For each reconstruction, the following objective measures of image quality were calculated using methods described by Fukukita et al. [9]: SNR was measured in the liver (SNRliver) and aortic arch (SNRAA) using Hermes HybridViewer software (Hermes Medical Solutions, Stockholm, Sweden).
Fibroblast migration assays were performed using methods described by Leavesley et al. [13], with some modifications, using transwell inserts with polycarbonate membranes (diameter, 10 mm; pore size, 8.0 μm; Corning Costar, Cambridge, USA).
The data were collected using methods described by [45].
Highly purified mitochondria were isolated using methods described by Rezaul and colleagues [30].
Preprocessing and normalization followed a standard procedure using methods described by Smyth and Speed [55].
Preprocessing and normalization followed a standard procedure using methods described by Smyth & Speed [107].
Using methods described by Karginov and colleagues [33] with some modifications, we found that FAF1 is a putative target of miR-24.
Also, standards made using methods described by Blair et al. [28] also demonstrated a decrease in sensitivity for -catechin (data not shown).
The P. falciparum 18sRNA gene was amplified using methods described by Padley et al [34], modified by shortening the extension time to 50 sec and extending the number of cycles to 45, or as described by Rubio et al [35].
Samples were assessed using methods described by Bland and Altman for repeated measures.
We extracted RRs and standard error estimates from publications using methods described by Greenland (1987).
