Twenty Years of PSA: From Prostate Antigen to Tumor Marker

The measurement of prostate-specific antigen in serum is credited with dramatic advances in the early detection of men with prostatic carcinoma. This report summarizes the history of biochemical research and the current understanding and application of prostate-specific antigen in prostate cancer diagnostics.     

From Acta Botanica Sinica to JIPB:Connecting Chinese Plant Science with the International Community for 60 Years

<正>In 1952,when botany was still regarded as anew sciencein China,a quarterly journal named Acta Botanica Sinica(ABS) was established by the Botanical Society of China.Dr.Shih-Wei Loo received his Ph.D.from the California Institute of Technology(CIT)in 1945     

我随老公天山行

2001年5月老公冯刚在《人与生物圈》杂志、北京动物园、新疆乌鲁木齐市教委联合赞助下,在北京动物园成功举办了“冯刚新疆野生动物摄影展”。影展期间与江铃汽车集团副总裁赵卫东先生的巧遇,使做梦也没想到的一个神话降临在老公身上。赵卫东先生说:“我要送你一辆车!” 8月6日,一辆轻便、外型美观且性能极佳的“陆风”牌小型越野车开到了冯刚的单位——乌鲁木齐市第六中学。     

A Rewarding Fifteen Years: From SLG to SCR/SP11

Selfincompatibility (SI) is a major genetic mechanism to prevent selffertilization in flowering plants and, in most cases, controlled by a single multiallelic locus, known as the S locus. In Brassica, the genes mediating both stylar (SRK, S receptor kinase) and pollen (SCR/SP11, S locus cystein rich protein/S locus protein 11) expression of selfincompatible reaction have been characterized though the first S locus-encoded gene, SLG (S locus glycoprotein), was isolated nearly fifteen years ago. These findings have finally unveiled the molecular partners in pollen recognition during selfincompatible reaction in Brassica.
