Gene Expression and the Physiological Role of Transforming Growth Factor-α in the Mouse Pituitary [PDF]
Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family, is produced within the mouse anterior pituitaries. However, the cell types of TGF-alpha-expressing cells and the physiological roles of TGF-a within mouse

Quantitative mRNA expression measurement at home
AbstractmRNA measurement is dominated by RT-PCR, which requires expensive laboratory equipment and personnel with advanced degrees. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a versatile technique for detecting target DNA and RNA. The sensitivity of LAMP in early reports has been below that of the standard RT-PCR tests. Here, we report the use of

Factors determining in vitro survival of human multiple myeloma cells
In this work, we investigated the survival of the human MM cell lines, i.e. RPMI1640, RPMI8226, and IM9, depending on the degree of their differentiation and impact of exogenous IGF-1.

The Stargazin-Related Protein {gamma}7 Interacts with the mRNA-Binding Protein Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein A2 and Regulates the Stability of Specific mRNAs, Including CaV2.2 [PDF]
The role(s) of the novel stargazin-like {gamma}-subunit proteins remain controversial. We have shown previously that the neuron-specific {gamma}7 suppresses the expression of certain calcium channels, particularly CaV2.2, and is therefore unlikely to ...

Adverse prognostic and predictive significance of low DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) expression in early-stage breast cancers [PDF]
Background: DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs), a serine threonine kinase belonging to the PIKK family (phosphoinositide 3-kinase-like-family of protein kinase), is a critical component of the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ ...

Gene Regulation through mRNA Expression
In eukaryotes, gene expression is achieved by four steps: transcription, processing, nuclear export, and translation. Each step requires multiple factors, and frequently two or more pathways are used by a single gene, enabling strictly regulated gene expression.
