I understand that the thrombin time evaluates... that is different from the fibrinogen assay.
We were taught that the fibrinogen assay will tell you how much fibrinogen you have based on adding thrombin to diluted citrated plasma. I am

Currently available microRNA (miRNA) markers can be detected by microarray, Northern Blot, real time RT-PCR, and sequencing analysis. However, these assays cannot specify tissue and cell types that contain miRNAs without laser microdissection (LMD). LMD has severe limitations as it requires
