Abstract:

After ischemic damage in kidney, alternatively activated or M2 macrophages are key players in resolving inflammation and participating in kidney repair. Obtaining this particular phenotype is a process controlled by deregulation of a series of genes. Modulation of those genes could result in controlling macrophages phenotype and functions, aiming new approaches in resolving ARF. The first aim of this study was to identify genes that are related to M2 macrophages that are involved in tissue repair. By functional genomics we have identified the expression of 14 genes crucial for the induction

Abstract:

This study was carried out to analyze tomato samples and tomato seeds, purchased from different food markets of Turkey randomly, for the presence of genetic modification by using PCR method as it allows more specific detection. The DNAs of collected samples were isolated according to CTAB DNA extraction protocol and also with extraction kits. Screening tests of tomatoes were done by targeting 35S promoter, NOS terminator and NptII kanamycin resistance gene with eight different primer sets. Real time PCR is used to confirm 35S and NOS positives results obtained from conventional PCR. In this st

Abstract:

In this thesis I show that macrophages (both cell lines and primary cultures) can be transfected by recombinant adenoviruses expressing -galactosidase (A-gal/Av1Bng), that the macrophages become activated by the transfection process and can be easily manipulated to localise to inflamed glomeruli after direct injection into the renal artery of rats with an experimentally induced glomerular inflammation caused by nephrotoxic nephritis. The injection of transfected macrophages reduces the severity of injury in this model of glomerulonephritis as shown by a reduction in the degree of albuminuria.

Will these consumer benefits offset any concern that the consumer has regarding biotechnology? What are those benefits and how should the information be communica

Abstract:

The debate around genetically modified food and crops has proved to be complex and far-reaching, involving diverse stakeholder groups and many issues. Although the extent of global uptake of GM crops has been substantial (23 countries and 114.65 million hectares by 2007), it is significant that four countries are responsible for 86% of all GM plantings, and that a number of key food markets (for example the EU and Japan) remain largely "GM-free‟. This suggests that there is reluctance on the part of many countries to embrace GM technology. There are likely many reasons for this, but one signif

In recent years, foods produced by genetic engineering technology have been on the world food market.

Thus, detection and quantification of GMOs play crucial role for developing regulations on GM foods. In this study, raw and processed maize samples were analysed for genetic modification using a DNA based detection method, the Polymerase Chain Reaction. Ten raw food and 18 processed maize food incl

Intranasal inoculation of N. lactamica showed a good safety profile, but only 34% of those challenged with this species became colonised.

Introduction: The Genetically Modified (GM) food, which is one of the fruit of the modern biotechnology, is closely related to people's lives. GM food, specifically, GM crops, also known as biotech food, are produced from genetically modified organisms (GMO), which use genetic engineering techniques to introduce, recombine and modify DNA. The safety of GM food still do not have final conclusion at present. Although GM food has been introduced into China for over 15 years, many of the surveys show that Chinese consumers‘ knowledge of GM food is relatively low comparing with other countries. In
