Calculating RNA degradation rates using large-scale normalization in mouse embryonic stem cells
Summary: Data normalization is critical to the process of estimating RNA degradation by analyzing RNA levels when transcription is blocked. Here, we present a protocol for measuring mRNA degradation rates, optimized for mouse embryonic stem cells, using ...

Cyclosporine as a novel treatment for amatoxin-containing mushroom poisoning: a case series
Ingestion of amatoxin-containing mushrooms can lead to fulminant hepatotoxicity and death. Despite recent interest in therapeutic options for amatoxin-exposed patients, there is no single, recommended treatment for amatoxin poisoning. Alpha-amanitin, the

MiR-1 Is Regulated by Hydrogen Peroxide via MAPK and Limits Cell Migration and Invasion. [PDF]
ABSTRACT MicroRNA‐1 (miR‐1) is a conserved microRNA that is highly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues. Moreover, miR‐1 regulates genes and has critical roles in cell migration and invasion. Downregulation of miR‐1 has been found in many pathologies of numerous organs, including the lungs.

Affinity isolation of RNA polymerase II on amanitin-Sepharose [PDF]
We report here the first case of an affinity isolation of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II. The procedure employs an affinity matrix composed of [alpha]-amanitin coupled to Sepharose 4B via a ten atom spacer.
