Article Synopsis
- Light is crucial for resetting the circadian clock in organisms, with a focus on Chlamydomonas, where the degradation of the protein ROC15 plays a key role.
- Researchers identified a mutant strain that struggles with ROC15 degradation and phosphorylation in response to various light wavelengths, indicating that these signals might converge before affecting ROC15.
- Although the mutant has altered phase resetting due to light, its overall circadian rhythms remain stable under constant light or darkness, highlighting the complexity of light signaling in the circadian clock of Chlamydomonas.
The circadian clocks in chlorophyte algae have been studied in two model organisms, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Ostreococcus tauri. These studies revealed that the chlorophyte clocks include some genes that are homologous to those of the angiosperm circadian clock. However, the genetic network architectures of the chlorophyte clocks are largely unknown, especially in C.

Materials And Methods: Eighty cylindrical composite specimens were prepared using posterior composite P60(3M). Forty specimens, out of which 20 samples (group A) cured with halogen light and 20 samples (group B) cured using light emitting diode (LED) light were checked for curing depth according to ISO 4049.
Fluoride releasing and uptake capacities of esthetic restorations.

September 2013
Background And Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare in vitro the fuoride release and uptake from 5 different esthetic restorative materials.
Materials And Methods: Materials tested were conventional GIC - Fuji 7, GC (group1), resin modifed GIC - Vitremer, 3M ESPE (group 2), polyacid modifed composite - Dyract, Dentsply (group 3), fuoride releasing composite - Tetric ceram, Ivoclar Vivadent (group 4), Giomer-Beautifl, Shofu (group 5). Fluoride release was estimated at 6th, 24th, 48th hour and weekly interval for 5 weeks.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the possibility of using fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) as a primary diagnostic test in oral leukoplakia and squamous cell carcinoma.
Materials And Methods: This study consisted of clinically diagnosed 15 cases of leukoplakia and 15 cases of oral squamous cell carcinomas. FNAC and biopsy were done on all the cases.
