    James Francis Tait. 1 December 1925—2 February 2014

    Dec 1, 2018 - James F. Tait FRS, with his wife Sylvia A. S. Tait FRS, made an indelible contribution to life science and medicine with the isolation and characterization of aldosterone, the most potent mineralocorticoid hormone produced by the mammalian adrenal

    Remaking ourselves

    Stem cells can be used to create embryo-like structures that may or may not develop as normal embryos do, and artificial brain-like organs grown in dishes raise questions about

    Live cell imaging of mechanotransduction

    Jun 6, 2010 - Mechanical forces play important roles in the regulation of cellular functions, including polarization, migration and stem cell differentiation. Tremendous advancement in our understanding of mechanotransduction has been achieved with the recent

    Novel nanocomposite biomaterials with controlled copper/calcium release capability for bone tissue engineering…

    Sep 6, 2015 - This work aimed to develop novel composite biomaterials for bone tissue engineering (BTE) made of bioactive glass nanoparticles (Nbg) and alginate cross-linked with Cu2+ or Ca2+ (AlgNbgCu, AlgNbgCa, respectively). Two-dimensional scaffolds were

    DNA methylation and epigenetic inheritance

    Jan 30, 1990 - Classical genetics has revealed the mechanisms for the transmission of genes from generation to generation, but the strategy of the genes in unfolding the developmental programme remains obscure. Epigenetics comprises the study of the mechanisms

    A new cytogenetic mechanism for bacterial endosymbiont-induced parthenogenesis in Hymenoptera

    Aug 19, 2008 - Vertically transmitted endosymbiotic bacteria, such as Wolbachia, Cardinium and Rickettsia, modify host reproduction in several ways to facilitate their own spread. One such modification results in parthenogenesis induction, where males, which are

    The inheritance of germline-specific epigenetic modifications during development

    Feb 27, 1993 - Parental genomes in mammals are programmed in the germline with heritable epigenetic modifications that exert control on the expression of specific (imprinted) genes. DNA methylation is one form of epigenetic modification which shows marked

    Structure and expression of human IFN-α genes

    Sep 24, 1982 - Copy DNA (cDNA) was prepared from induced leucocyte poly (A) RNA and cloned in Escherichia coli. IFN-α cDNA clones were isolated by subculture cloning with the use of a translation hybridization assay. Definitive identification of the clones was
