Top-down pulses reduce prey population sizes and persistence
(2018-06-19)
Resource pulses are well documented and have important consequences for population dynamics relative to continuous inputs. However, pulses of top-down factors (e.g. predation) are less explored and appreciated in the ...
Variation in pigmentation gene expression is associated with distinct aposematic color morphs in the poison frog Dendrobates auratus
(2019-04-18)
Abstract
Background
Color and pattern phenotypes have clear implications for survival and reproduction in many species. However, the mechanisms that produce this coloration ...
Pgrmc1 Knockout Impairs Oocyte Maturation in Zebrafish
(2018-09-24)
Recent investigations suggest progestin receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) associates with and transports a wide range of molecules such as heme, cytochromes P450, steroids with 21 carbons, membrane progestin receptor ...
Angioedema after thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator: An airway emergency.
(2019-01-19)
Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA), an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin resulting in fibrinolysis, is used for the treatment of acute ischemic strokes. The use of this medication ...
Sensor selection to improve estimates of particulate matter concentration from a low-cost network
(2018-09-08)
Deployment of low-cost sensors in the field is increasingly popular. However, each sensor requires on-site calibration to increase the accuracy of the measurements. We established a laboratory method, the Average Slope ...
N6-methyladenosine contributes to cellular phenotype in a genetically-defined model of breast cancer progression
(2018-07-27)
The mRNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is involved in many post-transcriptional regulatory processes including mRNA stability and translational efficiency. However, it is also imperative to correlate these processes ...
Emerging role of immune checkpoint blockade in pancreatic cancer
(2018-11-07)
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) with programmed cell death protein-1(PD-1)/programmed death ligand -1(PD-L1) antibodies has revolutionized the management of several cancers, especially non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma, ...
TNM cancer staging: can it help develop a novel staging system for type 2 diabetes?
(2018-11-28)
Type 2 diabetes (DM2) constitutes 90%–95% of the diabetes cases and is increasing at an alarming rate in the world. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 29 million people in the ...
