Tissue microarrays combines tens to hundreds of paraffin-embedded tissue cores into a single paraffin block. It is a practical and highly effective technique for high-throughput analyses of various ...

To study tissue samples from multiple patients, researchers use tissue microarrays (TMAs), a technology in which hundreds of tissue cores are arranged on a single glass slide for analysis by ...

Immunostaining of tissue microarray sections and conventional full sections of each tumor were performed using well-characterized ... were arrayed in one paraffin block and 97 normal tissues, in ...

March 15, 2006 (Vol. 26, No. 6) Emphasis on Potential Clinical Applications and Enhancing RNA Sample Quality Researchers are beginning to look at tissue microarrays (TMA) from different ...

After the whole-block sections were made, tissue microarrays were designed to include six different 0.6-mm core biopsies from each paraffin tissue block.

This is routinely achieved by placing the paraffin blocks on ice, cooling both the tissue and the wax to a similar consistency and swelling the tissue to make it easier to section. As the block ...

Effect of AZD0530 (saracatinib) on biliary cancer cell motility and invasion. Background: Cancer stroma plays a critical role in tumorigenesis. Microarrays are widely used to study gene expression ...

Background: The urokinase plasminogen-activator (uPA) and its inhibitor (PAI-1) predict the benefit of node-negative breast cancer patients from chemotherapy. The determination of uPA and PAI-1 need(s ...
