We discovered that it takes approximately 30 and 45 min, respectively, for the alkyne-bearing SiaNAl and ManNAl to be converted into cell-surface sialylated glycoconjugates.
Now, Lee et al. have shown that duct cells, which make up about 30% of the human pancreas, can be converted into cells capable of producing and secreting insulin.
Rudolf Jaenisch, a Whitehead Institute Founding Member and National Medal of Science recipient, focuses on understanding epigenetic regulation of gene expression (the biological mechanisms that affect how genetic information is converted into cell structures but that don't alter the genes in the process).
The fluorescent dye DCFH-DA is a cell membrane permeable and is converted into cell membrane impermeable nonfluorescent compound DCFH by intracellular esterases.
Sample fluorescence values were converted into cell numbers using a standard curve constructed by plotting CyQUANT GR fluorescence against cell counts.
Total counts in the measured sections were converted into cell densities for comparison between fimasartan treatment and control groups according to our established protocol [ 22].
Total counts in these sampling regions were converted into cell densities for quantification and comparison between the treatment and control groups.
In the cytotoxicity assay, absorbance results were converted into cell viability percentages and statistically compared by one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni test, using Graphpad Prism 5 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, USA).
The data from PWV shift images of the 56 extracts were converted into cell survival fractions relative to untreated wells as shown in Figure 2. Twenty-two of the plant extracts induced over 50% death of Panc-1 cells at a treatment concentration of 100 μg/mL (Table 1).
1366 Technologies yesterday opened a demonstration plant here where it will manufacture wafers, the thin square sheets of silicon that are converted into cells, which are then wired together to make a solar panel.
