Significance of Diagnostic Enzyme Detection
Serum enzyme tests have been used in clinical practice for a long time, such as increased amylase activity in serum and urine of patients with acute pancreatitis. In the 1930s, some scholars reported that the determination of serum lipase and alkaline phosphatase activities is helpful for the diagnosis of pancreatitis and bone diseases, respectively. After the 1950s, the application of serum ...

What Is Single-Cell Sequencing and How to Achieve It?
The cell is the basic unit of life. Most current studies on the human genome, cancer or other fields are still conducted from the population level, and the results are often the mean value of gene expression in cell populations or only represent information on the vital activities of numerically dominant cells, while failing to accurately reflect much of the information on cellular heterogeneity ...
