The use of Multiple Displacement Amplification to increase the detection and genotyping of Trypanosoma samples immobilised on FTA filters. [PDF]

, 2007
Whole genome amplification methods are a recently developed tool for amplifying DNA from limited template. We report its application in trypanosome infections, characterized by low parasitemias.

Gene amplification and insecticide resistance

, 2011
Pesticide resistance in arthropods has been shown to evolve by two main mechanisms, the enhanced production of metabolic enzymes, which bind to and/or detoxify the pesticide, and mutation of the target protein, which makes it less sensitive to the ...

Using detergent to enhance detection sensitivity of African trypanosomes in human CSF and blood by Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) [PDF]

, 2011
<p><b>Background:</b> The loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay, with its advantages of simplicity, rapidity and cost effectiveness, has evolved as one of the most sensitive and specific methods for the detection of a ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

On the origin of non-specific binders isolated in the selection of phage display peptide libraries

Frontiers in Microbiology
Over the recent decades, phage display has been used successfully to identify a variety of peptides with diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Despite the significant role of this technology in the pharmaceutical industry, the affinity selection of ...

Addition of optional sign language in optometry schools for improved eye care for the deaf

African Vision and Eye Health, 2018
Background: Often, a deaf patient walks into an optometrist’s practice seeking help with his/her eyes. There is a high likelihood that poor communication between patient and healthcare professional will influence the final product dispensed.

Polymerase-endonuclease amplification reaction for large-scale enzymatic production of antisense oligonucleotide

, 2009
Synthetic oligonucleotides are contaminated with highly homologous failure sequences. Oligonucleotide synthesis is difficult to scale up because it requires expensive equipments, hazardous chemicals, and tedious purification process.

Thalamic amplification of cortical connectivity sustains attentional control

Nature, 2017
Although interactions between the thalamus and cortex are critical for cognitive function, the exact contribution of the thalamus to these interactions remains unclear.

PARK(ing) time–How park deficiency affects the biological clock in a Drosophila model of Parkinson's disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Drosophila park mutants serve as a model for Parkinson's disease. We used this strain to investigate the connection between oxidative stress and the circadian clock mechanism. We showed that increased oxidative stress affects the physiology of pacemaker cells, disrupting their daily structural plasticity. Lack of rhythmic signaling from pacemaker cells

Pathways to transformation: institutionalizing urban agriculture in a Montréal borough

Ecology and Society
Around the world, cities and their residents are experimenting with innovations for social and ecological sustainability, sowing the seeds of good Anthropocenes. Although such seed initiatives tend to operate at society’s margins, some successfully embed
