Cell Timer/Cell Clock
Like the biological clock in the body, replication of each cell type (even different cells of the same organism) follows a timing program. Abnormal function of this timer could be an alarm for a disease like cancer. DNA replication starts from a specific point on the chromosome that is called the origin of replication. In contrast to prokaryotes in which DNA replication starts from a single ...
متن کاملBuilding social support systems through a babysitting exchange program.
The process of developing a babysitting exchange program is described. There was a steady increase in use of the exchange as women formed small groups and compatible pairs. About half the participants indicated that they found the exchange useful and would continue to use it. Participation was not found to have a differential impact on high-stressed and low-stressed mothers. Implications for th...
متن کاملvLibOS: Babysitting OS Evolution with a Virtualized Library OS
Many applications have service requirements that are not easily met by existing operating systems. Real-time and security-critical tasks, for example, often require custom OSes to meet their needs. However, development of special purpose OSes is a time-consuming and difficult exercise. Drivers, libraries and applications have to be written from scratch or ported from existing sources. Many rese...
متن کاملA CLOCK-less clock.
Mammalian physiology is governed by a complex circadian timing system that involves interacting positive and negative transcriptional feedback loops. A key role in this feedback loop was attributed to the PAS domain helix-loop-helix protein CLOCK, on the basis of a dominant-negative mutation in this transcription factor. However, recent experiments by Reppert and coworkers with Clock knockout m...
متن کاملGABA Synchronizes Clock Cells within the Suprachiasmatic Circadian Clock
The master clock in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) is composed of multiple, single-cell circadian clocks. We test the postulate that these individual "clock cells" can be synchronized to each other by the inhibitory transmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). For these experiments, we monitored the firing rate rhythm of individual clock cells on fixed multielectrode plates in culture and test...
