Abstract:
:Scientific research relies on a range of technologies, many of which are developing at a fast pace. Technical experts able to advise researchers on experimental design and validate the performance1 of shared instruments are increasingly recognized as critical members of the research community. Here I describe a novel postdoctoral fellowship program designed to train expert imaging scientists, which could easily be adapted for other technologies.

杂志文章abstract::Ubiquinone (UQ; also known as coenzyme Q; CoQ) is a mobile component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, where it acts as a pro-oxidant in its ubisemiquinone state. Despite this, UQ is also believed to be a membrane antioxidant. These properties place UQ at the center of hotly debated questions about how mi...
