Rearing Mesostoma ehrenbergii and studying chromosome movements during meiosis in their spermatocytes
"The Mesostoma ehrenbergii spermatocyte is an advantageous cell for studying meiosis. Its many unique features include regular and persistent bivalent kinetochore oscillations, distance segregation of univalents and the ...
Clock-related regulation of mitochondrial physiology in skeletal muscle
Biological rhythms regulate numerous functional processes within organisms, including the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-y coactivator 1-a (PGC-1a), a potent regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. ...
Studying protein-DNA interactions using kinetic capillary electrophoresis
Protein-DNA interactions are essential to a cell as they control all vital cellular functions such as DNA replication, repair, recombination and transcription. In order to understand the dynamics of these fundamental ...
