The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) recently releases a report that a facial plastic surgery clinic accepted a 34-year-old female patient whose nasal bridge has completely collapsed and nose...

Antibodies, a major component of adaptive immunity, play a critical role in protective and pathogenic immune responses. In recent years, a wide range of antibodies is discovered as candidates of...

It has been widely exploited that DNA and RNA can interact with other nucleic acids in transcription and DNA replication. Recent studies unveil that strong interactions between DNA and RNA...

Bacteria are covered by polysaccharides at the outer surface in the form of capsules, glycoproteins, or glycolipids. Such a bacterial sugar coat constitutes the principal antigens in most pathogenic...

The number of people getting acute pancreatitis in the United States is increasing on the basis of the current average of 275,000 hospital admissions annually. Most patients admitted with pancreatitis...

Abzymes from antibodies and enzymes are often called catalytic antibodies due to the catalytic activity, which are the subject of considerable academic interest, bringing insights into reaction...

Due to the ability to improve the specificity and sensitivity of detection and analysis, antibody pairs have been widely used in fields like cancer, autoimmune disease, metabolic disease, and...

The difference between antigens vs. haptens is one the most concerning issues for people who are not familiar with them. As a matter of fact, antigens and haptens are similar in many ways. They are...

A precise diagnosis has been taken as one of the initial conditions for efficiently treating cancer, for which a technique called biopsy that used to remove a piece of solid tissue or a sample of...

Protein is an important biological macromolecule and research object, remaining the backbone in the field of molecular biology. Antibodies are one of the most important protein tools for current...

Bispecific Antibodies (bsAbs), a type of artificial proteins that can simultaneously bind to two different and unique antigens (or different epitopes of the same antigen), are widely used for both...

Different from many types of hepatitis resulting from viruses, autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a rare disease in which the body's immune system attacks our own liver cells. Chronically, AIH leads to...

An antigen molecule could have multiple antigenic determinants, or known as epitopes. An antibody produced by the immune system can only bind to a specific epitope, while an antigen molecule could...

Microfluidics, as its name suggests, is the science of manipulating fluids on a microscopic scale, and it has positively impacted biology from the aspects of research and industry. With significant...

Pancreatic cancer is one of the leading lethal diseases in the USA, with a low five-year relative survival rate after diagnosis. This cancer is derived from damages to the DNA of pancreatic cells...
