Will haplotype maps be useful for finding genes?

How Useful Will Functional Proteomics Data Be?

Large-scale protein interaction maps are, with gene expression profiles, among the first examples of data sets generated without specific knowledge on functions of genes. These are technology-driven experiments rather than hypothesis-driven experiments. They are valuable tools for protein function prediction, despite the occurrence of typical artifacts. These approaches are still in their early...

Finding a cure for HIV: will it ever be achievable?

Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has led to a major reduction in HIV-related mortality and morbidity. However, HIV still cannot be cured. With the absence of an effective prophylactic or therapeutic vaccine, increasing numbers of infected people, emerging new toxicities secondary to cART and the need for life-long treatment, there is now a real urgency to find a cure for HIV.There are ...

Will use of exhaled breath condensate be useful for the intensive care unit routine?

Endogenous production of nitric oxide can be detected and monitored in exhaled air of men and animals. The main objective of this review was to discuss if nitric oxide in exhaled breath condensate is a useful tool when investigating respiratory dysfunctions in intensive care units. Specialized literature reveals an increasing interest in the use of exhaled breath condensate as a non-invasive me...

PHA stimulation may be useful for FDXR gene expression-based biodosimetry

Objective(s): Nowadays, ionizing radiation (IR) has a significant contribution to the diagnostic and therapeutic medicine, and following that, health risks to individuals through unexpected exposure is greatly increased. Therefore, biological and molecular technology for estimation of dose (biodosimetry) is taken into consideration. In biodosimetry methods stimulation ...
