New Platform Technology for Comprehensive Serological Diagnostics of Autoimmune Diseases by Annika Willitzki, Rico Hiemann, Vanessa Peters, Ulrich Sack, Peter Schierack, Stefan Rödiger, Ursula Anderer, Karsten Conrad, Dimitrios P. Bogdanos, Dirk Reinhold, Dirk Roggenbuck

“…Due to lacking automation, standardization, modern data management, and human bias in IIF screening, this two-stage approach has recently been challenged by multiplex techniques particularly in laboratories with high workload. However, detection of antinuclear antibodies by IIF is still recommended to be the gold standard method for antibody screening in sera from patients with suspected SARD. …”

Das valas comuns aos direitos humanos: a descoberta dos desaparecimentos forçados na Espanha contemporânea by Francisco Ferrándiz

“…The ethnography has been carried out in different research scenarios: exhumations, commemorative rituals, academic conferences on memory, teach-ins, demonstrations, book presentations, music concerts, NGOs for the 'recovery of historical memory', different working teams with institutional support, forensic laboratories, art exhibits and so forth. It explores the way in which transnational Human Rights discourses and concepts have been steadily being translated into the Spanish case, becoming one basic guide for action for many of the civil associations, as debates have grown in intensity and depth. …”

Optimized for routine: highly sensitive fluorescent Telomeric Repeat Amplification Protocol (f-TRAP) by Silke Fähnrich, Anne Wedemann, Laura Steenpass, Wilhelm Gerhard Dirks

“…Here we present an optimized protocol for measuring TA that combines a fluorescently labeled bait primer and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification with analytical capillary electrophoresis (CE) to achieve a detection limit of one telomerase-positive cell per ten thousand negative cells. In research laboratories today, a broad panel of TRAP assay protocols enables the assessment of the immortality of newly generated cell lines or the unambiguous evaluation of the reprogramming of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). …”
