This course will consist of a weekly journal club that will meet to discuss published journal articles related to stem cells. The focus will be primarily on clinical applications of stem cells, both adult and embryonic. Journal articles will be selected on a weekly basis to facilitate review of the most recent work in the field. Faculty, staff, post-doctoral fellows, and students from labs conducting stem cell research at the Veterinary School will attend and participate in the discussion. Offered for both letter and S/U grading. May be repeated in separate terms to a maximum of 2 undergraduate hours or 6 graduate hours.

Gives participants the background information and hands-on experience in the methodologies necessary to utilize cloned genes for the detection and quantitation of specific mRNA transcripts in RNA extracted from tissue or cell culture samples. Methodologies covered will include: recombinant plasmid propagation, cDNA probe isolation and isotopic labeling, RNA isolation, Poly A+ mRNA selection, gel separation and transfer of RNA to a membrane (Northern blot), hybridization of specific gene probes to membrane bound RNA (Northern hybridization), detection and quantitation of hybridization signal. These basic methodologies are widely applicable to different experimental systems. They allow an investigator to monitor the effects of physiological manipulations, to animals or cultured cells, at the molecular level. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
