Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Microscopy, Acoustic
A scientific tool based on ULTRASONOGRAPHY and used not only for the observation of microstructure in metalwork but also in living tissue. In biomedical application, the acoustic propagation speed in normal and abnormal tissues can be quantified to distinguish their tissue elasticity and other properties.
Rna-induced Silencing Complex
A multicomponent, ribonucleoprotein complex that cleaves specific mRNAs (RNA, MESSENGER) which are targeted for degradation by homologous dsRNAs (RNA, DOUBLE-STRANDED) during the process of RNA INTERFERENCE. It includes siRNA (RNA, SMALL INTERFERING) that is generated from the specific dsRNA.
Protein Kinase C-epsilon
A protein kinase C subtype that was originally characterized as a CALCIUM-independent, serine-threonine kinase that is activated by PHORBOL ESTERS and DIACYLGLYCEROLS. It is targeted to specific cellular compartments in response to extracellular signals that activate G-PROTEIN-COUPLED RECEPTORS; TYROSINE KINASE RECEPTORS; and intracellular protein tyrosine kinase.
Hypoxia-inducible Factor 1, Alpha Subunit
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1, alpha subunit is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that is regulated by OXYGEN availability and is targeted for degradation by VHL TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEIN.
Targeted Gene Repair
A technique which uses synthetic oligonucleotides to direct the cell's inherent DNA repair system to correct a mutation at a specific site in an episome or chromosome.
