The development of a flow cytometric method to detect the presence of mutated nucleophosmin in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Nucleophosmin (NPM1) is an acidic, nucleo-cytoplasmic, shuttling protein with predominant nucleolar localisation that plays multiple roles in cell growth and proliferation. Deletion insertion mutations of NPM1 (NPM1 DIM) seem to disrupt it normal physiologic role as a molecular chaperone, which …

Resource Allocation and Process Improvement of Genetic Manufacturing Systems
… resulting in waste and repeated work during the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fabrication process. Inspection and real time monitoring strategies are possible as mitigation tools, but it is unclear if these techniques are cost efficient and value added for the successful creation of custom genetic …

Studies on Clostridium acetobutylicum P262 : sporulation induction and analysis of an oligosporogenous, solvent-deficient mutant
… for Clostridium acetobutylicum P262. Of acetic acid, butyric acetone and butanol, was found to be most effective at induction. Induction was more efficient at low pH values under certain conditions. The heat resistance of mature spores was determined and the optlmal temperature for spore …
