Translational Emphasis

New JBI emphasis on translational bioinformatics

With the current issue, the Journal of Biomedical Informatics is now well into its ninth year since its 2001 transformation from the former Computers and Biomedical Research. We are delighted with the growth of the journal during that time and believe that we have established precisely the kind of unique niche that we sought to pursue when we renamed the journal and developed its current editor...

The translational aspect of complementary and alternative medicine for cancer with particular emphasis on Kampo

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) including Japanese Kampo is known to have anticancer potential. An increasing number of cancer survivors are using CAM for disease prevention, immune system enhancement, and symptom control. Although there have been abundant previous clinical reports regarding CAM, scientific investigations aimed at acquiring quantifiable results in clinical trials, ...

Partial Flocks of Non-Singular Quadrics in <Emphasis Type="Italic">PG</Emphasis>(2<Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis> + 1, <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>)

We generalise the definition and many properties of partial flocks of non-singular quadrics in PG(3, q) to partial flocks of non-singular quadrics in PG(2r + 1, q).

Suppressors <Emphasis Type="Italic">suaC 109 </Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">suaA 101 </Emphasis> of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Aspergillus nidulans </Emphasis> alter the ribosomal phenotype <Emphasis Type="Italic">in vitro </Emphasis>

A new homologous, cell-free system for protein synthesis has been devised for use with ribosomes and elongation factors from Aspergillus nidulans. Ribosome preparations from strains with either the suaAlO1 or suaCl09 mutations have a higher misreading ratio (non-cognate:cognate amino acid incorporation) in the presence of hygromycin than controls. They can be classed as fidelity mutants. These ...
