“Rapid Learning: Biochemistry and Cell Biology in 24 Hours”Need to learn them fast?Go rich-media! Bio chemistry And Cell BiologyWhat is rich-media? This is a multi-modal learning approach with visual, auditory and hands-on practice, making the mastery of biochemistry and cell biology easy and quick. How quick?How about master biochemistry and cell biology in 24 hours?The answer is “Rapid Learning”, using a powerful rich-media to deliver the biochemistry and cell biology courses in three easy...Read Full Story
Everyone knows there are a million uses for duct tape. But did you know that DNA does a lot more than just store our genetic blueprints? Yeah, it turns out that the structure of DNA can be used for all kinds of things. Like optic cables, for example.A team of Swedish scientists has come up with a new technique that allows DNA strands to be converted to microscopic fiber optic cables. The wires literally build themselves - using the nature of DNA's structure to create helices - from a mix of...Read Full Story
Increased polyol pathway flux Aldose reductase (alditol:NAD(P)+ 1-oxidoreductase, EC
1.1.1.21) is the first enzyme in the polyol pathway. It is a cytosolic, monomeric oxidoreductase
that catalyses the NADPH-dependent reductionRead Full Story

Ribosomes are “protein factories” in the cells of all living things. They produce proteins based on existing genetic codes stored on special nucleic acid molecules. These molecules, also called messenger RNA (mRNA) due to the genetic information encoded on them, are read by ribosomes in a stepwise manner. Defined start and stop signals on the mRNA direct this process. If a stop signal is missing, protein formation cannot be completed and the...
atherosclerosis, hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy and remodeling, angiogenesis and collateral formation, stroke, and heart failure. In this review, we discuss in detail the biochemistry of Nox enzymes expressed in the cardiovascular system (Nox1, 2, 4, and 5), their roles in cardiovascular cell biology, and their contributions to disease development.
