Clinical significance and expression of PUMA, MCL-1, and p53 in human renal cell carcinoma and para-carcinoma tissues
Authors: H.B. Xia, H.W. Cui, L. Su, Z.H. Zhang, X.Y. Yang, S.Q. Ning and X.L. Su
We investigated the expression level of p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA), myeloid cell leukemia-I (MCL-1), and p53 in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and para-carcinoma tissues, as well as their clinical significance. The expression levels of PUMA, MCL-1, and p53 in RCC and para-carcinoma tissues were measured using im.. Read More»

Variability among Capsicum baccatum accessions from Goi�¡s, Brazil, assessed by morphological traits and molecular markers
Authors: A.L.A. Martinez, J.S.P. Ara�ºjo, C.F. Ragassi, G.S.C. Buso and F.J.B. Reifschneider
Capsicum peppers are native to the Americas, with Brazil being a significant diversity center. Capsicum baccatum accessions at Instituto Federal (IF) Goiano represent a portion of the species genetic resources from central Brazil. We aimed to characterize a C. baccatum working collection comprising 27 accessions and 3 commerci.. Read More»

An optimized protocol for DNA extraction in plants with a high content of secondary metabolites, based on leaves of Mimosa tenuiflora (Willd.) Poir. (Leguminosae)
Authors: S.R. Arruda, D.G. Pereira, M.M. Silva-Castro, M.G. Brito and A.M. Waldschmidt
Some species are characterized by a high content of tannins, alkaloids, and phenols in their leaves. These secondary metabolites are released during DNA extraction and might hinder molecular studies based on PCR (polymerase chain reaction). To provide an efficient method to extract DNA, Mimosa tenuiflora, an important legumino.. Read More»

Association of endothelin-1 gene polymorphisms with essential hypertension in a Chinese population
Authors: Z. Fang, M. Li, Z. Ma and G. Tu
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is the most potent endogenous vasoconstrictor and is involved in several vascular disorders such as hypertension. Its strong interaction with other vasoactive hormone systems suggests that the ET-1 gene (EDN1) is a potential candidate molecule that influences the risk of developing hypertension. Recently, t..
