Omega Canine Emulsion combines the benefits of Omega-3, Carotene, and Vitamin E for the benefit of man’s best friend. The product comes in a squeeze bottle, making dispensing the emulsion onto food easy. The product has a smoky flavour, which is liked by canines. Reports by owners claim that it

South Africa harbours the highest number of rape incidents in the world, and sexual assault and rape cases in the entire SADC region are estimated at a minimum of 55 000 cases per year. Crime scene investigations utilise DNA technology on a regular basis. In cases of rape or sexual abuse, male

Fly ash is a waste by-product generated by coal-fired electricity power stations. Due to its environmental impact, there is a growing need for safe and sustainable methods of fly ash disposal. One effective approach is the beneficiation of fly ash through the production of zeolites—a class of

The risk of occupational exposure to aerosolised bio-contaminants (potentially pathogenic viruses, bacteria and yeasts) in dentistry and the dental office environment has been highlighted in the literature for many years. Removal of these aerosols would decrease oral healthcare workers' risk of

The collection and preservation of biological material for further DNA and RNA analysis are critical to many biomedical fields, from medical diagnostics to forensics and biodiversity conservation. The Forensic DNA lab at the University of the Western Cape has developed a novel, proprietary DNA

Surfactants are amphipathic molecules with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties that partition preferentially at the interface between fluid phases, such as oil/water or air/water interfaces. Such characteristics confer excellent detergency, emulsifying, foaming, and dispersing traits, which

HIV/AIDS continues to disproportionately impact sub-Saharan Africa, where it remains a leading cause of illness and death among children. Paediatric HIV progresses at an alarming rate, with 20–30% of untreated infants succumbing to the disease within their first year. Without timely intervention

This invention relates to a single-cell assay designed to determine how chromosomal contacts influence the transcriptional activity of genes of interest. It also includes methods for silencing gene expression by disrupting gene regulatory elements involved in these chromosomal interactions.

The present invention relates to methods for modulating the production of ELR+ proinflammatory chemokines in a subject or a cell using either UMLiLO IncRNA inhibitors to decrease production of ELR+ proinflammatory cytokines or using UMLILO IncRNA to increase the production of ELR+ proinflammatory

The present invention relates to methods for the identification of anti-HIV miRNAs and anti-HIV pharmaceutical compounds using high-throughput screening methods, comprising: transfecting reporter cells with a panel of miRNAs, infecting the reporter cells with HIV, screening the cells to identify

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for modulating the control of apoptosis, specifically for modulating the interaction between hnRNP-K and lincRNA-p21 to induce or prevent apoptosis in the cell.

This technology offers a next-generation creatine powder formulated with food-grade components that enable instant mixing in water and long-term shelf stability. When added to liquid, the powder disperses rapidly and forms a clear, grit-free solution within seconds, avoiding the sedimentation and
