We have identified by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis a protein known as stathmin which is phosphorylated in a time- and concentration-dependent manner in response to brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in primary cultures of cortic ...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra is an attenuated tubercle bacillus closely related to the virulent type strain M. tuberculosis H37Rv. Despite extensive study, the reason for the decreased virulence of M. tuberculosis H37Ra has not been determined. A genom ...
We use multispeckle dynamic light scattering to measure the dynamic structure factor, f (q, τ), of gels formed by aggregation of colloids. Although the gel is an elastic solid, f (q, τ) nearly completely decays on long time scales, with an unusual form, f ...
The design and characterization of optical phantoms which have the same absorption and scattering characteristics as biological tissues in a broad spectral window (between 400 and 650 nm) are presented. These low cost phantoms use agarose dissolved in wate ...
GAD65, the smaller isoform of the γ-aminobutyric acid-synthesizing enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase is detected as an α/β doublet of distinct mobility on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) 65 is reversibly anchored ...

BACKGROUND: Chemical inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) have great therapeutic potential against various proliferative and neurodegenerative disorders. Olomoucine, a 2,6,9-trisubstituted purine, has been optimized for activity against CDK1/cycli ...
The intron-encoded endonuclease I-CeuI from Chlamydomonas eugametos was shown to cleave the circular chromosomes of all Clostridium perfringens strains examined at single sites in the rRNA operons, thereby generating ten fragments suitable for the rapid ma ...
Growing neurites are guided through their environment during development and regeneration via different cellular and extracellular matrix (ECM) molecular cues. To mimic cell-matrix interactions, a three-dimensional (3D) hydrogel-based ECM equivalent contai ...
The location of the cpe gene, encoding the enterotoxin responsible for food poisoning in humans, has been studied in a series of enterotoxigenic Clostridium perfringens strains by means of pulsed field gel electrophoresis of genomic DNA. The cpe gene was f ...
The ability to organize cells in three dimensions (3D) is an important component of tissue engineering. This study sought to develop an extracellular matrix (ECM) equivalent with a physicochemical structure capable of supporting neurite extension from prim ...
