Production and Composition of Pyrogenic Dissolved Organic Matter From a Logical Series of Laboratory-Generated Chars
(2018-04-24)
Though pyrogenic carbon (pyC) has been assumed to be predominantly stable, degradation and transfers of pyC between various pools have been found to influence its cycling and longevity in the environment. Dissolution via ...
Progestin and Nuclear Progestin Receptor Are Essential for Upregulation of Metalloproteinase in Zebrafish Preovulatory Follicles
(2018-09-18)
Ovulation requires proteinases to promote the rupture of ovarian follicles. However, the identity of these proteinases remains unclear. In our previous studies using RNA-seq analysis of differential expressed genes, we ...
Preclinical evaluation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in animal models of multiple sclerosis
(2018-01-03)
The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is an intracellular signalling pathway that regulates cell activation. proliferation, metabolism and apoptosis. Increasing body of data suggests that alterations in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway may ...
Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling of Students’ Dietary Intentions/Behaviors, BMI, and the Healthfulness of Convenience Stores
(2018-10-23)
When dietary behaviors are habitual, intentions are low, and environmental cues, such as the consumer food environment, might guide behavior. How might intentions to eat healthily and ultimately actual dietary behaviors, ...
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 ...
Necrotizing enterocolitis leads to disruption of tight junctions and increase in gut permeability in a mouse model
(2018-11-27)
Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a leading cause of death in preterm infants. Neonates weighing <1500 grams are at the highest risk for acquiring NEC, with a prevalence of nearly 7-10%, mortality up to 30%, ...
MucR binds multiple target sites in the promoter of its own gene and is a heat-stable protein: Is MucR a H-NS-like protein?
(2018-03-31)
The protein MucR from Brucella spp. is involved in the expression regulation of genes necessary for host interaction and infection. MucR is a member of the Ros/MucR family, which comprises prokaryotic zinc-finger proteins ...
Near-infrared spectroscopy detects age-related differences in skeletal muscle oxidative function: promising implications for geroscience
(2018-02)
Age is the greatest risk factor for chronic disease and is associated with a marked decline in functional capacity and quality of life. A key factor contributing to loss of function in older adults is the decline in skeletal ...
