Application

Standard procedure and microwave procedure included in package insert.
When treated with periodic acid, glycols are oxidized to aldehydes. After reaction with Schiff′s Reagent (a mixture of pararosaniline and sodium metabisulfite), a pararosaniline adduct is released that stains the glycol-containing cellular elements pink to red. Cellular elements which may be demonstrated with the PAS procedure include glycogen, fungal walls, basement membrane, certain epithelial sulfomucins and sialomucins, neutral mucosubstances, colloid material of the thyroid and the pars intermedia of the pituitary.

New strategies are needed to counter the escalating threat posed by drug-resistant fungi. The molecular chaperone Hsp90 affords a promising target because it supports survival, virulence and drug-resistance across diverse pathogens. Inhibitors of human Hsp90 under development as anticancer therapeutics

Cilia are complex cellular protrusions consisting of hundreds of proteins. Defects in ciliary structure and function, many of which have not been characterised molecularly, cause ciliopathies: a heterogeneous group of human syndromes. Here, we report on the FOXJ1 target gene
