Open AccessSerum levels of mature microRNAs in DICER1-mutated pleuropulmonary blastoma
DICER1 is a critical gene in the biogenesis of mature microRNAs, short non-coding RNAs that derive from either -3p or -5p precursor microRNA strands. Germline mutations of DICER1 are associated with a range of hu...

Overview of the Iter Reflectometry Diagnostic Systems
Reflectometry exploits the phase shift of electromagnetic waves as they propagate through the plasma. The waves reflect at the cutoff layer defined by the region where the refractive index becomes zero. Reflec...
