Treatment for spinal cord injury
Approximately 20,000 traumatic spinal cord injuries (SCIs) occur each year in the United States. These injuries are often associated with paralysis and other permanent disabilities. SCI is now recognized to occur in two phases, described as primary
Innovative method for oriented and closed-packed immobilization of immunoglobulins
For enhancing the sensitivity of immunosensing techniques, both clustering and oriented immobilization of immunoglobulin G (IgG) on solid phase are crucial. Conventionally, IgGs have been immobilized onto solid phases (e.g., gold, silica) with variety of scaffold chemistries
L-arginine and B vitamins improve endothelial function in subjects with mild to moderate blood pressure elevation
Mediated by nitric oxide (NO), intact endothelial cells control vascular homoeostasis by regulating vascular tone and preventing smooth muscle cell proliferation, monocyte adhesion to the endothelium and platelet aggregation, thereby protecting blood vessels from the formation of
A quick, simple, effective screening test for concussion
Concussion is a real prospect in many physical contact sports and physically demanding sports. Immediately after a concussion the brain doesn’t act normally. Typical issues for a person with concussion are confusion, difficulty responding to emotional situations
Interrogating the genome: approaches and tools for accessing genomic databases
Reference genome DNA sequences for thousands of species have now been determined, and deposited in freely – accessible public databases. The availability of these genomic data has revolutionized biology, enabling insights into the evolution of life on
Distinct expression profiles of acyl-CoA-binding proteins AtACBP4 and AtACBP5 during pollen development
Flower development is a process during which plants must progress from sexual immaturity to maturity. Throughout these phases, the differential expression of many genes and proteins is evident. In angiosperms, the pollen generates male sperms to facilitate
Similar but ectopic factor in chloroplast biogenesis between dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants
Seed is one of the successful form of reproduction in evolutionary history of land plants. Compared to primitive plants (ferns, mosses and liverworts) which do not have seeds and require water to propagate themselves, seed plants now
15th Asia-Pacific Pharma Congress. Melbourne, Australia. July 16-18, 2018
Asia Pharma 2018 cordially invites you all to be a part of this conference which is mainly focusing on latest advancements emerging in the field of pharmaceutical sciences. ConferenceSeries Ltd is providing a great platform for thousands of
Nanosensor for diabetes management
Diabetes is a major health concern for millions around the world. In addition to the analysis of free glucose level in blood, glucose bound to haemoglobin (HbA1c) is considered to be a very useful diagnostic marker for
Is schizophrenia disappearing?
Psychosis is a mental state with grossly impaired reality testing, manifesting as different mixtures of delusions, hallucinations, deviant thinking and abnormal motor behaviour – so-called positive symptoms. Negative symptoms – reduced emotions, interests, will and social participation
Marine metagenomic large insert libraries as rich source for biofilm inhibiting molecules
Marine microbial consortia are highly diverse and have evolved during extended evolutionary processes of physiological adaptations affected by a variety of ecological conditions and selection pressures. They harbor an enormous diversity of metabolically complex microbes with still
Blood vessels regulate fetal brain growth
Millions of neurons are generated during fetal development from progenitor cells that reside inside the embryonic brain. These neural progenitor cell (NPC)s divide many times to generate new neurons in a process termed ‘neurogenesis’. At each cell
How birds breathe: Did evolution finally get it right?
Flight and the efficiency of the respiratory system Powered (active) flight is a defining lifestyle trait of birds. Showing the exacting evolutionary requirements for flight, powered flight has only ever developed in insects, the extinct pterodactyls, birds
Tissue Science and Regenerative Medicine. Las Vegas, USA. April 23-24, 2018
Allied Academies Publication is an blend of several esteemed academic and scientific associations known for endorsing scientific temperament. The non-profit firm plans for organizing an average of 1000 international conferences in the upcoming years with its renowned journals and Editorial Board
Old drugs learn new tricks: drug repurposing saves the world!
New way of drug discovery, “drug repurposing” has come into the spotlight. Drug repurposing—also known as drug reprofiling or drug repositioning—is essentially using “old” drugs to treat “new” diseases. With increases in knowledge about the molecular mechanisms
Cells must communicate to maintain normal uterine and placental functions
Cell-cell communication through specialized channels known as gap junctions (Fig. 1) regulate cellular metabolism and coordinate cellular functions during growth and differentiation of organs and tissues. Gap junctions are composed of six proteins known as connexins (Cx)
Rain, rain go away, little amoebas want to race
Soil living amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum has been used as a leading model organism for studying eukaryotic cell differentiation and directional cell migration. These functions are interconnected: starved Dictyostelium cells form multicellular aggregates by directional cell migration, and
Calmodulin is necessary for vegetative growth, ultraviolet survival, and sexual development in the model filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa
Calcium (Ca2+) is an important player of intracellular signaling system in living organisms including fungi. In the model filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa, calmodulin (CaM) is a high affinity Ca2+-binding protein involved in the Ca2+ signaling process to
