Does DNA extraction affect the specificity of a PCR method claiming the specific detectability of a genome-edited plant?

Under current EU legislation, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and derived food and feed products must be authorized as GM food, feed, or seed and appropriate detection methods must be made available for use in official controls. A Real-Time PCR method has recently been published by Chhalliyil et al. claiming to be specific for the detection and identification of genome-edited oilseed rape (OSR) lines commercialized in North America.

Selective MyD88-dependent pathway inhibition by the cyanobacterial natural product malyngamide F acetate.

In response to evolutionary selective pressure, prokaryotes have developed a rich array of secondary metabolites, some of which may be inhibitory to the innate immune system and the inflammatory response in vertebrates. We utilized the RAW264.7 macrophage cell line stimulated with LPS in a nitric oxide (NO) assay to screen for compounds with immunomodulatory activities from a library of marine natural products, and found that the malyngamide structure class, found commonly in the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula, has potent activity.

[Traumatic splenic rupture--fatal increase in thrombocytes after splenectomy].

A patient with CMGM developed after traumatic splenectomy a severe thrombocytosis up to 4 millions. 25 days after the accident he died of acute right heart failure caused by vascular occlusion of lung vessels due to thrombocyte aggregations. According to the regulations of professional cooperatives in Germany the death is caused by the occupational accident.

[Accidental death in advanced age].

In 1989 accidental death of 72 persons with an age of at least 60 years were determined at the Institute for Legal Medicine in Hamburg. 41 of them (57%) died by traffic accident. In those cases 18 of them died from pneumonia or embolism of lung as a result to be laid low.
