PhotoGal4: A Versatile Light-Dependent Switch for Spatiotemporal Control of Gene Expression in Drosophila Explants

Summary: We present here PhotoGal4, a phytochrome B-based optogenetic switch for fine-tuned spatiotemporal control of gene expression in Drosophila explants.This switch integrates the light-dependent interaction between phytochrome B and PIF6 from plants with regulatory elements from the yeast Gal4/UAS system.We found RTR that PhotoGal4 efficiently

Facial Edema Evaluation Using Digital Image Processing

The main objective of the facial edema evaluation is providing the needed information to determine the effectiveness of the Serving Tray Liners/Mats anti-inflammatory drugs in development.This paper presents a system that measures the four main variables present in facial edemas: trismus, blush (coloration), temperature, and inflammation.Measuremen
