Methods for inhibiting cancer cell proliferation and killing cancer cells are disclosed. Such methods comprise treating cancer cells with an indole compound having the structure of formula (I): wherein R is defined herein.

Anticancer treatment methods involving analogs and derivatives of 3-(2-substituted-ethyl) indole compounds

The invention relates to a method of determining whether a live microbe, such as bacteria, is present in a test sample.

Modification of sample preparation to differentiate live and dead bacteria by polymerase chain reaction assay

Disclosed are novel primers for use in the molecular detection of food-threat agents and food-borne pathogens. The primers may be used in combination for the rapid, high-throughput screening PCR-based techniques to simultaneously detect multiple food safety biothreat agents. The multiplex-detection methods have improved sensitivity and specificity for the detection of multiple high-impact food-borne pathogens simultaneously. Real-time PCR assaying techniques using such primers include microarrays and multiplex single-tube arrays, the latter optionally simultaneously with TaqMan probes.
