Abstract: Novel carrier peptides are described, as well as methods of using the carrier peptides to transport biologically active molecules into a cell, mitochondrion, or nucleus, e.g., by formation of a complex of the carrier peptide non-covalently bound to a biologically active molecule.

Abstract: Methods for identifying differentially expressed mRNA molecules are described, as well as methods for amplifying nucleic acid sequences.

Abstract: A method for the delivery of substances to a cell is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, one administers continuous wave ultrasound or pulse-wave ultrasound to a cell bathed in a cocktail containing macromolecules and monitors the ultrasound using reflected echoes of the ultrasound. One then observes incorporation of the substances into the cell. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, macromolecules are combined in a cocktail solution comprising bubble micronuclei.

Abstract: A grafting material comprising milled bone which has an initial coating of guanidine-extracted bone proteins which are dialyzed from solution. Unbound bone proteins are removed and this augmented milled bone is lyophized. A subsequent coat of anti-coagulated plasma containing plasma proteins is applied to the augmented milled bone. The unbound plasma proteins are removed from the coating by rinsing.

Abstract: A process of grafting material from milled bone is disclosed which comprises augmenting the bone protein of a first quantity of milled bone by dialyzing from solution guanidine-extracted bone proteins from a second quantity of milled bone and adding the extracted proteins to the first quantity of milled bone. Next, unbound proteins are removed and then the augmented milled bone is lypohilized, after which the augmented milled bone is coated with anti-coagulated plasma containing plasma proteins. Any unbound plasma protein is removed from the coating by rinsing.
