Human zonulin is a protein that increases permeability in the epithelial layer of the small intestine by reversibly modulating the intercellular tight junctions. There is not sufficient information available about zonulin's participation in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). More...20 Nov 2017
Urine Particle Analyzer Compared with Standard Methods
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are characterized by the presence of microbial pathogens within the urinary tract, and they represent one of the most common infections identified in both hospitalized and clinic patients. Most UTIs are easily treated without difficulty. More...20 Nov 2017
New Methods Developed to Diagnose TB and HIV
