      Intein-mediated site-specific conjugation of Quantum Dots to proteins in vivo 

      Charalambous, Anna; Andreou, Maria I.; Skourides, Paris A. (2009)
      We describe an intein based method to site-specifically conjugate Quantum Dots (QDs) to target proteins in vivo. This approach allows the covalent conjugation of any nanostructure and/or nanodevice to any protein and thus ...

      Involvement of host DNA gyrase in growth of bacteriophage T5 

      Constantinou, Andreas I.; Voelkel-Meiman, K.; Sternglanz, R.; McCorquodale, M. M.; McCorquodale, D. J. (1986)
      Bacteriophage T5 did not grow at the nonpermissive temperature of 42°C in Escherichia coli carrying a temperature-sensitive mutation in gyrB [gyrB(Ts)], but it did grow in gyrA(Ts) mutants at 42°C. These findings indicate ...

      MicroRNAs as modifiers of phenotype in glomerular disease and as potential regulators of gene transcription 

      Papagregoriou, Gregoris (Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου, Σχολή Θετικών και Εφαρμοσμένων Επιστημών / University of Cyprus, Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences, 2012-05)
      Η φαινοτυπική ετερογένεια σε σπειραματικές νεφρικές νόσους, δεν μπορεί να εξηγηθεί από μεταλλάξεις που εντοπίζονται σε γονίδια σχετικά με αυτές. Συνεπώς, είναι πιθανόν να εμπλέκονται τροποποιητικά γονίδια. Υποθέσαμε πως ...

      Neural hyperplasia induced by RNA interference with m4/mα gene activity 

      Nagel, A. C.; Apidianakis, Yiorgos; Wech, I.; Maier, D.; Delidakis, Christos; Preiss, A. (2000)
      The E(spl) complex (E(spl)-C) contains three different classes of genes that are downstream of Notch signaling. The bHLH genes mediate the Notch signal by repressing proneural gene activity, for example during the ...
