Cytoplasm affects the number of vertebrae in carp-goldfish clones
The March 2005 issue of Biology of Reproduction contains a report of some intriguing findings in cloned offspring created when nuclei from one genus of fish were transplanted to enucleated eggs of another genus of fish. The seven offspring, cloned from nuclei of common carp and egg cytoplasm of goldfish, were virtually identical to the nuclear donor species, Cyprinus carpio, in appearance...Cloned stem cells prove identical to fertilized stem cells
Scientists generally agree that all cloned animals are biologically flawed. But they don't agree about what that means for stem cells derived from cloned embryos, the basis for therapeutic cloning. Also known as somatic cell nuclear transfer, therapeutic cloning is a promising approach to create individually customized cellular therapies for treating certain disorders. Demonstrated in mic...Man's best friend: Study shows lonely seniors prefer playtime with pooch over human interaction
A new Saint Louis University study shows there is some truth in the old cliché that describes a dog as "man's best friend." Nursing...Computational analysis shows that plant hormones often go it alone
Unlike the Three Musketeers who lived by the motto "All for one, one for all," plant hormones prefer to do their own thing. For years, debate swirled around whether pathways activated by growth-regulating plant hormones converge on a central growth regulatory module. Now, the cooperation model is challenged by researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. They show that each hormone a...Adults who go to bed lonely get stress hormone boost next morning
A new study that takes a rare look at the physiological, social and emotional dynamics of day-to-day experiences in real-life settings shows that when older adults go to bed lonely, sad or overwhelmed, they have elevated levels of cortisol shortly after waking the next morning. Elevated levels of cortisol -- a stress hormone linked to depression, obesity and other health problems when chro...Mouse Anti-Amodiaquine Monoclonal Antibody, Unconjugated, Clone 6D10 from AntibodyShop A/S

Description:The JNK (c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase) signal transduction cascade is one of three identified MAP kinase pathways in mammals. JNK pathway activation occurs in response to environmental stress, is associated with the nuclear accumulation of JNK itself, and is implicated in the immune response, cellular proliferation, oncogenic transformation, morphogenesis, and apoptosis.JIP1 (JNK-interacting protein...Low Abundance cDNA Cloned Using Stratagenes Human Universal cDNA Library

Scientists for the first time have found a way for the survival of endangered animal species of the world. In a major breakthrough a Massachusetts scientists who engineered the feat has managed to clone cells from an endangered animal (Asian Gaur) and successfully impregnated an Iowa cow with the clone. The scientific journal Cloning has reported in its upcoming edition that...Organs made from cloned embryos
Using building material from cloned cow embryos, scientists say they have constructed miniature kidneys that appear to function similar to genuine organs. Embryos contain master cells called stem cells that have the potential to grow into any tissue in the body.// In this case, they grew the embryos to the stage where they could identify cells destined to become kidney cells. While it is...Risk of heart diseases due to loneliness
According to researchers at the University of Texas, a new study shows that people who are secluded handle stress in a way that increases their risk of heart disease. They had a group of students carry out mentally and emotionally stressful tasks,// having previously assessed their level of loneliness and social isolation.They found that the lonely students were more likely to respond wit...Rat joins list of cloned animals
Cloning will aid in the development of genetically modified rat models of greater predictability and quality. Scientific results obtained from these models will contribute to the development of innovative therapeutics for major pathologies such as cardiovascular diseases, //cancers, obesity, diabetes and neurological disorders. Rats and mice used in labs are inbred or genetically...Maloney Non-Aspirating Lid Speculum
