β-Hydroxy β-methylbutyric acid (HMB), or β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate, is a metabolite of the essential amino acid leucine and is synthesized in the human body. Its part in protein synthesis was disc...
Glaucoma is a term describing a group of ocular (eye) disorders that result in optic nerve damage, often associated with increased fluid pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure) (IOP).[1] The dis...
Calpastatin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CAST gene.[1][2][3][4] The protein encoded by this gene is an endogenous calpain (calcium-dependent cysteine protease) inhibitor. It con...
The soybean (US) or soya bean (UK, AU) (Glycine max)[2] is a species of legume native to East Asia, widely grown for its edible bean which has numerous uses. The plant is classed as an oilseed rath...
Porcine circovirus (PCV) is a single-stranded DNA virus (class II), that is nonenveloped with an unsegmented circular genome.[1] The viral capsid is icosahedral and approximately 17 nm in diameter....
The process of finding a new drug against a chosen target for a particular disease usually involves high-throughput screening (HTS), wherein large libraries of chemicals are tested for their abilit...
A number of methods are available to transfer DNA into plant cells. Some vector mediated methods are: Agrobacterium mediated transformation is the easiest and most simple plant transformation. P...

Neuregulin 1 or NRG1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NRG1 gene.[1][2] NRG1 is one of four proteins in the neuregulin family that act on the EGFR family of receptors. Neuregulin 1 is p...
A carbohydrate is a biological molecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen:oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water); in other words, with the empiric...
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a small virus which infects humans and some other primate species. AAV is not currently known to cause disease. The virus causes a very mild immune response, lending...
Immunostimulatory oligonucleotides
Antimicrobial peptides (also called host defense peptides) are part of the innate immune response and are found among all classes of life. Fundamental differences exist between prokaryotic and euka...
Sample analysis by detecting absorption
Acid-Sensing Ion Channels (ASICs) are neuronal voltage-insensitive cationic channels activated by extracellular protons. ASIC proteins are a subfamily of the ENaC/Deg superfamily of ion channels. T...
