Genome editing in non-dividing cells: new strategies are required
Although rare individually, genetic disorders collectively constitute a common health problem. As the cause of these diseases is a defective gene, gene therapy would be able to resolve all of these disorders. The most recent method of
Cellular stress and AMPK activators including metformin and the anesthetic drug propofol promote restoration of human consciousness
引起人类缺点的神经机制ciousness have been described as one of the greatest and most profound mysteries in all of modern medicine. The use of general anesthetics to induce loss of consciousness (LOC)
Emerging diversity of the CRISPR-Cas system in cholera phages
Interactions of bacteria and their phages, which are viruses hostile to bacterial survival lead to the evolution of numerous phage resistance mechanisms. CRISPR-Cas (clustered regularly interspersed short palindromic repeats-CRISPR-associated proteins) is such a defense system of bacteria. The
Angiotensin II actions on distal regulatory elements promote vascular dysfunction and hypertension
Cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension (high blood pressure) and atherosclerosis (blocked blood vessels) lead to heart attacks and strokes, and are highly prevalent worldwide. Furthermore, these complications are significantly accelerated in patients with diabetes. Angiotensin II (AngII)
Old school wins: outbreak investigation of foodborne salmonellosis
Salmonellosis is one of the most common foodborne diseases in humans posing a major public health concern worldwide. It is caused by ingestion of contaminated food with non-typhoidal Salmonella. The most common foods that have been linked
10th International Conference on Genomics and Molecular Biology. Barcelona, Spain. May 21-23, 2018
Conference Name: 10th International Conference on Genomics and Molecular Biology Conference Short Name: Genomics 2018 Venue: Barcelona, Spain & Dates: May 21 – 23, 2018 Genomics 2018 will provide a perfect platform to all the Scientists, Researchers,
Using misglycosylation as a way of visualizing CRISPR-mediated knock-outs of the Conserved Oligomeric Golgi Complex
Intracellular membrane trafficking is a crucial, bi-directional process that occurs in every eukaryotic cell. This process is similar to a cellular mailing system in that it processes, packages, and ‘ships’ things to their correct location. Membrane trafficking
Genetic modification for crop improvement
Genetic modification (GM) of crops involves the transfer of genes for specific traits between distantly related plant species using recombinant DNA technology known as transgenesis. Besides, crops can also be modified by silencing or overexpressing its endogenous
Cyagen Biosciences – Helping you choose the right animal model for your research
While many animal models are available “ off the shelf ” through various repositories and collaborations, generation of novel animal models has allowed for more effective studies, not limited by previously derived lines/ strains. Historically, researchers have
