Talisman--rapid application development for the grid

In order to make use of the emerging grid and network services offered by various institutes and mandated by many current research projects, some kind of user accessible client is required. In contrast with attempts to build generic workbenches, Talisman is designed to allow a bioinformatics expert to rapidly build custom applications, immediately visible using standard web technology, for users who wish to concentrate on the biology of their problem rather than the informatics aspects. As a component of the MyGrid project, it is intended to allow access to arbitrary resources, including but not limited to relational, object and flat file data sources, analysis programs and grid based storage, tracking and distributed annotation systems.     

类器官的应用研究进展

类器官是利用干细胞的自我更新和分化能力,在体外培养形成的一种微小组织器官类似物,在很大程度上具有体内相应器官的功能。迄今为止,在3D培养条件下,已经成功培养出多种类器官如肺、胃、肠、肝和肾等类器官。它们不仅可作为组织器官的替代品用于药物和临床研究,还可用于体内器官移植。本文综述了类器官在药物毒性检测、药效评价和新药筛选中的作用以及利用类器官建立疾病模型、研究组织器官发育和类器官在精准医疗、再生医学中的价值。

iPS在临床应用的新进展

诱导性多潜能干细胞,即iPS细胞,是近年来干细胞领域最令人瞩目的一项新的干细胞制造技术,这个技术通过特定的基因组合与转染可以将已分化的体细胞诱导重编程为未分化的多能细胞.与胚胎干细胞(ES)不同,iPS细胞的制造不需要胚胎组织,也不涉及伦理学问题,更重要的是制备iPS细胞可以采用病人自己的体细胞制备,避免免疫排斥反应,并且来源广泛,因此给再生医学实践于临床带来了新的曙光.目前,iPS的研究尚处于初级阶段,本文就iPS的研究现状与已有在临床应用相关的实验报道作以综述.     

Practical issues in the application of oxygenases

Oxygenases carry out the regio-, stereo- and chemoselective introduction of oxygen in a tremendous range of organic molecules. This versatility has already been exploited in several commercial processes. There are, however, many hurdles to further practical large-scale applications. Here, we review various issues in biocatalysis using these enzymes, such as screening strategies, overoxidation, uncoupling, substrate uptake, substrate toxicity, and oxygen mass transfer. By addressing these issues in a systematic way, the productivity of promising laboratory scale biotransformations involving oxygenases may be improved to levels that allow industry to realise the full commercial potential of these enzymes.     

AFLP标记及在植物中的应用

ＡＦＬＰ是 1 992年由荷兰Ｋｅｙｇｅｎｅ公司Ｚａｂｅａｕ、Ｖｏｓ在ＰＣＲ和ＲＦＬＰ的基础上发展起来的一种检测ＤＮＡ多态性的新方法[1] ,并于1 993年获得欧洲专利局专利。与ＲＦＬＰ类似 ,ＡＦＬＰ也是通过限制性内切酶片段的不同长度检测ＤＮＡ多态性的一种ＤＮＡ分子标记技术。由于ＲＦＬＰ是以传统的Ｓｏｕｔｈｅｒｎ杂交为基础的 ,操作繁琐 ,对ＤＮＡ多态性的检出的灵敏度不高 ,在连锁图上有很多大的空间区。随着ＰＣＲ技术广泛应用 ,对分子标记技术的发展产生了巨大的推动作用。除了ＲＦＬＰ(限制性内切酶酶切片段长度多态性标记 …

On the application of microdosimetry to radiobiology

The pertinence of proportional counter microdosimetry to radiobiology rests on the idea of the site model; in view of the current emphasis on formalisms based on the distance model, it would appear that the role of experimental microdosimetry as a predictive tool is compromised. In this paper we challenge this opinion. It is shown that, to the extent that the site model is not only limited to convex sites of simple geometry, (a) the site model and the distance model become only complementary aspects (i.e., two possible interpretations) of the same formalism, and current biophysical theory is not equipped to discriminate, based on experimental evidence, between the two; (b) proportional counter microdosimetry retains its validity; and (c) for any cellular system [characterized by a function gamma(chi)] the ratio alpha/beta between the linear and quadratic components of the dose-response function can be calculated as a weighted sum of dose-averaged specific energies measured in a series of spherical sites (of different dimensions). An algorithm is provided for calculating the weighting factors.

Notes on the application of microwaves in histopathology

Summary In this article two applications of microwaves in histopathology, microwave-stimulated staining of tissue sections and microwave-stimulated fixation of cryostat sections, are reviewed. For a good understanding of the influence of microwaves on physico-chemical processes like staining and fixation the relevant physics are included. Major advantages of microwave techniques are speed and/or improved quality. The cryostat-microwave technique appears to be well-suited for the demonstration of intermediate filament proteins: the sensitivity of monoclonal antibodies directed against keratins and vimentin can be substantially increased using the ethanol based fixative Kryofix.
