Excessive Heat Stroke Induces Long‐term Physiological Changes That are Linked to Altered Epigenetic Profiles
Excessive Heat Stroke Induces Long‐term Physiological Changes That are Linked to Altered Epigenetic Profiles
Epigenetics is the study of heritable phenotypic change that involves chemical modifications to the DNA genome sequence or associated DNA-binding proteins. These specific alterations affect how cells turn genes off or on. Exertional heat stroke (EHS) can cause long-term negative effects on health. Although epigenetic “reprogramming” of the genome is involved in the response to heat acclimation, it is not known whether the long-term effects of EHS are mediated by epigenetic reprogramming.

Lots of Samples, Little Time? Try Protein Simple Wes
Lots of Samples, Little Time? Try Protein Simple Wes
Unlike traditional western blots, the Protein Simple Wes at ICBR Monoclonal Antibody runs up to 25 samples in 3 hours flat and gives you quantitative, size-based data including total protein. With a long list of applications, including cancer, SARS-CoV-2, cell & gene therapy, targeted degradation and more, there is no shortage of opportunities.
The same Protein Simple Wes appeared in a recent publication featured in Nature Communications from Dr. Shinichi Someya’s research group in the Depar... Read More
Are BPA Alternatives Safer? New Research Takes a Look
Are BPA Alternatives Safer? New Research Takes a Look
New research conducted at the University of Florida shows that a bisphenol A (BPA) alternative for making plastics, bisphenol S (BPS), could come with its own set of health risks. After past studies revealed the widely used BPA was contaminating food and water supplies, consumers quickly searched for alternatives. Market demand for BPA-free products led to the emergence of BPS as a commonly used bisphenol analog in plastic products.
