p53: Pro-aging or pro-longevity?

continues to surprise biologists. For nearly a decade, it was thought to be an oncogene [1, 2], only to be subsequently declared a potent tumor suppressor [3, 4]. Initially characterized as a transcriptional activator, we now know p53 is also a transcriptional repressor [5]. And just as it seemed p53 activities were confined to the nucleus, it became apparent that p53 also functioned in the cyt...

CIE Work in Color Imaging

The CIE Board of Administration has proposed a new Division to study procedures and prepare guides and standards for the optical, visual and metrological aspects of the communication, processing, and reproduction of images, using all types of analogue and digital imaging devices, storage media and imaging media. While current practice enables adequate color communication within single industrie...

CIE Colorimetry and Colour Displays

CIE colorimetry was standardised 65 years ago to describe colorimetric properties of signal lights. The first real application of CIE colorimetry occurred, however, in the textile and coating industries to describe colour matches between sample and reference. Thus also the experiments conducted to achieve a uniform colour scale diagram were performed by using material samples usually illuminate...

Fucoidans: pro- or antiangiogenic agents?

Sulfated polysaccharides of brown algae (fucoidans) attract great attention due to their high and strongly diversified biological activity. This review summarizes recent data on the structural variability of these polysaccharides and reports their anti- and proangiogenic properties. Recent publications have revealed that fucoidans isolated from different algal species may differ considerably in...
