On dying and dyeing

Dying cells, dyeing channels, and seasonal changes in neurotransmitter identity

This month's installment of Generally Physiological concerns signals from apoptotic cells that promote muscle development, food dyes that selectively block the pannexin 1 (Panx1) ATP channel, and photoperiod-dependent switches in neurotransmit-ter phenotype. The multinucleated myofibers that make up muscle are generated through the fusion of mononuclear myoblasts. Noting that a signaling module...

On Death and Dying

This initial attitude contrasted with the gratitude of many dying people who were only too pleased to find that a doctor and a chaplain were willing to break through the web of their loneliness. Gradually more nurses, doctors and others contributed and, in turn, improved their own adjustment to this uneasy part of their vocation. The author uses extensive quotes from interviews reco...

A Review on the Physico-Chemical Studies of Dyeing Progress and Dyeing Kinetics Using Natural Dyes

It is felt very essential to develop a knowledge base on dye chemistry and effects of dyeing process variables as well as rate of dyeing and chemical kinetics of dyeing for different natural dyes and fibres combinations to manipulate the processes of natural dyeing efficiently in order to get maximum color yield in economical way. A review on the effects of dye extraction medium, optimum concen...
