Serum Mimecan Associated with Arterial Stiffness in Hypertensive Patients
Mimecan plays an important role in endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell integrity and may be involved the pathology of arterial stiffness; however, the role of mimecan in arterial stiffness in patients with hypertension is not well defined. More...18 Aug 2015
Newly Developed Mobile Phone Device Reads ELISA Plates
A multidisciplinary team of scientists and clinicians have developed a handheld smartphone-based device that can quickly read standard 96-well microplates with the same level of accuracy as the platforms commonly used in central clinical laboratories. The device, made by 3-D printing, attaches to the smartphone. More...17 Aug 2015
