Plant Responses to Sugar Starvation

Mapping out Health

THE HUMAN CELL LINE CCRF-CEM was derived by Foley et al. (1965) from the peripheral blood of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). When tested by Norman & Thompson (1977) CCRF-CEM was only partially sensitive to glucocorticoids, but Clone C7, isolated from the parental cell line, was lysed by pharmacological concentrations of glucocorticoids. The availability of a steroid-sensitiv...

Mapping out the diagnosis.

The approach to clinical conundrums by an expert clinician is revealed through the presentation of an actual patient’s case in an approach typical of a morning report. Similarly to patient care, sequential pieces of information are provided to the clinician, who is unfamiliar with the case. The focus is on the thought processes of both the clinical team caring for the patient and the discussant.

Implementation of a Lean Model for Carrying out Value Stream Mapping in a Manufacturing Industry

Value Stream Mapping technique involves flowcharting the steps, activities, material flows, communications, and other process elements that are involved with a process or transformation. In this respect, Value stream mapping helps an organization to identify the non-value-adding elements in a targeted process and brings a product or a group of products that use the same resources through the ma...

MicroRNA399 is involved in multiple nutrient starvation responses in rice

The increasing evidences have revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) play significant role in nutrient stress response. Previously, miR399 was documented to be induced by phosphorus (P) starvation and involved in regulating P starvation responses. To further investigate the function of miR399 in rice (Oryza sativa L.), we performed GeneChip analysis with OsmiR399 over-expressing plants. Interestingly...
