Resurrection Isn't Everything

Resurrection

The golden era of molecular biology has paved the way for us now to tweak, fix, engineer, or even entirely synthesize genomes at levels and scales never seen before. Sequencing technologies continue to improve at exponential rates and have yielded powerful new insights into organisms of the distant past, as well as those that co-inhabit the planet with us. The era of genomics has ushered in the...

Resurrection Plants

Trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS), as the key enzyme for the synthesis of plants trehalose, has effects of enhancing its anti-dehydration, as well as protecting biofilm, proteins, and others from harm. Additionally, reproductive isolation between species can be broken with transgenic technology, and beneficial gene of other species can be transformed and utilized to improve resistance of cro...

The ISNT rule and differentiation of normal from glaucomatous eyes.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the ISNT rule (that normal eyes show a characteristic configuration for disc rim thickness of inferior > or = superior > or = nasal > or = temporal), widely used for clinical evaluation of the optic nerve head, can differentiate normal from glaucomatous eyes. METHODS All subjects underwent complete eye examination, including achromatic automated perimetry, simul...

Factors Affecting ISNT Rule Satisfaction in Normal and Glaucomatous Eyes

PURPOSE To determine the factors that influence the satisfaction of the 'ISNT rule' (neural rim width: inferior ≥ superior ≥ nasal ≥ temporal) in normal and glaucomatous eyes. METHODS The medical records of patients that visited Boramae Medical Center, Seoul, Korea, were reviewed. Each group of normal and glaucomatous eyes was divided into subgroups based on whether or not they satisfied the ...
