MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short RNA molecules responsible for post-transcriptional gene silencing by the degradation or translational inhibition of their target messenger RNAs (mRNAs). This process of gene silencing, known as RNA interference (RNAi), is mediated by highly conserved Argonaute (Ago) proteins which are the key components of the RNA induced silencing complex (RISC). In humans, Ago2 is responsible for the endonuclease cleavage of targeted mRNA and it interacts with the mRNAbinding protein GW182, which is a marker for cytoplasmic foci referred to as GW bodies (GWBs). We demonstrated that the antiAgo2 monoclonal antibody 4F9 recognized GWBs in a cell cycle …

The Oral Contraceptive As Abortifacient: An Analysis Of The Evidence, Dennis M. Sullivan Sep 2006

The Oral Contraceptive As Abortifacient: An Analysis Of The Evidence, Dennis M. Sullivan

Science and Mathematics Faculty Publications

Pro-life Christian ethicists and medical practitioners have been united in their opposition to abortion, but have sometimes been divided in their ethical approach to hormonal contraception. Even though many Christians believe that birth control may be a moral option, some claim that the “Pill” acts, at least some of the time, as an abortifacient. If true, Christians who hold that human personhood begins at conception would be morally opposed to the use of combined oral contraceptives.

This article examines the scientific evidence for an abortifacient effect of such contraceptive agents, and concludes that such an effect is yet unproven. Some …


Sampling And Analytical Strategies For Biomarker Discovery Using Mass Spectrometry, Thomas P. Conrads, Brian L. Hood, Timothy D. Veenstra Jun 2006

Sampling And Analytical Strategies For Biomarker Discovery Using Mass Spectrometry, Thomas P. Conrads, Brian L. Hood, Timothy D. Veenstra

Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Publications

There is an often unspoken truth behind the course of scientific investigation that involves not what is necessarily academically worthy of study, but rather what is scientifically worthy in the eyes of funding agencies. The perception of worthy research is, as cost is driven in the simplest sense in economics, often driven by demand. Presently, the demand for novel diagnostic and therapeutic protein biomarkers that possess high sensitivity and specificity is placing major impact on the field of proteomics. The focal discovery technology that is being relied on is mass spectrometry (MS), whereas the challenge of biomarker discovery often lies …
