Ultrasound-responsive polymer-coated microbubbles that bind and protect DNA.
Ultrasound in combination with microbubbles has recently been considered by gene delivery scientists to be an interesting approach to enhance gene transfer into cells. Its low toxicity and simplicity to apply in vivo without major complications make this technology (sonoporation) especially attractive. Sonoporation of DNA has been evaluated in vivo by the injection of free plasmid DNA (pDNA) to...
متن کاملIntravascular fluorocarbon-stabilized microbubbles protect against fatal anemia in rats.
It has earlier been hypothesized that intravascular microbubbles, derived from a dodecafluoropentane (DDFP) emulsion, can transport physiologically significant amounts of oxygen in the animal body. To test this notion, anesthetized oxygen breathing rats were rendered severely anemic by bleeding and volume replacement. Rats treated with 0.014 ml/kg of DDFP in a 2% emulsion had normal circulatory...
متن کاملFEN Nucleases: Bind, Bend, Fray, Cut
In this issue, Orans et al. (2011) and Tsutakawa et al. (2011) report exciting insights into the molecular principles governing diverse endo- and exonucleolytic cleavage specificities of members of the RAD2/FEN superfamily of nucleases, which have critical roles in DNA replication and maintenance.
متن کاملWhich is which and who is who: Roger Waters up against Media
Pink Floyd was a British band whose work began in the late 60s. Roger Waters, the main contributor of the band, wrote almost all the lyrics and was also a main figure behind producing the motion picture of the album. He deliberately attacks Western media in both the lyrics he has written for the band and his solo projects. The present study finds this tendency of assaulting the media deeply roo...
متن کاملCellular and Biochemical Actions of Melatonin which Protect Against Free Radicals: Role in Neurodegenerative Disorders
Molecular oxygen is toxic for anaerobic organisms but it is also obvious that oxygen is poisonous to aerobic organisms as well, since oxygen plays an essential role for inducing molecular damage. Molecular oxygen is a triplet radical in its ground-stage (.O-O.) and has two unpaired electrons that can undergoes consecutive reductions of one electron and generates other more reactive forms of oxy...
