For more than a century, research scientists have been accumulating genetic and biochemical data on model organisms. Now, the explosion of genomic information and the need to search for gene homologies makes it more important than ever that these data should be organized in an accessible way — which is where online databases come into their own. The Spider kicks off with yeast and Caenorhabditi...

This study aimed to investigate Norwegian eighth-grade students’ preconceptions of cells, the development their understanding cellular structure and function during cell biology instruction, as a system. We conducted pre- posttests including drawings, images statements with 28 students. Our findings indicate that most students had simplified view cells prior instruction but developed significan...

introduction: serum c-reactive protein (crp) is believed to be increased in metastatic urothelial cancer of the bladder. however, the changes depend on the stage and grade of the upper tract urothelial carcinoma (utuc). this study aimed to compare low-range and high-range serum crp and haptoglobin in new cases of utuc. materials and methods: blood was collected from newly diagnosed patients wit...

Rickettsia is a group of vector-borne organisms that beget acute febrile illnesses throughout the world. While clinical presentation rickettsial infection analogous, causative species and epidemiology can vary depending upon region. Purpura fulminans (PF) rare pattern intravascular thrombosis haemorrhagic infarction skin fleetly progressive accompanied by vascular collapse disseminated coagulat...

Significant warming has been observed in every ocean, yet our ability to predict the consequences of oceanic warming on marine biodiversity remains poor. Experiments have been severely limited because, until now, it has not been possible to manipulate seawater temperature in a consistent manner across a range of marine habitats. We constructed a "hot-plate" system to directly examine ecological...
