Comparison of Automated and Traditional Western Blotting Methods

  • Aino Sormunen,
  • Emma Koivulehto,
  • Kari Alitalo,
  • Kalle Saksela,
  • Nihay Laham-Karam and
  • Seppo Ylä-Herttuala

Traditional Western blotting is one of the most used analytical techniques in biological research. However, it can be time-consuming and suffer from a lack of reproducibility. Consequently, devices with different degrees of automation have been devel...

Real-Time Monitoring of Lysosomal Membrane Permeabilization Using Acridine Orange

  • Ida Eriksson,
  • Linda Vainikka,
  • Hans Lennart Persson and
  • Karin Öllinger

Loss of lysosomal membrane integrity results in leakage of lysosomal hydrolases to the cytosol which might harm cell function and induce cell death. Destabilization of lysosomes often precede apoptotic or necrotic cell death and occur during both phy...

Intrarater Reliability and Analysis of Learning Effects in the Y Balance Test

  • Olli Kattilakoski,
  • Noora Kauranen,
  • Mari Leppänen,
  • Pekka Kannus,
  • Kati Pasanen,
  • Tommi Vasankari and
  • Jari Parkkari

While the general reliability of the Y balance test has been previously found to be excellent, earlier reviews highlighted a need for a more consistent methodology between studies. The purpose of this test–retest intrarater reliability study wa...
