Transcriptional regulatory protein RcsB

RcsB is a transcriptional regulatory protein serving as the response regulator of the Rcs phosphorelay in Enterobacteriaceae, controlling more than 5% of genes, including those for capsules, biofilms, and virulence.

Transcriptome

Transcriptome: the complete set of RNA transcripts in a cell or tissue, also called gene readouts. Measured by RNA-seq, microarrays, single-cell, spatial, and long-read methods; differs between cells despite identical genomes.

Transcriptome assembly

Transcriptome assembly is a bioinformatics method that reconstructs transcript sequences, including alternatively spliced isoforms, from short-read RNA sequencing data, de novo or genome-guided, serving researchers studying organisms without reference genomes.

Transcrocetin

Transcrocetin, also called α-crocetin or 8,8ʹ-diapocarotenedioic acid, is the all-trans isomer of crocetin, a yellow apocarotenoid from saffron whose disodium salt was developed as an oxygen diffusion enhancer.

Transcutaneous Blood Gas Monitoring

Transcutaneous blood gas monitoring (tcPO2/tcPCO2, transcutaneous capnometry): noninvasive, continuous measurement of skin-surface oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures using heated electrodes, developed from 1972, routine in neonatal ICU.

Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation

Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) is a non-invasive technique that delivers low-voltage electrical pulses through surface electrodes on acupuncture points to relieve pain and prevent nausea.

Transcutaneous electrical stimulation

Transcutaneous electrical stimulation, most commonly transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), delivers low-voltage pulsed current through electrodes on intact skin to stimulate nerves for pain relief.

Transcutaneous oximetry

Transcutaneous oximetry (TcPO2) is a noninvasive test that measures oxygen partial pressure at the skin surface using a heated electrode, guiding wound care and limb ischemia assessment.

Transcutaneous pacing

Transcutaneous pacing (TCP, external pacing): emergency noninvasive cardiac pacing via skin electrodes for symptomatic bradycardia; a short-term bridge to transvenous pacing, ineffective in asystolic arrest; pioneered by Paul Zoll, re-introduced 1981 with 40 ms pulses and 80 cm2 electrodes.

Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation

Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) is a noninvasive neuromodulation technique using skin electrodes to activate spinal cord circuits, used to restore motor function after spinal cord injury.

Transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation

Transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) is a noninvasive neuromodulation technique that passes weak direct current through skin electrodes over the spine to modulate spinal cord excitability.

Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation

Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) is a noninvasive neuromodulation treatment that delivers electrical pulses to the tibial nerve at the ankle through skin electrodes, used mainly for overactive bladder.

Transdermal patch

Transdermal patch: adhesive drug-delivery system releasing medication through skin into systemic circulation over days. First marketed 1979 (scopolamine, Transderm Scop); nitroglycerin patches 1981; reservoir vs matrix designs; avoids first-pass metabolism.

Transdev

Transdev is a French multinational transport operator headquartered near Paris that runs bus, rail, tram, and ferry networks under contracts in 19 countries, with 107,000 employees.

Transdierna

Transdierna (Transdiana), Roman fort on the right bank of the Danube at Tekija, Serbia, opposite Dierna (Orșova); attested by Procopius, De Aedif. IV, 4; a bridgehead pair of the Iron Gates Danube limes, active in the Dacian Wars.

Transdifferentiation

Transdifferentiation (lineage reprogramming, direct conversion): conversion of one differentiated cell type into another without a pluripotent intermediate, exemplified by newt Wolffian lens regeneration and MyoD-driven fibroblast-to-muscle conversion.

TransDigm Group

TransDigm Group Incorporated is an American aerospace components manufacturer founded in 1993 that buys businesses making proprietary, largely sole-source aircraft parts and prices them for value rather than cost.

Transdisciplinarity

Transdisciplinarity is a mode of research integrating the natural, social, and health sciences that transcends disciplinary boundaries and involves non-academic stakeholders, arising from a 1970 OECD conference in France.

Transducer

A transducer is a device that converts a physical quantity being measured into a usable output, most often an electrical signal, and is closely related to the sensor.

Transduction (genetics)

Transduction (genetics): bacteriophage-mediated transfer of bacterial DNA between cells, discovered by Zinder and Lederberg in Salmonella in 1952; generalized (random DNA packaging, P22/P1) versus specialized (prophage imprecise excision, lambda) forms.

Transductive learning

Transductive learning is a machine learning setting, introduced by Vapnik, in which a model predicts labels for one specific given test set rather than learning a general rule.

Transduodenal Sphincterotomy

Transduodenal sphincterotomy (transduodenal sphincteroplasty, TDS) is open surgical incision of the sphincter of Oddi via a duodenotomy, now reserved for failed or impossible endoscopic sphincterotomy, altered anatomy, and pancreas divisum.

TransE

TransE is a knowledge graph embedding method that represents entities and relations as vectors, scoring a triple by how well head plus relation approximates the tail.

Transect sampling

Transect sampling is a field survey method in ecology in which an observer travels along lines through a habitat, recording distances to detected organisms to estimate density.

TransEnterix Inc.

TransEnterix Inc., later known as Asensus Surgical, was a surgical robotics company in Morrisville, North Carolina, best known for the Senhance laparoscopic robot with haptic feedback.

Transesophageal echocardiography

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is an ultrasound technique in which a probe in the esophagus images the heart from behind, giving sharper pictures than chest-wall scans.

Transesterification

Transesterification is an interchange reaction that converts one ester into another by exchanging its alkoxy or acyl group, best known as the central step of biodiesel production.

TRANSFAC

TRANSFAC (TRANScription FACtor database) is a commercial, manually curated database of eukaryotic transcription factors, their DNA binding sites, and PWM binding models, begun at GBF Braunschweig in 1988 and distinct from open-access JASPAR and HOCOMOCO.

Transfăgărășan

The Transfăgărășan, also called the Transfagarasan Highway, is a 151 km national road in Romania built 1970 to 1974 on Ceaușescu's orders as a military route.
