Detection of mRNAs on Cryosections of the Cardiovascular System Using DIG-Labeled RNA Probes

The following protocol was optimized from a protocolusing 35S-labeled RNA probes [1, 2]. In research studies,it enables detection of the expression of rare mRNAs inthe cardiovascular system (e.g., of the proinflammatorycytokine granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating...

A Novel Process for Gene Expression Profiling of Rat and Mouse Tissues from Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Sections Using Microarrays

This application note describes a method for extracting and isolating total RNA from rodent tissues that have been fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin, and the subsequent amplification of mRNA from these tissues for use in microarray experiments. We have used this methodology to demonstrate that robust and reliable methods do exist for retrieval of...

Busy Intersections Invite People to Walk More

People are more likely to go for a walk in areas with four-way intersections and a large number of shops and businesses as possible destinations,// a large new study finds. The study examined pedestrian trips in 10 major U.S. cities to determine to what extent urban design guidelines increase walking. Only two of four smart growth criteria investigated held up as reasons f...
