Abstract: Mechanisms nourish stem cells for organ regeneration and prevent alcohol related diseases such as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Liver Sclerosis. These stem cell nutrients have been found to positively affect the skin, liver, brain neurons, pancreas, and the GI tract. Cholesterol supplementation prevents fetal alcohol spectrum defects (FASD) in alcohol-exposed zebra fish embryos. Using the zebra fish model, alcohol was found to interfere with embryonic development by disrupting cholesterol-dependent activation of a critical signaling molecule, sonic hedgehog (Shh). Cholesterol supplementation of the alcohol-exposed embryos restored the functionality of the molecular pathway and prevented development of FASD-like defects. Novel biomarkers were identified for diagnosing alcohol related diseases by lipid chemical analysis and Raman Spectroscope.

Abstract: The present invention obtains from the discovery that combining traditional UV pigments, organic chemicals, or both, combined with NA, creates a broad spectrum UV absorbing additive that is much more efficient than using any of the ingredients by themselves. Methods for producing NA-coated particles as a UV protection additive to paints, fiberglass, plastic, polymers, siloxanes/silicates/reactive silanols, sealants or other film forming coatings or penetrating fluids and solid articles are contemplated in this invention as well as the coatings, sealants and other protectants and the coated and/or finished articles themselves.

Abstract: An mRNA is amplified by (a) binding a first primer to a target mRNA, the first primer comprising, in the 5? to 3? direction, a first known segment and an oligo T segment; (b) transcribing a cDNA from said target mRNA by elongation of said first primer with reverse transcriptase; and then (c) linking a second known segment to the 3? terminus of said cDNA.

Abstract: The use of nucleic acid-containing materials, such as deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid, as ultraviolet radiation filters for specifically absorbing genetic hazard ultraviolet radiation by the interposition of a nucleic acid-containing barrier between a source of UV radiation and a living organism.
