We applied the induced hydration method to obsidian specimens from seven sources in southeastern Nevada, using a frequently-used protocol which minimizes the hot-soak times.
In addition, aged biological specimens comprising bloodstains, hair shafts and bones were successfully identified as being of human origin, illustrating the applicability of the present method to forensic specimens.
Furthermore, by applying the clustering method to multiple specimens from both rat and monkey, we found that cholinergic clusters display remarkable cross-species preservation of cell density within clusters.
We report for the first time the focused ion beam technique (FIB) as a milling method to prepare specimens for transmission electron microscopy investigations of HA thin films grown on metallic substrates.
These issues hinder the application of the color-based segmentation method to histological specimens and should be taken into consideration when choosing the method.
In addition to conditioning the specimens through fully submerging the specimens in water, a new method to condition the specimen through submerging only the bottom half of the specimen in water was used in this study.
EUS-guided FNA is a sensitive method to obtain cytologic specimens from solid lesions in close proximity to the GI tract.
On the other hand, regarding costs, FFPE is by far the cheapest method to preserve tissue specimens.
The search for biomarkers for aging has led to the identification of unique leads in blood samples, a relatively noninvasive method to acquire experimental specimens.
