TQTcTQTc stands for 'thorough QT/QTc study'. The test studies the effect of a compound on the electrical activity of the heart. In cardiology, the QT interval is a measure of the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the heart's electrical cycle. The QT interval(...)
TranscribedTranscription is the process by which genetic information is transferred from DNA to RNA (this is accomplished by an enzyme called RNA polymerase). This RNA will in turn serve as a template to create a protein.
TranscriptomeTo produce proteins, genes are first ‘transcribed’ into messenger RNA (mRNA). The transcriptome represents the whole set of mRNA molecules present in a specific cell or tissue at a certain time. By analysing the transcriptome, researchers can determine when each gene is turned on or off in a(...)
TransdermalTransdermal meaning ‘through the skin’ is a route of medicine administration to deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into the bloodstream e.g. transdermal patches or ointments. Examples include nicotine patches and scopolamine patches for motion sickness.
TransfusionTransfer of blood or blood components (red and white blood cells, plasma, clotting factors, or platelets) into the bloodstream intravenously.
TransgenicA transgenic organism (otherwise known as a genetically modified organism (GMO)) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered. Genetic modifications are made to produce certain traits (such as disease resistance in crops) or to cause the organism to produce specific biological(...)
TranslatedIn the field of genetics, translation is the process by which a protein is made from messenger RNA (mRNA). During translation, an RNA sequence is read and translated into the code of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.

Treatment groupIn a clinical trial, the treatment group (as opposed to the control group) usually refers to the group of participants that receives the treatment under investigation. The treatment group is also known as the ‘treatment arm’.
