An instrument has been developed for the automation of enzymatic DNA sequencing reactions. Up to 96 DNA templates contained in a microtiter plate can be processed for either radioactive or fluorescence-based sequence analysis in a three-hour period. The quality of the resultant data is comparable to that obtained manually. The system is simple, flexible and is readily adapted to the use of new polymerases or modified experimental protocols.

The current study aimed to assess the preventive effects of aqueous leaf extract of Pistacia lentiscus (ALEPL) against Oxaliplatin (OXA)-induced DNA damage, hepatic injury, and oxidative stress. The in vitro cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of OXA and ALEPL on HCT116 colon cancer cells were evaluated using the MTT (Tetrazolium salt reduction) assay and comet assay. The in vivo study involved 24 female NMRI (Naval Medical Research Institute) mice that were equally divided into four groups as follows: Control group, ALEPL-treated group (100 mg/kg), OXA-treated group (7 mg/kg), and ALEPL-treated group (100mg/kg) + OXA (7mg/kg).

DNA is considered as an ideal supramolecular material for information storage with high storage density and long-term stability. Enzymes, as green and sustainable tools, offer several unique advantages for DNA-based information storage. These advantages include low cost and reduced generation of hazardous wastes during DNA synthesis, as well as the improvements in data reading speed and data recovery accuracy.

Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1), a crucial enzyme in DNA synthesis, is highly expressed in various cancers. However, the mechanisms underlying its elevated expression and the implications for tumor metabolism remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that activation of growth factor receptors enhances TK1 expression.

Background: Infertility is a special reproductive health defect. For women, congenital uterine malformations, extensive adhesions in the uterine cavity, and hysterectomy are associated with infertility. Uterine transplantation is technically feasible, but its clinical application and development are limited by donor shortages and immune rejection.
