BIOTECHNIQUES文献大全abstract::For a feasible and cost-effective impedance measurement of cellular alterations in real-time, we combined commercially available microelectrode arrays (MEAs), consisting of 60 microelectrodes, with a conventional impedance analyzer. For proof of principle, a breast carcinoma cell line (MCF-7) was cultured on MEAs, and...

abstract::The role model systems have played in understanding telomere biology has been enormous, and understanding has rapidly transferred to human telomere research. Most work using model organisms to study telomerase and nontelomerase-based telomere-maintenance systems has centered on yeasts, ciliates, and insects. But it is...
