Site-directed mutagenesis is a molecular biology method that is used to make specific and intentional changes to the DNA sequence of a gene and any gene products. Also called site-specific mutagene...
In cytology, a precursor cell, also called a blast cell or simply blast, is a type of partially differentiated, usually unipotent cell that has lost most or all of the stem cell multipotency. Us...
Phenotype cloning
Endoplasmic-reticulum-associated protein degradation (ERAD) designates a cellular pathway which targets misfolded proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation...
Oscillatory activity measurement
Gravimetry is the measurement of the strength of a gravitational field. Gravimetry may be used when either the magnitude of gravitational field or the properties of matter responsible for its creat...
The gustatory system is the sensory system for the sense of taste. The gustatory system allows humans to distinguish between safe and harmful food. Bitter and sour foods we find unpleasant, while ...
A brain tumor or intracranial neoplasm occurs when abnormal cells form within the brain.[1] There are two main types of tumors: malignant or cancerous tumors and benign tumors.[1] Cancerous tumors ...
Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the Borrelia type.[1] The most common sign of infection is an expanding area of redness, known as erythe...
Survivin is known to be highly expressed in most tumour cell types and absent in normal cells, making it a good target for cancer therapy.[15][16][17][18][19] The exploitation of survivin's over-ac...
Ankyrins are a family of adaptor proteins that mediate the attachment of integral membrane proteins to the spectrin-actin based membrane cytoskeleton.[2] Ankyrins have binding sites for the beta su...
Binuclear iron catalysts
Granulocytes are a category of white blood cells characterized by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm.[1] They are also called polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN, PML, or PMNL) because of th...
In enzymology, a lysine-tRNA ligase (EC 6.1.1.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction ATP + L-lysine + tRNALys \rightleftharpoons AMP + diphosphate + L-lysyl-tRNALys The 3 substrat...
Survivin, also called baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis repeat-containing 5 or BIRC5, is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the BIRC5 gene.[1][2] NCBI Reference Sequence: NG_029069.1 Surv...
Interleukin 11 (IL-11) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL11 gene.[1] IL-11 is a multifunctional cytokine first isolated in 1990 from bone marrow-derived stromal cells. It is a key ...
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a small virus that infects humans and some other primate species. AAV is not currently known to cause disease and consequently the virus causes a very mild immune re...
Molecular scale electronics, also called single molecule electronics, is a branch of nanotechnology that uses single molecules, or nanoscale collections of single molecules, as electronic component...
Reducing the complexity of DNA sequences
Semiconductor lasers are diodes which are electrically pumped. Recombination of electrons and holes created by the applied current introduces optical gain. Reflection from the ends of the crystal f...
