• Ronin recruits protein 'allies' to sustain embryonic stem cell growth

  Ronin, crucial to the self-renewal of embryonic stem cells, and a co-regulator called Hcf-1, binds to a small strand of DNA called a hyperconserved enhancer element to control a gene "program" that stimulates growth of the stem cells and may even play a role in cancer, said a group of researchers le more

• Real-Time PCR Quality Control for Gene Expression
  

  Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) has become the de facto standard for nucleic acid quantification. This achievement is due in large part to its sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, large dynamic range of linear quantification, and its speed. The qPCR technology has matured to a ready-to-use commonly available method in most molecular biology laboratories. Nevertheless, the reliability of the final quantification result depends heavily on all elements in the workflow, such as the quality of the input template (integrity and absence of inhibitors), the PCR assay (specificity, efficiency, limit of detection), and normalization strategy (validated reference genes). more

• Atrial fibrillation in young stroke patients: do we underestimate its prevalence?

  Background and purpose The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in young stroke patients has rarely been reported and is considered an uncommon ischaemic stroke (IS) aetiology. Our objective was to analyse the prevalence of AF in IS patients up to 50 years of age and its relationship with stro more

• Profilin 1: do we have a novel proteome‐found biomarker predicting response to anti‐cancer therapy?

  About three decades ago, profilin 1 was described as a 15 kDa small protein. It was later shown that profilin 1 is a tumor suppressor in human carcinomas. Recent proteome based data additionally demonstrated that the levels of profilin 1 expression could help to predict malignant tumor aggressiven more

• What Do We (Need to) Know About the Melatonin in Crustaceans?

  ABSTRACT Melatonin (N‐acetyl‐5‐methoxy‐tryptamine) was first discovered from the bovine pineal gland extract in 1958. Since then, its synthesis, metabolism, physiological, and patho‐physiological functions are well studied in vertebrates; there is an increasing recognition of melatonin in inver more
