Scientists use DNA microarrays to measure the expression levels of thousands of genes at the same time. The result is known as(...)
  • MicrogramMicrogram (μg) is a metric system unit of mass. A µg is equal to one millionth (1×10−6) of a gram. Micrograms are typically used in a laboratory setting in early medicines development, or when measuring the concentration of a medicine in the blood.

  • Minimal Anticipated Biological Effect LevelThe Minimal Anticipated Biological Effect Level (MABEL) is the anticipated dose needed to result in a biological effect in participants of a clinical trial. It is a safety window based on pharmacological threshold. The minimal anticipated biological effect level is recommended as a useful(...)
