Sea skate experiment sheds light on human cell transport

Along with Mark Musch, a longtime University of Chicago collaborator, Goldstein conducted an experiment with the red blood cells of skates to understand how these skinny, graceful fish can swim from salt water to fresh water. For humans, such a drastic environmental change would prompt an equally drastic physiological change: Our cells would take in too much water, diluting blood and other body f...

Transport System Smuggles Medicines Into Brain

Parrots, long a favorite pet animal, are attractive to owners because of their vibrant colors. But those colors may mean more to parrots than what meets the eye. For more than a century, biochemists have known that parrots use an unusual set of pigments to produce their rainbow of plumage colors, but their biochemical identity has remained elusive. Now, an Arizona State University researc...

Motor transport in bio-nano systems

Molecular motors are nanoscale engines which move along very thin rod-like filaments and, in this way, drive the heavy traffic of molecular cargo within biological cells. Both motors and filaments can be isolated from the cells and used to construct biomimetic transport systems. In order to increase the flux of the cargo transport, it would be necessary to increase the number of motors that contr...

Green diesel: New process makes liquid transportation fuel from plants

University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering researchers have discovered a new way to make a diesel-like liquid fuel from carbohydrates commonly found in plants. Reporting in the June 3 issue of the Journal Science, Steenbock Professor James Dumesic and colleagues detail a four-phase catalytic reactor in which corn and other biomass-derived carbohydrates can be converted to sulfu...

Researchers discover way to transport environmental arsenic to plant leaves in new clean-up strategy

Environmental arsenic pollution is a serious and growing environmental problem, especially on the Indian subcontinent. Researchers at the University of Georgia had, several years ago, used genetic techniques to create "arsenic-eating" plants that could be planted on polluted sites. There was a problem, however. The arsenic sequestered from soil remained largely in the roots of the plant, m...

Anti-Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2 (VMAT2) Polyclonal Antibody, Unconjugated from CHEMICON

Description:Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2 (VMAT2). An antibody made to the C-terminal VMAT2 peptide detected a major band at ~55 kDa in postnuclear supernatants of CHO transfected with VMAT2 and not in wild type cells (2). Some additional bands, both higher and lower molecular weight, were also detected and remain unaffected by the inclusion of protease inhibitors. Higher molecular weight bands may repre...

Anti-Glycine Transporter 2, Neuronal (GLYT2) Polyclonal Antibody, Unconjugated from CHEMICON

Description:Glycine Transporter 2, Neuronal (GLYT2). The antiserum has been tested on tissue sections from the central nervous system. The staining pattern obtained with AB1773 corresponds to the pattern described using in situ hybridization with probes to GLYT2 mRNA and to what has been described for glycinergic neurons. Preabsorption of the antiserum with the immunogen peptide completely abolishes the immu...

New insight for dopamine transporter

Researchers of Yale University had discovered a changed version of dopamine// transporter in healthy persons with genetical variations that may be associated with substance abuse or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Dopamine is a protein produced in the hypothalamus and some areas of the central and peripheral nervous system. Dopamine and its agonists play an important...

Ban On Transporting Poultry Lifted Off In Madhya Pradesh

Madhya Pradesh on Friday relaxed the ban that was imposed on transportation of poultry products, as no new cases of bird flu was reported, except in one district where poultry owners suffered heavy losses. // "The animal husbandry department commissioner has written to all district collectors and commissioners to lift the ban imposed on transportation of poultry a fortnight ago," an off...

Transport of Proteins Unravels the Mystery behind Neurodegenerative Diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases are diseases which occur due to progressive degeneration of the nerves across the body. Some of the important and fatal diseases are Huntington's, ALS and Kennedy disease. // Researchers have found that the main causes for such diseases are the blockage of the transport of proteins within cells. Hence they feel that once the mechanism underlying the cell transport is u...

Transporter offers reliable clues for safer pain medicine

Researchers have zeroed in on a transporter that actually quietens the body’s natural pain killers. This discovery will show the way for potent and non-habit //forming pain killers and will help perceive the pain threshold of AIDS patients. Opioid peptides are natural pain relievers with receptors – first identified because they react to opium – throughout the body, says Dr. Vadivel G...
