Advanced immunostaining approaches to study early male germ cell development
(2018-02-09)
Mammalian male germ cell development takes place in the testis under the influence of a variety of somatic cells and an incompletely defined paracrine and endocrine influences. Since it is not recapitulated well in vitro, ...
Designing the Learning Experiences in Serious Games: The Overt and the Subtle—The Virtual Clinic Learning Environment
(2018-06-29)
: Serious Games are becoming more common in the educational setting and must pass
muster with both students and instructors for their learning experience and knowledge building.
The Virtual Clinic Learning Environment ...
Deletion of BmoR affects the expression of genes related to thiol/disulfide balance in Bacteroides fragilis
(2018-09-26)
Bacteroides fragilis, an opportunistic pathogen and commensal bacterium in the gut, is one the most
aerotolerant species among strict anaerobes. However, the mechanisms that control gene regulation in
response to oxidative ...

(2018-04-30)
Objective: To investigate the psychometric properties of the activities of daily living (ADL) instrument used in the analysis of
Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA) dataset.
Methods: A retrospective study was ...
Effect of Increased Damping in Subordinate Oscillator Arrays
(2018)
Previous literature has shown that large structures with a significant number
of smaller attached structures exhibit much higher apparent damping than was predicted
by models. Further research into this effect led to the ...
Desiccation tolerance in Acinetobacter baumannii is mediated by the two-component response regulator BfmR
(2018-10-11)
For the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii, desiccation tolerance is thought to
contribute significantly to the persistence of these bacteria in the healthcare environment.
We investigated the ability of A. ...
Delineation and mapping of coastal shark habitat within a shallow lagoonal estuary
(2018-04-12)
Estuaries function as important nursery and foraging habitats for many coastal species, including highly migratory sharks. Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, is one of the largest estuaries in the continental United States and ...
TEAM-UP for quality: a cluster randomized controlled trial protocol focused on preventing pressure ulcers through repositioning frequency and precipitating factors
(2018-02-20)
Background: Pressure ulcers/injuries (PrUs), a critical concern for nursing homes (NH), are responsible for chronic wounds, amputations, septic infections, and premature deaths. PrUs occur most commonly in older adults and ...
The 3-Phosphoinositide-Dependent Protein Kinase 1 Inhibits Rod Photoreceptor Development
(2018-10-10)
The transition of rod precursor cells to post-mitotic rod photoreceptors can be promoted by extrinsic factors such as insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF- 1), which regulates phosphatidylinositide concentration, and consequently ...
Temperature Influences Herbivory and Algal Biomass in the Galápagos Islands
(2018-08-17)
Temperature can influence trophic interactions via predictable effects on the metabolism of ecothermic consumers. Under some conditions, warming should increase top–down control, and trophic transfer rates, leading to ...
