Identification and Quantification of DNA Repair Protein Apurinic/Apyrimidinic Endonuclease 1 (APE1) in Human Cells by Liquid Chromatography/Isotope-Dilution Tandem Mass Spectrometry

July 29, 2013
Author(s)
Guldal Kirkali, Pawel Jaruga, Prasad T. Reddy, Alessandro Tona, Li Mengxia, David M. Wison III, M Miral Dizdar, Bryant C. Nelson
Unless repaired, DNA damage can drive mutagenesis or cell death. DNA repair proteins may therefore be used as biomarkers in disease detection or therapeutic response estimation. Thus, the accurate measurement of DNA repair protein expression is of

Challenges of the Changing Robot Markets

July 19, 2013
Author(s)
Gurvinder S. Virk, Carol Herman, Roger V. Bostelman, Tamas Haidegger
Service robots are becoming an integrated part of daily life, entering even the most complex scenarios, yet at a slower pace than previously anticipated. This paper presents an overview of the changing area of robotics and the new challenges being faced

Standard Reference Materials for Medical CT
