| 20120102588 | RICE ZINC FINGER PROTEIN TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR DST AND USE THEREOF FOR REGULATING DROUGHT AND SALT TOLERANCE - Provided are zinc finger protein transcription factor DST having the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, conservative variants and homologous polypeptides thereof. Also provided are DNA sequence encoding the transcription factor DST, vector or host cell comprising the DNA sequence, cis-acting element binding to the DST, inhibitor or non-conservative variant of the transcription factor DST or encoding sequence thereof, and use of the inhibitor or non-conservative variant for improving the drought and salt tolerance in plant. | 04-26-2012 |
| 20110245145 | METHODS AND REAGENTS FOR THE DIAGNOSIS, PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF INSULIN RESISTANCE - The present invention provides the use of βarrestin2 protein or its up-regulators for manufacturing a composition for the prevention or treatment of insulin resistance or related disease in mammals. The reagents and the kits for the specific identification of βarrestin2 protein or its coding gene or transcript are also provided which can be used in diagnosis of insulin resistance or related diseases. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20100279976 | USE OF ARTEMISININ AND ITS DERIVATIVES IN CANCER THERAPY - A method for treating cancer in a mammal includes administering to the mammal in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of artemisinin (ART) or its derivative, such as dihydroartemisinin (DHA), artemether (ARM), or artesunate (ARS) alone or in combination with a chemotherapeutic agent, such as gemcitabine and carboplatin. A method for inhibiting tumor cell proliferation includes contacting a tumor cell with ART or its derivative, such as DHA, ARM, and ARS, in an amount effective to inhibit tumor cell proliferation or in combination with a chemotherapeutic agent, such as gemcitabine and carboplatin. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100064385 | CROP GRAIN FILLING GENE GIF1 AND THE APPLICATIONS THEREOF - A novel crop grain filling gene (GIF1) and the applications thereof are presented in the invention. The GIF1 gene can be applied to control grain filling, enhance crop yield or quality, or improve disease resistance or storage stability of crop grains. A method for improving crops is also presented in the invention. The GIF1 gene shows valuable potentials in controlling crop yield, quality, storage, and resistance to diseases. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20090209455 | VITREOUS ADMINISTRATION OF ERYTHROPOIETIN - A therapeutic composition for treating and/or preventing retinal disorder includes intravitreally or transsclerally administered erythropoietin. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090197282 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SCREENING THE RECEPTOR-LIGAND BINDING IN LIVE CELL - The invention relates to methods and system for detecting ligand binding to membrane receptors and endocytosis. A method for detecting ligand binding to a membrane receptor includes the steps of: incubating the cell with a dye and a ligand; and detecting dye-containing endocytic vesicles in the cell. A system for screening ligand binding to membrane receptors includes an automatic liquid handling device; an x-y stage for positioning a plate; a microscope configured to image endocytic vesicles of a cell; a software for automatic analysis of FM spots (endocytic vesicles); and a control unit configured to control the movement of the x-y stage and the microscope. | 08-06-2009 |
