How to convert human dose to animal dose?

The common perception of scaling of dose based on the body weight (mg/kg) alone is not the right approach. This is primarily because the biochemical, functional systems in species vary which in turn alter pharmacokinetics. Therefore, extrapolation of...

Does PBS buffer affect cell adhesion?

Cell adhesion is a pH-dependent phenomenon: the cells required Mg2+ or Ca2+ for attachment to substrates at pH higher than the isoelectric point of the proteins coating a plastic surface, but not at lower pH. With increasing pH from 3.4, cell adhesiv...
