How do I interpret an interaction between variables in a linear mixed model?

For example, I have a 2-level factor variable (diagnose) in interaction with a 6-level factor variable (layer). Intercept by default is the first level of all. In my case intercept is control...

Is there a functional difference between a two-way ANOVA and a one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post-hoc?

Hi, I have been thinking about this for a couple months, and I am wondering if anyone else has any input. Lets say I have 4 treatments 1) 0 nM compound X + 0 nM Compound Y 2) 10 nM compound X + 0...

Why do scRNAseq pipelines (e.g. seurat) have the filtering step to remove cells that express over 2500 genes? Meaning, why 2500?

Does anyone know how this number became "default"? what is it based on? How deep is our knowledge of "average" , "healthy" gene expression of different cell types? Sorry if my question is trivial...

Has anyone had success with antibody conjugation kits for ICC/IHC studies?

I am planning a multiplex ICC experiment. The issue is that several of my antibodies are anti-rabbit which would cross react with secondary antibodies. I was wondering if anyone has used antibody...

Is there another site which acts as a forum for device process engineers to discuss recipes/approaches/observations/tips/etc.?

I am well aware that recipes we may come across in a journal article or elsewhere rarely work properly in a different location with a different tool, however, it shows that a thing is possible and...

What are some low melting point polymers that could be utilized as fused deposition modeling filaments with high transmittance?

I currently work with polycaprolactone, which has a low melting point (~60C), but poor transmittance without heating close to the melting point. Please suggest a low melting point polymer (70%)...

Is it possible for two human neuronal cell lines to have different gene sequence for the same protein?

I am looking at the ATP1A2 (Sodium/Potassium ATPase alpha subunit 2) in two human neuronal cell lines. Expression levels of this protein seems to be almost equal when detected by one antibody....

Is CD44 degraded in lysosome together with hyaluronan after CD44 mediated endocytosis of hyaluronic acid?

Also when RHAMM binds hyaluronic acid, they get internalized, will RHAMM also be degraded? Or both CD44 and RHAMM will be transferred back to the cell membrane? Asking for breast cancer cell line...

Do you need the CMV enhancer before the CMV promotor for a proper function of CMV on the gene that follows?

I'm a student and I have to produce a cell line with a knockin for the NRF2 gene with GFP. I have to put a promotor in front of the GFP because the gene will be too far away from the promotor of...
