Oestrogen receptor protein (ER) was detected in 9 of 11 samples of malignant breast tissue and 8 of 9 samples of normal breast tissue. Levels of cytosolic ER (ERJ) in malignant breast were 21-1102 fmol mgsoluble protein (Kd1.8x 10-9-3.1 x 10-8moll-1) and those of nucleosolic ER (ERj), 13-526fmolmg-' soluble protein (Kd 2.1 x 10-9-1.4 x 10 8mol '1). In normal breast tissue ERC levels were 33-640...

1. Pelagia noctiluca responds to galvanic stimulation by a luminescent glow at the anode. If placed near the cathode a secondary glow occurs also on the cathodal side. 2. The luminescent slime of Pelagia when subjected to the galvanic current glows around the cathode. This is referred partly to the movement of hydrogen bubbles, but in the main to the alkali formed at the cathode. 3. The cause o...

A new dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction separation/preconcentration procedure as a rapid sample-preparation technique is proposed for detection of ultra trace amounts of Au(III) in various media by flame atomic absorption spectrometry using 1,5-diphenyl-1,3,5-pentanetrione as chelating agent. Carbon tetrachloride and methanol were used as extraction and dispersive solvents, respectively....

Snail slime is obtained from Helix aspersa Müller and H. var. maxima. Two types of mucus are obtained: lymosine cryptosine, the one used in medicine cosmetology. The work aimed to present method obtaining snail slime, analyze its qualitative quantitative composition properties based on literature data. This raw material, addition antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, antiviral anticancer pr...

Andrew Adamatzky: Simulating strange attraction of acellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum to herbal tablets.

When agitated, Atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa) produce large quantities of slime that consists of hydrated bundles of protein filaments and membrane-bound mucin vesicles from numerous slime glands. When the slime exudate contacts seawater, the thread bundles unravel and the mucin vesicles swell and rupture. Little is known about the mechanisms of vesicle rupture in seawater and stabilizatio...

Specimens collected from sweet potato plants with slime mold symptoms in fields in Daejeon, Korea were examined. Two species of Myxomycetes, Fuligo septica and Stemonitis herbatica were identified based on their morphological characteristics. This is the first report that the two species of Myxomycetes cause slime mold of sweet potato in Korea.
