Sequence-specific PCR markers were derived from one new and eight previously identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers for the purpose of identifying grape (Vitis) rootstocks. The markers were developed because the RAPD assay was found to be inconsistent and the original RAPD markers unreliable. Southern hybridization analysis of the...
A multifunctional tumor-targeting delivery system was developed and evaluated for an efficient treatment of drug-resistant ovarian cancer by combinatorial therapeutic modality based on chemotherapy and mild hyperthermia. The engineered iron oxide nanoparticle (IONPs)-based nanocarrier served as an efficient delivery vehicle for doxorubicin and provided the ability to heat cancer cells...
BACKGROUND: The release of antibiotics into aquatic environments has made the treatment of wastewater
containing antibiotics a world-wide public health problem. The ability of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) to harvest
electricity from organic waste and renewable biomass is attracting increased interest in wastewater treatment.
In this paper we investigated the...
