New research indicates a 'troubled' greenhouse is brewing
Climates like those of the movie "Monsoon Wedding" may extend more widely into Africa, North America and South America, according to a University of Oregon geologist's analysis of an ancient greenhouse event. "We know the gathering greenhouse will be warm, but this new information confirms that the contrast between the rainy season and the dry season will increase dramatically," says Greg...Genetic defects give the immune system the green light to attack the pancreas
Scientists at Joslin Diabetes Center have found genetic regions that, when defective, allow the immune system to attack the pancreas ?the first in a series of mis-steps that lead to type 1 diabetes. Armed with these findings published March 22 in the journal Immunity, the researchers are now trying to hone in on the exact genes involved, in mice and in human patients. “The significance of...While on trail of dioxin, scientists pinpoint cancer target of green tea
Green tea appears to protect against cancer by affecting a "promiscuous" protein that pharmaceutical experts are already targeting in an effort to develop a new drug to stop the disease, scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center have found. The research, which buttresses beliefs about the health benefits of green tea with solid scientific evidence, has been cited as part of the bes...UN successfully tests 'green' pesticide against locusts
A new method for manipulating macromolecules has been developed by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The technique uses double-stranded DNA to direct the behavior of other molecules. In previous DNA nanotechnology efforts, duplex DNA has been used as a static lattice to construct geometrical objects in three dimensions. Instead of manipulating DNA alone into s...Green catalyst destroys pesticides and munitions toxins, finds Carnegie Mellon University
Results reported at American Chemical Society meetingA chemical catalyst developed at Carnegie Mellon University completely destroys dangerous nitrophenols in laboratory tests, according to Arani Chanda, a doctoral student who is presenting his findings on Sunday, Aug. 28, at the 230th meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in Washington, D.C. (Division of Industrial and Engineering Chemi...SYBR Green II RNA gel stain*10,000X concentrate in DMSO* from Molecular Probes (Invitrogen)

A 1 mL unit size (S-7568) and a special packaging (S-7586) are available....SYBR Green I nucleic acid gel stain*10,000X concentrate in DMSO* from Molecular Probes (Invitrogen)
Description:This exceptionally sensitive nucleic acid gel stain has bright fluorescence when bound to dsDNA and low background in gels, making it ideal for detecting dsDNA in gels using laser scanners or standard UV transilluminators. has also found uses in capillary electrophoresis, real-time PCR assays and bandshift assays. One mL stains 100 minigels. A 500 µ...Transfection of Green Fluorescent Protein into Human Adrenalcarcinoma Cells
Department of Cell Biology, Neurobiology, and Anatomy University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, OH 45267 Transfection of mammalian cell lines is enhanced by the use ofliposome-based reagents. Here we compare the transfection e...QuantiTect SYBR Green RT-PCR Kit
In one-step quantification of RNA using the QuantiTect SYBR Green RT-PCR Kit, sensitivity is enhanced by combining HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase with a unique blend of Sensiscript and Omniscript Reverse Transcriptases. Sensiscript RT is designed for use with very small amounts of RNA, while Omnis...Eat greens to have a ever green heart
Coronary heart disease, which occurs when arteries that carry blood to the heart become blocked, is one among the leading causes of death. Two new studies reveal that fruits, vegetables and a diet low in fat can protect against heart disease. Fruits and vegetables contain fiber, potassium, folate and antioxidants that lower the incidence of heart disease. Increased fruit and vegetable c...Green tea beneficial in preventing osteoarthritis
Green tea, first discovered in China nearly 5000 years ago, has been linked to many health benefits including preventing coronary heart disease, stroke and certain types of cancer. Researchers in the University of Sheffield have now discovered that two compounds found in green tea, EGCG (epigallocatchin gallate) and ECG (epicatechin gallate) can help prevent osteoarthritis by blocking the enzyme...Green Onions Blamed in Outbreak
Health authorities have determined that green onions likely caused a recent outbreak of Hepatitis A in Pennsylvania that infected more than 500 people and killed three.// Bill Zavertnik, Chi-Chi's chief operating officer, said in a statement that health officials confirmed that Chi-Chi's employees were not the source of the outbreak, that there was nothing they could have done to...Green Tea Might Help Patients With Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is currently one of the most common male cancers and the second leading cause of cancer death in men.// Findings from a recent study suggests that green tea may help fight prostate cancer . The study, conducted in a mouse model of human prostate cancer, showed that substances called polyphenols present in the drink combat the disease on multiple levels. Polyphenols alter...Green Straight Fixation Forceps
