Identifying Chromosome Movement Patterns During Meiosis Using ChroMo.

During meiosis, transient associations between the nuclear envelope and telomeres transmit nuclear movements to chromosomes, enabling their pairing and recombination. Recent advances in the field of quantitative cell biology allow a large volume of information about the kinetics of these chromosome movements to be extracted and analyzed with the aim of identifying biologically relevant movement patterns. To this end, we have developed ChroMo, a freely available application for the unsupervised study of chromosome movements in fission yeast meiosis.

Electroencephalographic profile of Salvia amarissima Ortega and amarisolide A in the absence and presence of PTZ-induced seizures in mice.

Salvia amarissima Ortega is a plant used in traditional medicine to treat CNS's affections. Despite its depressant properties in anxiety and fibromyalgia, there is no scientific evidence about its capability to control seizure activity. This study aimed to investigate the effects of the S.
