Article Synopsis
- * Researchers aim to develop A. oryzae strains that produce less TCA by understanding how different concentrations of TCP affect the mold's growth and reproduction.
- * The study found that higher TCP concentrations significantly slowed A. oryzae's growth and conidia formation, with no growth at concentrations above 30 μg/mL in liquid culture and 50 μg/mL in agar
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on comparing the RT-LAMP diagnostic method with the traditional RT-PCR method for accurately detecting COVID-19.
- RT-LAMP demonstrated high specificity (98.5%) and sensitivity (87.0%), proving to be a reliable alternative for diagnosing the virus quickly and cost-effectively.
- Findings suggest that RT-LAMP can be effectively used in various healthcare settings as a point-of-care testing option, showing comparable accuracy to RT-PCR in samples with low viral load.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)alpha is increased in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and considered to play an important role in the inflammation. Infliximab (IFX) is used as a therapeutic agent for CD. Recently, it was reported that homozygosity for a lymphotoxin alpha (LTA) haplotype (LTA 1-1-1-1) may identify subgroups with a poor response to IFX.
