Green Belt Europe – nature knows no boundaries. From “Iron Curtain” to Europe’s lifeline

Electroporation Knows No Boundaries

The discovery of RNA interference (RNAi) has enabled several breakthrough discoveries in the area of functional genomics. The RNAi technology has emerged as one of the major tools for drug target identification and has been steadily improved to allow gene manipulation in cell lines, tissues, and whole organisms. One of the major hurdles for the use of RNAi in high-throughput screening has been ...

Hepcidin: inflammation's iron curtain.

Editorial Hepcidin: inflammation's iron curtain Rheumatologists and their patients are the beneficiaries of a recently identified peptide, hepcidin (Table 1). Isolated from human urine and plasma in the year 2000 [1, 2], hepcidin appears to be the long-sought iron-regulatory hormone responsible for the anaemia of chronic disease [3, 4]. It is more than that: it is an acute-phase reactant, respo...

Tae Hoon Kim: Knows his boundaries

JCB • VOLUME 183 • NUMBER 1 • 2008 4 W hen and where a gene is expressed depends on its associated regulatory elements, chromatin environment, transcription factors, and numerous other infl uences that scientists do not yet fully understand. Because each gene has a particular expression pattern, it can be diffi cult to identify general rules for the switching on or off of genes. Tae Hoon Kim is...
