Long-patch Base Excision Repair01:02

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

8.0K
Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Patch Clamp01:18

Patch Clamp

6.6K
Many fundamental cell functions such as muscle contraction and nerve transmission rely on the electrical signals produced by the movement of positively and negatively charged ions across the cell membrane. One competent method to record current flowing across the whole cell or single ion channel is the patch-clamp technique.
In this method, a glass micropipette containing electrolyte solution is tightly sealed against a small portion of the cell membrane. As a result, a patch of the cell...

Molecular Chaperones and Protein Folding03:00

Molecular Chaperones and Protein Folding

19.9K
The native conformation of a protein is formed by interactions between the side chains of its constituent amino acids. When the amino acids cannot form these interactions, the protein cannot fold by itself and needs chaperones. Notably, chaperones do not relay any additional information required for the folding of polypeptides; the native conformation of a protein is determined solely by its amino acid sequence. Chaperones catalyze protein folding without being a part of the folded protein.

The Scientific Method

270.0K
The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.
Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...

Protein Complex Assembly02:41

Protein Complex Assembly

16.8K
Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types.  Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Allergology
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Poison ivy, oak, and sumac cause common North American allergic contact dermatitis.
  • Current treatments are insufficient, necessitating improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
  • Development of effective preventive therapies, like vaccines, requires reliable assessment tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the safety and optimal urushiol dosage for a novel hydrogel-based patch test.
  • To evaluate the Thin-Layer Rapid Use Epicutaneous Patch Test (T.R.U.E. Test) system for urushiol sensitivity.

Main Methods:

  • Nine subjects received patch tests with varying urushiol doses and a control.
  • Reactions were monitored and graded on days 2, 4, 7, 14, and 21 post-exposure.

Main Results:

  • No significant adverse effects were observed in any subjects.
  • The urushiol patch test successfully identified urushiol sensitivity.
  • Local reactions occurred at all urushiol doses, correlating with dosage.

Conclusions:

  • The hydrogel-based urushiol patch test is safe and effective.
  • This method can accurately assess urushiol sensitivity.
  • The test aids in evaluating new therapies for plant-induced allergic contact dermatitis.
