Re-examining the premise of isobaric collisions and a novel method to measure the chiral magnetic effect
(2019-01-22)
In these proceedings we show that the premise of the isobaric and collisions to search for the chiral magnetic effect (CME) may not hold as originally anticipated due to large uncertainties in the isobaric nuclear ...
Recent introductions reveal differential susceptibility to parasitism across an evolutionary mosaic
(2019-08-14)
Parasitism can represent a potent agent of selection, and introduced parasites have
the potential to substantially alter their new hosts' ecology and evolution. While sig‐
nificant impacts have been reported for parasites ...
Using Gamification and Social Incentives to Increase Physical Activity and Related Social Cognition among Undergraduate Students in Shanghai, China
(2019-03-08)
Gamification and social incentives are promising strategies to increase the effectiveness of web-based physical activity (PA) interventions by improving engagement. In this study, we designed a PA intervention integrating ...
Variation in pigmentation gene expression is associated with distinct aposematic color morphs in the poison frog Dendrobates auratus
(2019-04-18)
Background:
Color and pattern phenotypes have clear implications for survival and reproduction in many species. However, the mechanisms that produce this coloration are still poorly characterized, especially at the genomic ...
Voluntary Restoration: Mitigation's Silent Partner in the Quest to Reverse Coastal Wetland Loss in the USA
(2019-08-28)
Coastal ecosystems are under pressure from a vast array of anthropogenic stressors, including development and climate change, resulting in significant habitat losses globally. Conservation policies are often implemented ...
Validity and reliability of telephone administration of the patient-specific functional scale for the assessment of recovery from snakebite envenomation
(2019-12-13)
Objectives:
Although more than 1.8 million people survive snakebite envenomation each year, their recovery is understudied. Obtaining long-term follow-up is challenging in both high- and low-resource settings. The ...
Triclosan: An Update on Biochemical and Molecular Mechanisms
(2019-05-02)
Triclosan (TCS) is a synthetic, chlorinated phenolic antimicrobial agent commonly used in commercial and healthcare products.
Items made with TCS include soaps, deodorants, shampoos, cosmetics, textiles, plastics, surgical ...
Use of Multifactorial Treatments to Address the Challenge of Translating Experimental Myocardial Infarct Reduction Strategies
(2019-03-15)
Myocardial tissue damage that occurs during an ischemic event leads to a spiraling
deterioration of cardiac muscle structural and functional integrity. Reperfusion is the only known
efficacious strategy and is the most ...
Transport of Anthocyanins and other Flavonoids by the Arabidopsis ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter AtABCC2
(2019-01-24)
Flavonoids have important developmental, physiological, and ecological roles in plants and are primarily stored in the large central vacuole. Here we show that both an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter(s) and an ...
The proteome of extracellular vesicles released by clastic cells differs based on their substrate
(2019-07-10)
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from osteoclasts are important regulators in intercellular communication. Here, we investigated the proteome of EVs from clastic cells plated on plastic
(clasts), bone (osteoclasts) and dentin ...
