MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small non‐coding RNAs that target mRNAs and are consequently
involved in the post‐transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Some miRNAs are …

Digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) circumventing the external calibration and
potentially providing absolute quantification of nucleic acids has become an increasingly …

The emergence of pathogens resistant to existing antimicrobial drugs is a growing
worldwide health crisis that threatens a return to the pre-antibiotic era. To decrease the …

Microcalorimetry has been widely used to measure and characterize the heat change in
phase transition, resolution mixing, and chemical/biochemical reactions. In this review, we …
