inhibition of Type I Interferons‚ including IFN-α‚ may provide a therapeutic benefit for autoimmune diseases. Using a chemical genomics approach integrated with cellular and in vivo assays‚ we screened a small compound library to identify modulators of IFN-α biological effects. A genomic fingerprint was developed from both ex vivo patient genomic information and in vitro gene modulation from IFN-α cell-based stimulation. A high throughput genomic-based screen then was applied to prioritize 268 small

Influenza virus is one of the well-explored the pathogens and development of flu vaccine is considered as the most efficient strategy to defense the outbreak. However‚ the variability of the antigen and rapid reassortant of the genetic segments weakens flu vaccine effectiveness. And the protection of flu vaccine could not contribute to clinical treatment when the patients suffer from severe illness. Therefore‚ the study of the interaction between pathogen and host immune response is needed. The Hannover

Are genetically modified foods safe to eat? Nowadays‚ genetically modified crops are planted worldwide. According to Human Genome Project‚ over 10 million farmers in 22 countries are planting genetically modified crops on the fields. The total acreage has reached a quarter billion (2011). Apparently‚ genetically modified foods have prominent benefits so that more and more people are planting them and eating them. Genetically modified plants are able to resist pests and certain kinds of diseases

lo mismo‚ dos modalidades de movimiento: cuantitativa y cualitativa. El mundo entero está envuelto en el aire como en su propia alma. La misma alma humana‚ fundida en el alma del mundo‚ es también aire. De esta manera concibió el mundo como un ser vivo‚ análogamente a como concebía el alma de los hombres: «De la misma manera que nuestra alma‚ que es aire‚ nos sostiene‚ igualmente un soplo y el aire envuelven el mundo entero.» En su concepción‚ la Tierra es plana y flota‚ pero no ya sobre el agua

visible radiations with higher energy via a nonlinear optical process. Recently‚ these UCNPs have evolved as alternative fluorescent labels to traditional fluorophores‚ showing great potential for imaging and biodetection assays in both in vitro and in vivo applications. UCNPs exhibit unique luminescent properties‚ including high penetration depth into tissues‚ low background signals‚ large Stokes shifts‚ sharp emission bands‚ and high resistance to photobleaching‚ making UCNPs an attractive alternative
