Pipetting in the dark. Special care was taken to prevent the introduction of artificial oxidation into the group's laboratory samples. A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the jo
