Identification of expressed sequences in the coffee genome potentially associated with somatic embryogenesis
Authors: A.T. Silva, L.V. Paiva, A.C. Andrade and D. Barduche
Brazil possesses the most modern and productive coffee growing farms in the world, but technological development is desired to cope with the increasing world demand. One way to increase Brazilian coffee growing productivity is wide scale production of clones with superior genotypes, which can be obtained with in vitro propagation technique, or from tissue..

Microarray profiles of ex vivo expanded hematopoietic stem cells show induction of genes involved in noncanonical Wnt signaling
Authors: D.L. Zanette, J.C.C. Lorenzi, R.A. Panepucci, A.R.D. Santos, G.A. Molfetta, A.G. Araujo, W.A. Silva Junior and M.A. Zago
The low number of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in umbilical cord blood (UCB) is directly related to increased risk of transplant failure. Effective ex vivo expansion of HSC has been tried for many years, with conflicting results because of the inability to reproduce in vitro HSC proliferation in the same way it occurs in vivo. We compared freshly isolat.. Read More»

New polymorphic microsatellite loci of threadsail filefish, Stephanolepis cirrhifer (Teleostei, Monacanthidae), from Korean waters
Authors: C.-M. An, H.S. An, J.W. Lee and S.W. Hong
The threadsail filefish, Stephanolepis cirrhifer (Monacanthidae), is found mainly in the western Pacific. It is intensively caught in Korea and is a highly appreciated seafood delicacy. Consequently, the natural population of this species has drastically decreased, despite introductions from hatcheries. To provide information necessary for its conservatio.. Read More»

Identification and phylogenetic analysis of a sheep pox virus isolated from the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China
Authors: X.L. Zhu, F. Yang, H.X. Li, Y.X. Dou, X.L. Meng, H. Li, X.N. Luo and X.P. Cai
An outbreak of sheep pox was investigated in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in China. Through immunofluorescence testing, isolated viruses, polymerase chain reaction identification, and electron microscopic examination, the isolated strain was identified as a sheep pox virus. The virus was identified through sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the P3.. Read More»

Interaction between ALOX5AP-SG13S114A/T and COX-2-765G/C increases susceptibility to cerebral infarction in a Chinese population
Authors: X.Y. Yi, Q. Zhou, J. Lin, L.F. Chi and W.Z. Chi
We made a case-control study to investigate a possible association between ALOX5AP-SG13S114A/T, COX-2-765G/C, and COX-1-50C/T polymorphisms with cerebral infarction in a Chinese population. A total of 411 cases with cerebral infarction were included; 411 controls matched for age, gender, and risk factors were also selected. The ALOX5AP-SG13S114A/T (rs1050.. Read More»

Antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic effects of wheat bran in vivo
Authors: J.R. Pesarini, P.T. Zaninetti, M.O. Mauro, C.M. Carreira, J.B. Dichi, L.R. Ribeiro, M.S. Mantovani and R.J. Oliveira
Previous studies in rodents treated with the pro-carcinogen 1,2-dimethylhydrazine suggested that the consumption of wheat bran protected against DNA damage in the colon and rectum. Based on this information, we evaluated wheat bran as a functional food in the prevention and treatment of colon cancer. We used the aberrant crypt focus assay to evaluate the .. Read More»

KLK1 A1789G gene polymorphism and the risk of coronary artery stenosis in the Chinese population
Authors: Q.D. Li, F.J. Li, X.C. Liu and H. Jiang
Previous reports have shown that polymorphism of the human tissue kallikrein 1 (KLK1) A1789G gene is associated with susceptibility to hypertension. The current study aimed to confirm the association between the polymorphism in KLK1 and coronary artery stenosis (CAS). A total of 458 patients with CAS and 482 controls were used in a case-control study carr.. Read More»

Development and characterization of microsatellite loci for genetic studies of the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)
Authors: V.A.C. Pavinato, K.L. Silva-Brand�£o, M. Monteiro, M.I. Zucchi, J.B. Pinheiro, F.L.F. Dias and C. Omoto
We present polymorphic microsatellite markers isolated for genetic studies of the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius). We isolated 16 microsatellite loci through an enriched genomic library protocol. After characterization, 12 markers showed polymorphic information expressed in the observed number of alleles (ranging from 2 to 7; 5 on averag.. Read More»
