A tetracycline-regulated expression system is combined with the FLAG-epitope tagging method for conditional expression of potentially toxic proteins in mammalian cells. This strategy allows a controlled expression of exogenous gene products and also provides a unique way of protein purification. Two mammalian expression plasmids containing the FLAG sequence and flanking multiple cloning sites w...

Y.C. "Bert" Fung: the father of modern biomechanics.

It is a great fortune to have Professor Y.C. Fung as the Honorary Editor for the journal “Mechanics and Chemistry of Biosystems”. It is also my great fortune that Professor Satya Atluri (Editor-in-Chief) has asked me to write a tribute to Dr. Fung and his contributions to mechanics of biosystems or biomechanics. In casting off the first volume of the journal, this dedication is most appropriate...

The protective effects of Mucuna pruriens seed extract (MPE) against the cardio-respiratory depressant and neuromuscular paralytic effects induced by injection of Calloselasma rhodostoma (Malayan pit viper) venom in anaesthetized rats were investigated. While MPE pretreatment did not reverse the inhibitory effect of the venom on the gastrocnemius muscle excitability, it significantly attenuated...
