Chromatin: Hanging on to histones

The core histones have long been known to have an important role in the packaging of DNA into nucleosomes. Today, nucleosome assembly is recognized as an integral component of both transcriptional activation and repression [1]. Transcriptional control is mediated through the assembly of extensive nucleoprotein structures containing both conventional transcription factors and architectural facto...

Hanging-associated out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in Melbourne, Australia.

INTRODUCTION Hanging is an infrequent but devastating cause of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). We determine the characteristics and outcomes of hanging-associated OHCA in Melbourne Australia. METHODS A 10-year retrospective case review of all adult hangings (aged ≥16 years) associated with OHCA, was conducted using data from the Victorian Ambulance Cardiac Arrest Registry. RESULTS Be...

Releasing the brakes while hanging on

Actin polymerization plays a major role in many cellular processes, including cell motility, vesicle trafficking, and pathogen propulsion. The transformation of the (protrusive) polymerization forces into directed motion requires that the growing filaments are positioned next to the surface. This is achieved by localization of surface actin nucleators (WASP), which then activate Arp2/3 complex ...

Hanging Drop Tissue Culture

The hanging drop tissue culture is a technique utilized in embryology [4] and other fields to allow growth that would otherwise be restricted by the flat plane of culture dishes and also to minimize the surface area to volume ratio, slowing evaporation. The classic hanging drop culture is a small drop of liquid, such as plasma or some other media allowing tissue growth, suspended from an invert...
