What is NTD? Prevalence Critical Period It is a defect in the closure of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) during the early embryonic period (first 28 days of pregnancy). It occurs in approximately 1-2 out of every 1000 live births worldwide. It is a disruption in the process of the neural plate folding into a tube (neurulation).
Time-Resolved Fluorescence (TRF) Technology Time-Resolved Fluorescence (TRF) technology is a groundbreaking advanced analytical technique in the fields of biochemistry, immunology, and molecular biology. Offering a more refined approach to measuring fluorescent signals, TRF eliminates many limitations encountered in traditional fluorescence measurements, providing researchers with a powerful tool that delivers unparalleled sensitivity and specificity. www.genesselab.com
WHAT IS TRISOMY? It is the condition in which a particular chromosome is present in three copies (2n+1) in a diploid cell, when it should normally be present in two copies. Diploid (2n) is the condition in which an organism's cells have two complete sets of chromosomes, one from the mother and the other from the father. Human body cells (somatic cells) are diploid with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). Almost all body cells, except reproductive cells (sperm/egg), are in this category. www.genesselab.com
