Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) isoforms,including Cav-1α and Cav-1β,were identified as integral membrane proteins and the major components of caveolae.Cav-1 proteins are
Cyanobacteria possess multiple,functionally distinct NADPH dehydrogenase (NDH-1) complexes.In this mini-review,we describe the cyanobacterial NDH-1 complexes by
The model at the basis of trajectory analysis is conceptually simple.When applied to time series vegetation data,the projectile becomes a surrogate for vegetati
During embryo development in many metazoan animals,the first differentiated cell type to form is an epithelial cell.This epithelial layer is modified by develop
The introduction of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells has been a milestone in the field of regenerative medicine and drug discovery. iPS cells can provide a
Polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) technique was employed to examine the seasonal dynamic changes in bacterial communi
维生素A(vitamin A,VA)又名视黄醇,是人体和动物必需的13种维生素之一,在人体中可以维持视力并且促进骨骼生长。人类所需的VA主要通过日常饮食来获得,食物中缺乏VA将直接影响人类的身体健康。玉米作为三大粮食作物之一,是很多国家和地区的主食,因此,提高玉米中VA原的含量是保证该地区人民健康的重要前提。2010年,Yan等通过对玉米中类胡萝卜素的生物合成途径及其相关基因的研究,发现β羟化酶基
MicroRNAs are 21-to 24-nucleotide long, endogenous non-coding RNAs in eukaryotes (Hannon, 2002). Mature microRNAs generated by Dicer are incorporated into an RN
This article uses a real-life example to illustrate the concept and methodology of recombineering,a revolutionary genetic engineering technique based on phage-m
Forest fires frequently occur in boreal forests,and their effects on forest ecosystems are often significant in terms of carbon flux related to climate changes.
