Brain cells in a mouse model of Alzheimer'sdisease have surprised scientists with their ability to recuperateafter the disorder's characteristic brain plaques are removed.Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louisinjected mice with an antibody for a key component of brain plaques,the amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide. In areas of the brain whereantibodies cleared plaque...Plants, animals share molecular growth mechanisms
A newly discovered plant protein complex that apparently switches on plants' growth machinery, has opened a scientific toolbox to learn about both plant and animal development, according Purdue University scientists. The protein complex triggers communication between molecules along a pathway that leads to the creation of long protein strings, called actin filaments, that are necessary fo...Plants respond similarly to signals from friends, enemies
Two soil-dwelling strangers ?a friend and a foe ?approach a plant and communicate with it in order to enter a partnership. The friend wants to trade nitrogen for food. The foe is a parasite that wants to burrow in and harm the plant. In a new finding published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers at North Carolina State University have found that the two strange...Affymetrix Unveils Plans to Double Plant and Animal Genome Microarray Offering

Description:The UltraClean Plant DNA Kit is designed for fast and easy purification of total cellular DNA from plant cells and tissues. The bead beating technology used in this kit replaces cumbersome DNA isolation procedures such as CTAB, phenol, or chloroform extraction. Using the UltraClean procedure, alcohol precipitation is not necessary - purified DNA is ready for immediate use. Plant tissue samples...UltraClean-htp 96 Well Plant DNA Kit from Mo Bio Laboratories, Inc.
Description:Use this kit to purify genomic DNA from plants in 96 well plates. Plant materials are homogenized by bead beating in a deep well plate using large zirconia beads optimized for even tough plant material. This requires a high velocity plate shaker (available through Mo Bio). Cells are lysed and DNA is bound to a silica membrane spin filter plate. The DNA is washed and then released into 10 mM Tris...Simple and Rapid Isolation of Plant RNA Using the Eppendorf Perfect RNA, Eukaryotic, Maxi Kit

An Iowa infant aged 7 months was the first recipient of a bloodless liver transplant in Los Angeles, the United States of America. The seven month old, Aiden Michael Rush, whose parents are Jehovah’s Witnesses are prohibited by their religion to receive transfusions. The boy received 20% of his mother’s liver during the transplantation on February 7th at the children’s hospital i...Liver donors can thrive after transplant
Contrary to belief that donating liver can injure the donor, it is now established without doubt that a living person can donate a part of his liver to a person needing it. And the good news is that the donor would continue to live well and thrive after donating part of his/her liver. Donation of a piece of the liver's right lobe from one adult to another is a relatively new procedure. I...ATG useful in transplant patients as substitute for steroids
Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), a compound made from rabbit antibodies appears to be as effective as routine steroids in reducing rejection of transplanted organs without any of the side effects, according to Dr. James Eason of the Ochsner Multi-Organ Transplant Center in New Orleans. In the largest study on steroid-free treatment of liver transplants, Dr. Eason found patients treated with...Scientists plan human cloning clinic in the United States
An international group of reproductive scientists plan to launch a human cloning clinic, which will provide cloning services to infertile couples within 18 months, according to a US infertility specialist, Dr. Panayiotis Zavos.
