Implication of therapeutic cloning for organ transplantation [PDF]
Replacement of damaged myocardium with electrically functional, contracting syncytium with a balanced blood supply remains a key goal for the treatment of hearts damaged by coronary heart disease or other disorders. Stem cell therapy offers a potential solution.

Cloning, Genomic Organization, and Characterization of a Human Cholinephosphotransferase [PDF]
A cholinephosphotransferase activity catalyzes the final step in the de novo synthesis of phosphatidylcholine via the transfer of a phosphocholine moiety from CDP choline to diacylglycerol. Ethanolaminephosphotransferase activity catalyzes a similar reaction substituting CDP ethanolamine as the phosphobase donor.

Primary fibroblast cell cycle synchronization and effects on handmade cloned (HMC) bovine embryos
Spatial and temporal synchrony and compatibility between the receptor oocyte and the donor cell nucleus are necessary for the process of embryo cloning to allow nuclear reprogramming and early embryonic development. The objective of the present study was

Generating a custom TA-cloning expression plasmid for Lactococcus lactis
The growing popularity of the lactic acid bacterium Lactococcus lactis has increased demand for novel high-throughput cloning methods. Here we describe a general TA-cloning methodology and demonstrate its feasibility using the plasmid pNZ8148.

Module-based construction of plasmids for chromosomal integration of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
Integration of an external gene into a fission yeast chromosome is useful to investigate the effect of the gene product. An easy way to knock-in a gene construct is use of an integration plasmid, which can be targeted and inserted to a chromosome through
