an experimental study was accomplished to compare estimation methods of ionizing radiations genotoxicity in mammalian cell cultures by means of two cytogenetic parameters with focus on aberrant cells characterized by multiple chromosomal damages.in vitro study was carried out on the genotoxicity of low-medium doses of 190 kv x-rays absorbed in chinese hamster ovary cell cultures. micronuclei an...

twik2 ion channels (k2p6.1, encoded by a gene named kcnk6) belong to the family of two-pore domain potassium channels. twik2 is also considered as a “silent” channel because of its inability to produce measurable currents in heterologous expression systems and its intracellular retention. it is expressed in different mammalian tissues including lymphoid organs and the vascular system. however, ...

Background: Human luteinizing hormone (hLH) stimulates steroid biosynthesis of the ovary, triggers ovulation and prepares androgen production of testicular Leydig cells. LH belongs to the family of glycoprotein hormones that are heterodimers consisting of a common α-subunit and specific β-subunit. hLH is necessary for clinical and infertility treatment. Recombinant DNA technology provides a use...

Objective(s): To benefit from reproduction and deal with challenges in the environmental conditions, animals must adapt internal physiology to maximize the reproduction rate. Maladaptive variations in the neurochemical systems and reproductive system can lead to manifestation of several significant mammalian reprocesses, including mammalian ovarian lifespan. RFamide-related peptide (RFRP, Rfrp)...

Abstract Transparency is widespread in nature, ranging from transparent insect wings to ocular tissues that enable you read this text, and marine vertebrates. And yet, cells tissue models biology are usually strongly light scattering optically opaque, precluding deep optical microscopy. Here we describe the directed evolution of cultured mammalian toward increased transparency. We find mutation...

In recent years, the number of recombinant proteins used for therapeutic applications and industry has increased dramatically. Recombinant proteins are produced in many host organisms (microbial, insect, plant and mammalian cells). There are many factors to consider when choosing the optimal system for protein expression and purification including the mass, purity or solubility of the recombina...

Most of the mammalian species possess asynchronous ovary that exhibit different stages of follicles. During final stages of folliculogenesis, mammalian ovary ensures the generation of competent oocytes required for fertilization and embryonic development. To achieve this goal, large number of incompetent or defective germ cells (>99%) are eliminated from ovary through follicular atresia via apo...

Epitope tagging is a method of expressing proteins whereby an epitope for a specific monoclonal antibody is fused to a target protein using recombinant DNA techniques. The aim of this study was to sub-clone the peroxisomal protein (PEP) cDNA into a mammalian expression vector leading to the formation of a  chimeric PEP-cDNA containing the FLAG epitope. The FLAG-PEP recombinant cDNA was construc...
