Radioactive scorpion venom for fighting cancer
Health physicists are establishing safe procedures for a promising experimental brain-cancer therapy which uses a radioactive version of a protein found in scorpion venom. For many, this will conjure images of Spiderman's nemesis, the Scorpion. The purpose of this work is not science fiction, but rather to help to develop a promising new therapy for brain cancer. The venom of the yellow Israe...S-Acetyl Coenzyme A Lithium Salt from USB Corp.

Description:The National Instruments PCIe-1429 is the industrys first PCI Express image acquisition board.With the NI PCIe-1429, you now can acquire images at the highest speeds, resolutions, and bit depths available for Camera Link cameras to perform demanding imaging applications such as synchronized data and image acquisition, fault analysis, and advanced motion tracking. In the past, acquiring ima...pMIR-mU6-Luc, Mouse U6 Luciferase Control Vector from Mirus Bio Corporation
Description:The potential applications for the use of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules to silence gene expression via the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway have generated tremendous interest in the cellular and molecular biology fields. siRNA for experimental use can be synthesized in vitro, either chemically or enzymatically, and then transfected into the target cells in vitro or in vivo. A convenient...pMIR-mU6, Mouse U6Template (Vector) from Mirus Bio Corporation
Description:The potential applications for the use of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules to silence gene expression via the RNA interference(RNAi) pathway have generated tremendous interest in the cellular and molecular biology fields. siRNA for experimental use can besynthesized in vitro, either chemically or enzymatically, and then transfected into the target cells in vitro or in vivo [1-4].

Here are some troubleshooting hints that we have gathered regarding misincorporation or low fidelity of PCR reactions: <a href="#Option1">Magne...Selecting siRNA Sequences to Incorporate into the pSilencer Vectors
The first step in preparing a plasmid for siRNA experiments is to identify target sequences in the gene of interest that are susceptible to siRNA-induced degradation. We have found that a little more than half of the siRNAs provide at least a 50% reduction in target mRNA levels and approximately 1 out of 4 siRNAs...Oracle Corp. to help build world's first "Digital Hospital"
Oracle Corp. and Health South Corp. together will build the worlds first "all digital hospital", according to a release on Monday, issued by the out patient surgical rehabilitation chain. The digital hospital will feature inpatient beds with display screens connected to the Internet, electronic medical records storage, digital imaging and a wireless communications network permitting docto...Development of AIDS vaccine -- Chiron Corp in talks with four Indian cos
A NOVEL research-cum-manufacturing agreement between Chiron Corp, the US-based vaccine major, and an Indian company for the development of a potential AIDS vaccine to halt the spread of the deadly disease in the country is in an advanced stage of finalisation. Two Hyderabad-based biotechnology/pharma companies -- Shanta Biotechnics and Biological E -- are reportedly the front-runners f...Chiron Corporation Gets US Contract To Produce Bird Flu Vaccines
There is an increased Gold rush for Bird flu vaccines and drugs world wide with increased demand in United States.// Due to shortage of vaccines for bird flu vaccines the US has given contract to the Pharmaceutical Company Chiron Corporation to produce Bird flu vaccine. The contract is worth $62.5 million to produce the vaccines to encounter the demand. US Health Secretary Mike Leavitt s...Brain Cancer Could be Safely Treated with Radioactive Scorpion Venom
On going study with radioactive version of scorpion venom protein showed possibilities of treating brain gliomas. Scientists at the Transmolecular Corporation//, Cambridge have developed a radioactive version of a protein resembling the yellow Israeli scorpion venom protein named TM-601, as a safer and different way to destroy proliferating brain cancer cells. Responding to t...Minister Of State For Industry Urges Corporate Sectors To Help India's Disabled Population
The Minister of state for Industry Ashwini Kumar speaking at a national workshop on 'Disability: Mainstreaming the Marginalised', // today urged the corporate sector in India to draw up a framework so to provide a better job opportunities to disabled people. It is only then can the physically challenged be helped to be brought into the mainstream, said Minister. The government's commi...Scorpio CR Knee, cruciate retaining single axis
Description:Scorpio CR Knee is designed to address normal knee kinematics, range of motion (ROM) and polyethylene wear....Scorpio Posteriorly Stabilized Single Axis Knee
Description:The Scorpio Knee's single axis design places the center of rotation deeper to the posterior condyles, increasing the length of the patello-femoral moment arm. Quadriceps efficiency may then be increased to provide greater leverage and reduce the amount of force required to achieve full extension....Scorpio TS Single Axis Revision Knee System
Description:Scorpio TS is designed to maintain a constant center of rotation throughout the range of motion. This provides uniform ligament tension during the transition from full extension to deep flexion. By preserving ligament isometry, Scorpio TS eliminates mid-flexion instability, which is a common concern in revision knee surgery....Alfacell Corporation to Present at C.E.
