(2013-02-06)The flagella organelle is crucial to many different cells and organisms because it allows for sensation and movement throughout a matrix. The Intraflagellar Transport system (IFT) is of particular interest since it helps ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Salmonellae are enteric bacteria infecting animals and humans. Large animal clinics and Veterinary Teaching Hospitals are greatly affected by Salmonella outbreaks and nosocomial infection. The risk of environmental ...

(2020-10-26)Malaria remains one of the deadliest diseases of the 21st Century, with 405,000 deaths annually. The visualization of stained blood smears with white light microscopy is still the gold standard for a proper diagnosis. Due ...
-
(2019-04-29)As the issue of bacterial antibiotic resistance becomes more prevalent, phage technology research attempts to investigate viruses to possibly target and kill pathogens effectively with specificity. This study is an ...
-
(2011-08-08)One hundred fifty-five peach (Prunus persica) cultivars, from Asia, Brazil, Europe, and the USA, were examined using eleven Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) to study the genetic relationships among low chill as compared to ...
-
(2013-02-04)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that act as post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression in eukaryotic genomes and are thought to be critically involved in many biological processes. While the functions ...

Leveraging Microfluidics and Electrokinetics to Improve Sample Preparation and Biomarker Detection (2023-03-30)With the advent of global pandemics, the world has developed a demonstrable need for rapid and low-cost testing platforms for diagnostics. Microfluidic diagnostics can meet this demand due to the versatility and scalability ...
-
(2015-03-27)The ability of convective flows in micro-scale confinement to direct chemical processes along accelerated kinetic pathways has been recognized for some time. However, practical applications have been slow to emerge because ...
-
(2011-02-22)The phylum Chaetognatha is a mysterious group of organisms that has eluded scientists for more than a century because of their unique morphology and developmental characteristics, i.e. protostome (mouth develops from ...
-
(2020-04-08)Microfluidic PCR is one of the most common and widely used sample preparation techniques. Most heating methods for microfluidic PCR are heated in one of two ways: (1) the reaction is pumped between different boundary-heating ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Previous studies on the prevalence of Salmonella in cats have used a variety of culture methods producing a variety of results, but none have been compared to PCR. Using a double enrichment protocol developed at Texas ...
