Disease relevance of Biological Sciences

 

High impact information on Biological Sciences

  • Japan. Summit seeks boost for life sciences [2].
  • Claude Bernard, the son of a Beaujolais winegrower, moved to Paris to pursue his literary ambitions and went on to become one of the fathers of modern life sciences [3].
  • "The Glass Ceiling for Women in the Life Sciences Meeting", organized by the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), was held on 22-23 June 2001 in Heidelberg, Germany [4].
  • On November 29-30, 1995, the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine brought together experts in schizophrenia and specialists in other areas of the biological sciences in a workshop aimed at promoting the application of the latest biological information to this clinical problem [5].
  • In the last decade interactions of fluorine substituents in a variety of organic compounds have gained interest in life science and solid state materials [6].
 

Biological context of Biological Sciences

 

Anatomical context of Biological Sciences

  • Sarmesin, [Sar1, Tyr(Me)4]angiotensinII], has been reported to be a competitive angiotensin II (AII) receptor antagonist in rat smooth muscle preparations (Scanlon et al., (1984), Life Science 34, 317-321) [10].
 

Associations of Biological Sciences with chemical compounds

  • The present study was designed to determine whether this abnormality could be counteracted either by increasing the intraislet insulin level or by normalizing the diabetic state by a glucose-controlled insulin infusion system (GCIIS: Biostator, Life Science Instruments, Elkhart, Indiana) [11].
  • Chicken avidin and bacterial streptavidin are proteins used in a wide variety of applications in the life sciences due to their strong affinity for biotin [12].
  • Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis has become the most widely used separation method in biological science [13].
  • Protonated and deprotonated biological molecules in the gas phase play an important role in life sciences research [14].
  • Three different microcarriers, collagen-coated polystyrene (Kontes Life Sciences Products, Vineland, N.J.), Gelibead (Hazelton Research Products, Inc., Lenexa, Kans.), and Cytodex 3 (Pharmacia Fine Chemicals, Piscataway, N.J.), were used to compare the propagation of these anchorage-dependent cells [15].
 

Gene context of Biological Sciences

  • Of these gene products, avidin is the best characterized and is known for its extremely high affinity for D-biotin, a property that is utilized in numerous modern life science applications [16].
  • The variant was isolated from manufacturing process of LG Life Sciences' hGH product [17].
  • We argue that the search for traces of life on Mars represents a major thought-provoking challenge for the life sciences that should be taken up by the biological community [18].
  • The ability to conjugate reporter groups to ROMP polymers using this strategy has broad applications in the material and biological sciences [19].
  • All related Technical, Corporate, and Flight Test Reports in the KRUG Life Sciences corporate library were also reviewed [20].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Biological Sciences

  • METHODS: We used a time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay method for TSH and T4 with the AutoDELPHIA instrument (Perkin-Elmer Life Sciences, Turku, Finland) [21].
  • This improved p24 antigen test, for which all reagents are available from Perkin Elmer Life Sciences, was evaluated in clinical studies in comparison with the most sensitive PCR methods available at a given time [22].
