• Environmental significance of chiral persistent organic pollutants

  Enantioselectivity has been recognized in the fields of life science, pharmacology, modern medicine, and chemistry. The increasing release of chiral persistent organic pollutants (POPs) into the environment in recent decades has led to an increase in scientific research into their environmental beha more

• American biochemist to receive this year's Inhoffen Medal
  

  How do bacteria cope when exposed to toxic mercury, how are they able to outlast antibiotics, and how can they be killed using so-called "suicide inhibitors?" These are but a few of the many research topics US biochemist Christopher Walsh has devoted his career as a scientist to. Walsh will be honou more

• Promega and BASF develop alternative method on identifying allergenic substances

  Promega and BASF have jointly developed an alternative method to animal studies that can reliably detect the allergenic potential of substances. Using a newly developed cell line, the reaction of skin cells to allergenic substances can now be demonstrated in the test tube. Allergic skin reactions in more

• Trichostatin A Treatment of Cells Transfected with FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent
  

  Treatment of eukaryotic cells with trichostatin A (TSA) - a broad-spectrum inhibitor of histone deacetylation - is frequently used in studies of epigenetic regulation of gene expression. To be able to investigate the effects of TSA on promoter activity in reporter gene assays it is necessary to secure high transfection efficiency and low toxicity of the transfection reagent. In this study we tested transfection efficiency and toxicity of FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent in experiments with hepatoma cell line HepG2. We also established a protocol for TSA treatment that guarantees high cell survival and sufficient TSA effect more

• Altered Expression of Broad Range of Protease Genes in SH-SY5Y Neuroblastoma Cells after Bortezomib Exposure
  

  Neuroblastoma cell lines can be models for the responsiveness of neuroblastomas to chemotherapy-induced cell death as well as for the sensitivity of untransformed neuro-nal cells to toxic side-effects of chemotherapy. Both phenom-ena are relevant to neuroblastoma cells exposed to bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor in clinical use. It has been shown previously that neuroblastoma cell lines are prone to undergo apoptosis when treated with bortezomib, but the precise molecular mechanism has not been revealed. In addition to this, peripheral neuropathy is the main side effect of chemotherapy that includes bortezomib more

• Effects of Passage Number on Cell Line Transfection
  

  An important factor in the success of any transfection experiment is the quality of the cells. As a key experimental component, the cell line can be the factor with the highest variability, affecting the reliability and reproducibility of results. more

  Assays for quantification, and methods for removal, of anti-A and anti-B antibodies are the key for the success of ABO incompatible organ transplantation programs. In order to produce tools that can be used as substrates in tests for anti-A/anti-B quantification and specificity determination or as more

• A non-enzymatic function of Golgi glycosyltransferases: Mediation of Golgi fragmentation by interaction with non-muscle myosin IIA

  The Golgi apparatus undergoes morphological changes under stress or malignant transformation, but the precise mechanisms are not known. We recently showed that non-muscle myosin IIA (NMIIA) binds to the cytoplasmic tail of Core 2 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase mucus-type (C2GnT-M) and transports i more

• Coevolution and Life Cycle Specialization of Plant Cell Wall Degrading Enzymes in a Hemibiotrophic Pathogen

  Zymoseptoria tritici is an important fungal pathogen on wheat that originated in the Fertile Crescent. Its closely related sister species Z. pseudotritici and Z. ardabiliae infect wild grasses in the same region. This recently emerged host–pathogen system provides a rare opportunity to investigate more
