The expanding number of members in the various human heat shock protein (HSP) families
and the inconsistencies in their nomenclature have often led to confusion. Here, we propose …

Current strategies for hepatic gene therapy are either quantitatively inefficient or suffer from
lack of permanent gene expression. We have utilized an animal model of hereditary …

Morris hepatoma 7777 cells, heat conditioned at 43 for 0.5 hr, become gradually thermoresistant
during an incubation at 37 as judged by their ability to form colonies following a second …

Nanomaterials are highly dynamic in biological and environmental media. A critical need for
advancing environmental health and safety research for nanomaterials is to identify …

There is a pressing need to develop rapid whole animal-based testing assays to assess the
potential toxicity of engineered nano-materials. To meet this challenge, the embryonic …

There are tens of thousands of man-made chemicals in the environment; the inherent safety
of most of these chemicals is not known. Relevant biological platforms and new …

Perfluorooctanesulphonicacid (PFOS), a persistent organic contaminant, has been widely
detected in the environment, wildlife and humans, but few studies have assessed its effect on …

The 5′-cap and the poly(A) tail act synergistically to increase the translational efficiency of
eukaryotic mRNAs, which suggests that these two mRNA elements communicate during …

All polyadenylated mRNAs contain sequence of variable length between the coding region
and the poly(A) tail. Little has been done to establish what role the length of the 3′ …

The increased use of flammable plastics and electronic devices along with stricter fire safety
standards has led to the heavy use of flame retardant chemicals in many consumer, …
