Obtaining sustainable source of cells or DNA from a single individual has always been a constraint in biomedical research. Generation of lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) as a surrogate for replacement of isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) has substantially accelerated the process of biological investigations. LCLs can be established by transfection of B lymphocytes from peripheral blood with Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), bearing minor genetic and phenotypic alterations....

Aerobic oxidation of carbohydrates by mitochondria has been a great invention of nature, marking a big step in early evolution. This biological system has greatly multiplied the energy production of the cell by supplying this energy to different metabolic units, with increased temporal and spatial specificities. The numerous mitochondrial functions that have emerged and developed along evolution constitute strong signatures of evolution pressures, driving toward higher order, more complex and mo...

Bovine insulin-like growth factor type 2 receptor (IGF2R) is an imprinted gene whose aberrant expression has been implicated in development of abnormal offspring syndrome. Bovine AIRN (AIRN) is expressed in post-implantation fetal tissues coinciding with imprinted expression of IGF2R. Although expression patterns of bovine AIRN have been reported based on PCR analysis, characteristics of this transcript are unknown....
