• The Trap Snaps Shut

  The Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant luring insect prey with drops of liquid. The trap snaps shut like a steel jaw when an insect touches one of the very fine hairs within. The prey is caught – digestion begins. Minoru Ueda and a research team from the Universities of Tohoku, Hirosaki, and Hiros more

• Gene identified for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy

  A mutation in a brain protein gene may trigger irregular heart beat and sudden death in people with epilepsy, according to new research in The Journal of Neuroscience. People with epilepsy who are otherwise healthy are more than 10 times more likely to die suddenly and unexpectedly than the general more

• Mayo researchers find obesity key

  Mayo researchers collaborating with investigators at the University of Iowa, University of Connecticut and New York University (NYU) have discovered a molecular mechanism that controls energy expenditure in muscles and helps determine body weight. Researchers say this could lead to a new medical app more

• Predictor(TM) hERG Fluorescence Polarization Assay Kit performed on the PHERAstar/PHERAstar Plus
  

  The potential for cardiotoxic side-effects continues to challenge the development of small molecule based therapies. These intolerable side-effects are often precipitated by drug-induced long QT syndrome (LQT), which is often linked to blocking the human ether-a-go-go related gene (hERG) potassium channel. Although patch-clamp electrophysiology remains the gold standard for determining the interaction of compounds with the function of the hERG channel, radioligand displacement assays have proven to be a cost-effective initial alternative assay for hERG channel liability at early stages of compound development. more

• Optimization of Transfection Efficiency in Chick Embryo Hepatocytes and HepG2 Cells
  

  Cell and molecular biology studies have been facilitated by transfection, a technology that can deliver material like DNA, RNA, and protein into cells. However, there are multiple reagents on the market, and a careful study must be perform­ed in order to find a suitable technique for your particular cellular system. One of the most effective re-agents that was available on the market in the early 90's was DOTMA (N-[1-(2,3-dioleyloxy)propyl]-N,N,N-tri-methylammonium chloride). more

• Behavioural and functional characterization of Kv10.1 (Eag1) knockout mice

  Kv10.1 (Eag1), member of the Kv10 family of voltage-gated potassium channels, is preferentially expressed in adult brain. The aim of the present study was to unravel the functional role of Kv10.1 in the brain by generating knockout mice, where the voltage sensor and pore region of Kv10.1 were remov more

• Neuropsychological course of voltage‐gated potassium channel and glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody related limbic encephalitis

  Background and purpose Autoantibodies (abs) to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and to voltage‐gated potassium channels (VGKC) induce distinct courses of limbic encephalitis, related to MRI findings, seizure outcome and cognition. Methods A detailed analysis of the cognitive course of th more
