Despite the variety of RV characterizing techniques, each technique preferred in definite situations. For example, PPAT (e.g. LAT) is a valuable tool for RV diagnosing in small-scale clinical laboratories or far animal farming systems, while the absence of any instrumentation [54]. ELISA and PAGE commonly used for crude RV identification in large epidemiological surveys [52; 56; 58; 70]. PAGE desired for distinct genes mobility appraisal and grouping into group A, B, and C without further typing

Introduction According to the British Heart Foundation, the definition of cardiovascular disease is, “all diseases of the heart and circulation, including coronary heart disease (i.e. angina, heart attack), heart failure, congenital heart disease, and stroke. It is also known as heart and circulatory disease (BHF, 2011).” Although there are numerous subtypes of cardiovascular disease they are all interrelated by a common setback. Atherosclerosis, which is the build-up of a fatty streak inside of

Bioactive scaffolds As stated previously, the instructive and responsive function of the ECM is essential for normal cellular development. Introducing bioactive molecules in a synthetic scaffold is very important to mimic the natural ECM. In general, there are two ways to add bioactive molecules to a scaffold. This can be done by either mixing the bioactive compounds and the polymers used for electrospinning or introducing covalent modifications to the polymers. Mixing bioactive compounds and base

HCV infections are a major global health burden. HCV is a member of the Flaviviridae family where it forms the genus Hepacivirus. These viruses are enveloped and have a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome. Initial attempts to infect cultured cell lines with HCV contained in serum of infected patients resulted in no virus replication or if any, very low and variable (4). In 2005, All 3 research teams, Charles Rice, Frank Chisari and Ralf Bartenschlager team, separately developed their cell culture

My combined interest in discovery and earning a Ph.D. eventually led to my first research experience through the NeuroSURP program at Rutgers University. There, I became a part of the laboratory of Dr. Emanuel DiCicco-Bloom and worked on a project titled,” Neural Stem Cells from Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Patient Exhibit Abnormal Neurite Outgrowth.” Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder of impaired communication skills and repetitive restrictive behavior

Abstract In this lab of transforming bacteria that was experiment today, I will be identifying the process of bacterial genetic transformation and how to calculate transformation efficiency. The samples that will be used in today’s bacteria will contain samples of E.coli sand inserted DNA plasmid into their genetic sequence. If done correctly the results will show a successful genotypic and phenotypic mutations, which will display fluorescent under ultra-violent lights or show signs to being resistant

More than 60 Rab GTPases have been found, and they each have a particular function in vesicular transport in a cell (Hutagalung and Novick, 2011). For example, Rab 27a and Rab27b are of particular interest in melanoma due to their function of melanosome transport. (Figure 5) Rab27a has been identified as a tumour dependency gene in melanoma (Akavia et al., 2010). 1.4.2 Roles of Rab proteins in cancer Depending on the tumour cell type, there will be differing expression of Rabs. For example, Rab31

Yahya Bello Chemokine receptor CXCR3 mediates gene transcription Introduction The invasion of microorganisms constantly threatened many organisms and it has evolved systems of immune defense for the elimination of pathogens in the body (Shizuo Akira1, 2006). Innate and adaptive immunity are two branches that are comprised in the immune system (Shizuo Akira1, 2006). The innate immune system is the first line of the defense against pathogens and it is mediated by phagocytes, which includes macrophages

Surrounded by patent and ethical issues lies a gene editing method with massive potential within the biotechnology industry. The CRISPR-Cas9 system works like ‘molecular scissors’ where Cas9 is an endonuclease that targets a specific DNA sequence (Griggs. 2015). This is more efficient than the previous methods such as zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), as well as being simpler to use. CRISPR-Cas9 uses single guided RNA (sgRNA) to reach the desired
