VarScan

— arScan is a Java-based, platform-independent, software tool that can detect variants in next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. It employs a robust statistical approach to call variants and is able to handle germline variants, multi-sample variants, somatic mutations and somatic copy number alterati…

Multifunctional chemical agents for metal chelation, positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, fluorescence imaging, and amyloid plaque clearance in Alzheimer’s disease

— Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the deposition of amyloid plaques containing the amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide. Currently, no treatment is available for AD. Metal ion interactions of the Aβ peptide are believed to help formation of toxic aggregates. Developing chemical compo…

Nano-CaCO3

— Background: Physiological pH changes consistently affect millions of people worldwide. A slight variation in physiological pH exposes the body to various health risks, ranging from common heartburn to the formation of malignant tumors. Conventional methods for buffering pH are accomplished through a…

New diagnostic test method for infectious diseases

— Background: Viral infections are common causes of fever without an apparent source (FWS) in young children. Despite absence of bacterial infection, many febrile children are treated with antibiotics. Virus and bacteria interact with different pattern recognition receptors in circulating blood leuko…
