Single-cell analysis reveals individual spore responses to simulated space vacuum
(2018-12-04)
Outer space is a challenging environment for all forms of life, and dormant spores of bacteria have been frequently used to study the survival of terrestrial life in a space journey. Previous work showed that outer space ...
Bilirubin inhibits neointima formation and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration
(2012-03-22)
Bilirubin is a heme metabolite generated by the concerted action of the enzymes heme oxygenase and biliverdin reductase. Although long considered a toxic byproduct of heme catabolism, recent preclinical, and clinical studies ...
Computer self-efficacy, anxiety, and learning in online versus face to face medium
(2012-01-01)
The purpose of this research is to examine the relationships between changes to computer self-efficacy (CSE) and computer anxiety and the impact on performance on computer-related tasks in both online and face-to-face ...
A Complicated “Simple” Renal Cyst
(2012-11-16)
Background:
Simple renal cysts are usually asymptomatic and benign. Rarely, symptoms and complications can develop from local mass effect which is illustrated by this case.
Case Presentation:
77 year old Caucasian ...
Novel Combination of Sorafenib and Celecoxib Provides Synergistic Anti-Proliferative and Pro-Apoptotic Effects in Human Liver Cancer Cells
(2013-06-12)
Molecular targeted therapy has shown promise as a treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Sorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor, recently received FDA approval for the treatment of advanced HCC. However, although ...
Dose-Dependent Effects of GLD-2 and GLD-1 on Germline Differentiation and Dedifferentiation in the Absence of PUF-8
(2020-01-24)
PUMILIO/FBF (PUF) proteins have a conserved function in stem cell regulation.
Caenorhabditis elegans PUF-8 protein inhibits the translation of target mRNAs by
interacting with PUF binding element (PBE) in the 30 untranslated ...
Characterization of METTL16 as a cytoplasmic RNA binding protein
(2020-01-15)
mRNA modification by N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is involved in many post-transcriptional
regulation processes including mRNA stability, splicing and promotion of translation.
Accordingly, the recently identified mRNA ...
Nonconsumptive effects in a multiple predator system reduce the foraging efficiency of a keystone predator
(2013-08-01)
Many studies have demonstrated that the nonconsumptive effect (NCE) of predators on prey traits can alter prey demographics in ways that are just as strong as the consumptive effect (CE) of predators. Less well studied, ...
The evolution of photosynthesis in chromist algae through serial endosymbioses
(2014-12-10)
Chromist algae include diverse photosynthetic organisms of great ecological and social importance. Despite vigorous research efforts, a clear understanding of how various chromists acquired photosynthetic organelles has ...
