Thermal analysis is an essential aspect of materials science that encompasses a range of analytical methods and is pivotal in understanding processes like crystallization, glass transition, and thermal stability. Put simply, it offers insights into the physical properties of materials as they respond to temperature changes.
One of the most common ways to perform thermal analysis is to use a thermal analyzer. These sophisticated instruments measure properties such as heat capacity, heat flow, and temperature changes within a sample.
Humans have similar DNA sequences. Any two humans can?share 99% of the same genome sequence. Nonetheless, the 1% difference contributes a large portion of what makes a human unique. Moreover, researchers have discovered differences independent of a person’s genome sequence that affect their traits. These differences are known as epigenetics. Here, diverse human cell types modify their DNA using molecular groups.?
These changes are not spurious. Aberrant gene modifications have been linked with?cardiovascular disease?and?cancer. Tools that profile these modifications can therefore spur new approaches to treat disease beyond a person’s genome.
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a fundamental tool of modern chemical analysis. A technique centered around the absorption of infrared light by molecules, it offers a window into the molecular world that reveals a wide range of details about chemical structures and compositions.
IR spectroscopy’s ability to identify and analyze many different materials—from organic compounds to inorganic substances—makes it indispensable across various scientific fields that rely on chemical analysis.
Variety is the spice of life. And living cells agree. Billions of cells comprise the thousands of species and people that live on our planet. Each cell within a cell population can look and act differently, even within the same tissue.?
The many cell types that comprise our body’s tissues?affect how cells respond to treatment and other environmental stimuli. So, how do we characterize these responses?
Till next time.
