Published: April 2010

A target bacterial strain of interest for use in Red-based recombineering may already encode resistance to antibiotic markers used with current Red recombination tools such that the resistance cannot be removed. Such cases include those where markers are needed to maintain an unstable genetic element co-resident in the strain or those where the genetic source of resistance is not known. We report the availability of PCR templates with FRT-flanked mutagenesis cassettes and plasmids encoding Red recombination functions that contain marker combinations not currently available on widely disseminated lambda Red molecular reagents. The functionality of these convenient alternative tools is demonstrated.

Micro light-emitting diodes (µLEDs), crucial for advanced displays and communication systems, face efficiency challenges due to sidewall defects. This study investigates the impact of various passivation layers, including SiO, AlO, and HfO, on AlGaInP-based 620 nm red µLEDs. We fabricated devices with two mesa sizes and demonstrated that atomic layer deposition (ALD) passivation, especially with HfO, significantly enhances performance.

Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) remains a major cause of death and morbidity. Klotho is a well-known anti-ageing factor with relevant cardioprotective actions, at least when renal dysfunction is present, but its actions are much less known when renal function is preserved. This study investigated Klotho as a biomarker and potential novel treatment of IHD-associated complications after myocardial infarction (MI) under preserved renal function.

Objective: Asiaticoside has the capacity to induce osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) through Wnt (Wingless-related integration site) signaling. A modified chemical structure (by removing glycoside side chain), referred to as asiatic acid methyl ester (AA1), has been constructed and evaluated for its capacity to induce osteogenic differentiation.

Design: hPDLCs viability was determined by MTT assay.

Purpose: Prophylaxis with recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) products is the gold-standard treatment for hemophilia A. However, interindividual differences affect the half-life and clearance of rFVIII products. The myPKFiT is a web-based medical-device software program for population pharmacokinetic (PK) simulation of FVIII products to guide accurate FVIII doses and dosing intervals.
