ACTH - Adrenocoticotropic Hormone: For Human Use?

When people think of hormones, they tend to think all are for human consumption for some expected growth outcome or another. The truth is that most hormones people search for are test kits only for detecting certain hormones within the body.

ACTH is produced by the pituitary gland and is a hormone that stimulates the release of adrenaline from the adrenal glands. When this hormone is present, it causes the release of cortisol. Man made adrenocorticotropic hormone is called cosyntropin. The ACTH test is used to determine how well adrenal glands respond to the hormone for the release of cortisol, so it is then not something made for human consumption but most commonly found in an ELISA kit - used for testing for the presence of a particular hormone, protein or just about any other substance commonly tested for in research laboratories. The primary use for such kits is medical and can be ordered from a variety of sources including MyBioSource.

What is mSHH? A Guide to Biotech Semantics and ProteinS

Here’s a uniprot summary for mSHH - (Sonic HedgeHog) - no, not the game!

Function: Binds to the patched (PTC) receptor, which functions in association with smoothened (SMO), to activate the transcription of target genes. In the absence of SHH, PTC represses the constitutive signaling activity of SMO. Also regulates another target, the gli oncogene. Intercellular signal essential for a variety of patterning events during development: signal produced by the notochord that induces ventral cell fate in the neural tube and somites, and the polarizing signal for patterning of the anterior-posterior axis of the developing limb bud. Displays both floor plate- and motor neuron-inducing activity. The threshold concentration of N-product required for motor neuron induction is 5-fold lower than that required for floor plate induction.

Antibodies are the Future of Biotech - and Survival on Planet Earth!

Did you know that antibodies are the result of your immune system acting intelligently? When a pathogen is introduced into your system (bodily fluids), then a B cell finds the antigen. After that, your immune system grabs ahold of it like a combination lock and if you have the combo, you are able to neutralize the pathogen because your body has the proper antibody. If not, then you might come down with the symptoms of the particular sickness. That’s awesome when you think about how immunizations are made! Interested in a career in biotechnology? You might just be glad you checked it out.

My LASIK experience: the ups and downs

Hi folks, I am writing this post without my glasses on which is a new thing for me. I recently got LASIK in Detroit where my mom got hers done and so far so good. I haven't thrown out the glasses just yet, they're sitting right in front of me but I haven't used them for about a month.

Pain After LASIK

I knew that I would have some "discomfort" but it ended up being downright burning for about a day and a half with eyes watering and lots of eyedrops, not to mention blurred vision ! But all that went away after about two days with no other pain.

Better than 20/20

I had my eyes checked and they said I'm now 20/16, or I see at 20 fee away what normally people would have to be 16 feet away from. This is so awesome. How long does LASIK last and do you need to go back later in life? I know it's a newer procedure so the first generation of people who got LASIK should be able to comment on the long term effectiveness... anyone?
