  • dopamine pump for parkinson's?

    So i have been researching parkinson's disease lately, and at the different therapies. parkinson's is caused by death of cells that make dopamine in the brain. since you can't take dopamine orally because of the BBB, i was thinking an obvious solution would be a dopamine drug pump across the BBB. i know they have done drug pumps in the brain before so it would be possible to make a device, and it seems like it would treat the disease well. it would be pretty invasive, but people with parkinson's already get things like deep brain stimulation and ablation. i could find nothing online about why this wouldnt work, or even if it had been tried before. anybody know anything?

  • DNA microarrays identify specific DNA sequences by:?

    A. GFP-labeled fragments on the array bind with complementary DNA from the sample that

    has been broken into fragments

    B. Sample DNA is broken into fragments, and the double stranded DNA binds

    complementary GFP-labeled DNA sequences on the microarray

    C. Sample DNA is broken into fragments, strands are separated and labeled with GFP.

    These DNA molecules bind to identical DNA sequences on the microarray

    D. Sample DNA is broken into fragments, strands are separated and labeled with GFP, and

    these DNA molecules bind to complementary DNA sequences on the microarray.

    cant for the life of me figure this one out.
