Unfortunately, to date, all the attempts to integrate exogenous DNA into the parasite's genome have failed and most methods for up- and down-regulation of gene expression have been based on the transfection of stably maintained plasmids. Down-regulation has been achieved by plasmids encoding: (i) antisense RNA, (ii) truncated or mutated genes that exert dominant-negative effects, and (iii) inverted loops that generate double stranded RNA molecules. Small interfering RNA oligonucleotides incorporated di...

Matt Moore fell ill in November, he has been in and out of four hospitals, all the while growing sicker from a mysterious illness that doctors were at a loss to identify. Now he is on life-support in a critical-care unit in San Diego.Late last month, his family and friends finally got some answers. But the news was not good. Moore, 43, who is married and has three teenage children, is suffering from a rare and usually fatal parasitic meningoencephalitis caused by a brain-eating amoeba found in soil. continued...Best wishes to Capt. Moore and his family. (Source: Scalpel or Sword?) Scalpel or Sword? blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1250168 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 18:02:00 +0100 1250168
