limited by DNA polymerase inhibitors as well as reverse transcriptase inhibitors which are ubiquitous in clinical ...

Comparative analysis and identification of spike mutations in Iranian COVID-19 samples from the first three waves of disease

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2023
Background: The spike surface glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 is the essential protein in virus attachment to the target cell and cell entrance. As this protein contains immunodominant epitopes and is the main target for immune recognition, it is the critical

Fetal Cytokine Expression In UteroDetected by Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 1995
Cytokine expression at the maternal-fetal interface is well documented. Some authors have postulated the existence of a bidirectional cytokine signaling mechanism that is critical to the maintenance of normal pregnancy. The role of the fetus (versus fetally derived placental tissues) in this process is unknown.

Enteroviral pharyngitis diagnosed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction [PDF]

International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 1996
The role of enteroviruses in childhood pharyngitis was investigated using enteroviral specific reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Viral/bacterial throat swabs were taken from 50 children with acute pharyngitis and 26 controls.
