Laser Micro Dissection Systems: An Alternative Method of Defined Cell Isolation for Molecular Profiling

 


Authored by Ratan K Choudhary

Laser micro-dissection permits isolation groups of cells from heterogeneous tissue sections under direct microscopic visualization. This technology not only allows isolation of homogenous subpopulation of cells but also allows immunophenotypically similar cells for RNA/DNA or protein extraction for downstream applications like western blot, mass spectrophotometry, real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, microarray and RNA sequencing. Isolation of dead cells unsuitable for functional assays, high cost of equipment and technical expertise required for operation are few limitations to laser microdissection systems.

The Ethogram: Quantifying the Behavioral Picture and Justifying the Severity of Diseases-Juniper Publishers

Image
Journal of Dairy & Veterinary Sciences - Juniper Publishers     Introduction Ethogram is an expression of behavior in an objective rather than subjective way [ 1 , 2 ]. The digital value for a prepared ethogram is considered acute edge for different forms of a specific disease (from per-acuteness to chronicity). This opinion is focusing on the necessity of preparing an ethogram for the behavior of animal and birds in health (e.g. comfort behaviors) and diseases [ 2 ]. We will emphasize the customized ethogram in experimentally-induced infected animal or natural diseases or affections. In addition, ethogram can be used in detection of different forms of abnormal behaviors such as stereo types [ 3 ]. Many reports referredto several diseasesthat can be diagnosed by their behavioral picture e.g. Milk fever, Nymphomania [ 4 ]. We characterized the range of observed behaviors. The best way to generalize is to summarize the average of beha...

Integration of Innovative Technology ‘Narmada Nidhi’ in Backyard Poultry Farming for Empowering Tribal Women Self-Help Groups-Juniper Publishers

Image
JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DAIRY & VETERINARY SCIENCES   Abstract The present study was conducted in six villages of Narayanganj and Niwas blocks of Mandla District. Data were collected through a structured interview schedule by personal interview method. For integration of Narmada Nidhi among tribal women SHGs extension interventions like awareness camps, exposure visits and trainings on poultry management were organized in the study areas. After proper extension interventions, 06 self- help-groups were formed and each group was provided with 50 Narmada Nidhi chickens to empower them. The study data revealed that, extension interventions lead to improvement in knowledge and attitude change among the members of SHGs. The each tribal SHGs were economically benefitted as they received an average income of Rs.17,032 during the 8 months study period. Proper extension strategies like awareness campaigns, exposure visits and training helps in capacity...

A Review on Phytochemicals (Including Essential Oils and Extracts) Inclusion in Feed and Their Effects on Food Producing Animals-Juniper Publishers

Image
Journal of Dairy & Veterinary Sciences - Juniper Publishers   Introduction Essential oils are aromatic hydrophobic liquids extracted commonly by hydro distillation from a diverse number of plant parts; this includes but is not limited to flowers, buds, seeds, leaves, twigs, bark, wood, fruits, receptacles and roots [ 1 ]. Specific compounds of interest can be obtained from processing plant tissue and using separation techniques. However this approach is expensive, significant amounts of plant material are needed (unfavorable for exotic plant species), and reduced yields are usually obtained. Hence, when on high demand, or the desired compound is identified and isolated, it can be synthetically manufactured. These oils often contain diverse families of compounds which convert them in complex chemical mixtures [ 2 ]. Other biochemically active groups of compounds (e.g. polyphenols, glycosides) are usually extracted directly from the plant t...
