Studying the complex relationship between transcription, translation and protein degradation is essential to our understanding of biological processes in health and disease. The limited correlations observed between mRNA and protein abundance suggest pervasive regulation of post-transcriptional steps and support the

In this paper, we describe the findings of a study aimed at assessing the detection sensitivity of comprehensive two-dimensional high-performance liquid chromatography (LCxLC) separation of a degraded active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) with UV absorption as the detection technique. Specifically, we

Congenital cholesteatomas are epithelial lesions that present as an epithelial pearl behind an intact eardrum. Congenital and acquired cholesteatomas progress quite differently from each other and progress patterns can provide clues about the unique origin and pathogenesis of the abnormality.
