Tissue Microarrays - Opening up new opportunities in the Therapeutics sector

Oct 12

Tissue Microarray has become a pivotal cog in the wheel for high throughput studies and is an integral part in the validation process for screening results from discovery platforms for expression studies using various approaches.

De Novo Formula Generation with Sub-ppm Confidence

Oct 12

Novel technology embodied in the micrOTOF allows precise measurement of both accurate mass and True Isotopic Pattern (TIP) over a wide dynamic range, allowing for the implementation of an open access system. 

PLA 2.0 Software for Analyzing - Parallel-Line and Parallel-Logistic Assays

Oct 12

Biological or potency assays are frequently analyzed with the help of the parallel-line or parallel-logistic (4 or 5 parameter fit) methods. These methods have major advantages over traditional single-point assays.

Attention Deficit & Hyperactivity in a Drosophila Memory Mutant

Nov 9

Action selection is modulated by external stimuli either directly or via memory retrieval. In a constantly changing environment, animals have evolved attention-like processes to effectively filter the incoming sensory stream. These attention-like processes, in turn, are modulated by memory. The neurobiological nature of how attention, action selection and memory are inter-connected is unknown. We describe here new phenotypes of the memory mutant radish in the fruit fly Drosophila.

Mechanisms of plasticity in simple taxis behaviors in Drosophila

Nov 8

Like the proverbial moth drawn to the candle flame, the fruit fly Drosophila also stereotypically approaches light sources. This positive phototaxis is the archetypal example of hard-wired input-output behaviors.

Live cell imaging of mutant and wild-type GABA-A receptor trafficking using a novel reporter protein

Nov 8

Efficient signaling in the brain requires precise regulation and targeting of cell surface ion-channels. Mutations in these channels associated with inherited diseases can cause improper targeting and reduced surface expression.

ADP-Glo™: An Ideal Approach to Monitor the Activity of Protein Kinases and Beyond

Oct 16

Because of its versatility (alltypesofsubstrates), robustness (Z’>0.8), rapidperformance, and its ease of use, the luminescence based Kinase Glo® assay platform has gained wide acceptance in many drug screening programs for protein kinase inhibitors.

Integrated management strategies for red rot disease of sugarcane

3 hours ago

Field experiments were conducted during 2006–07 and 2007–08 crop seasons at IISR institute farm, Lucknow to find out the impact of Integrated Disease Management (IDM) practices over Non-Integrated Disease Management (NIDM) i.e. normal package of practices of cane cultivation on...

Potential of some sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) varieties for syrup and ethanol production in Egypt

3 hours ago

The aim of the present study was to select the suitable sowing date and the proper varieties which perform high yielding ability, juice quality and processing parameters under agro-climatic conditions of El-Giza governorate. Two field trials were carried out at Giza Experimental...

Performance of somaclones developed from intergeneric hybrids of sugarcane

3 hours ago

Subclonal variations play an important role in sugarcane varietal improvement. It is proven that some tissue culture variants are superior than the donor clones in terms of higher biomass, sugar yield and disease resistance. Only limited studies are reported on the tissue...

Transmission and expression of transgenes in progeny of sugarcane clones with cry1Ab and aprotinin genes

3 hours ago

Sugarcane being clonally propagated, its transgenics with the desired trait in a commercial variety need not undergo sexual cycle as that in seed propagated crops in varietal selection or maintenance breeding and in cultivation. Even then, the successful transmission of...

Prokariotic Cell Collection in Denmark

Nov 6

I would like to know about a prokariotic cell collection in Denmark. Is there a cell bank in this country? I need a Lactobacillus strain for a fermentation assay and this information about the bank is very helpful for me.
