Nuclear protein phosphatases with Kelch-repeat domains modulate the response to brassinosteroids in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Perception of the plant steroid hormone brassinolide (BL) by the membrane-associated receptor kinase BRI1 triggers the dephosphorylation and accumulation in the nucleus of the transcriptional modulators BES1 and BZR1.

BRL1 and BRL3 are novel brassinosteroid receptors that function in vascular differentiation in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Plant steroid hormones, brassinosteroids (BRs), are perceived by the plasma membrane-localized leucine-rich-repeat-receptor kinase BRI1. Based on sequence similarity, we have identified three members of the BRI1 family, named BRL1, BRL2 and BRL3.

Robotics in the medical laboratory
Abstract Robotic systems specifically designed for the automation of laboratory tasks are now available commercially. Equipped with computer, analytical hardware, and supporting software, these devices may soon revolutionize the concept of the clinical laboratory and usher in a new era in laboratory testing. We review the types of robots

Comparison of the cost‐effectiveness of a computer‐assisted learning program with a tutored demonstration to teach intestinal motility to medical students [PDF]
Computer‐based simulations of undergraduate experiments in pharmacology and physiology may offer a cost‐effective alternative to the traditional live laboratory for some students, for whom laboratory skills are less important.

Analysis of inappropriate repeated laboratory testing
Laboratory services are an important part of the healthcare system. However many requested tests may be considered inappropriate or unnecessary. We evaluated laboratory use in a period of 3 years in terms of the inappropriate test repeats.
