Deep sequencing reveals important roles of microRNAs in response to drought and salinity stress in cotton
(2015-02)
Drought and salinity are two major environmental factors adversely affecting plant growth and productivity. However, the regulatory mechanism is unknown. In this study, the potential roles of small regulatory microRNAs ...
Deletion of Macrophage Vitamin D Receptor Promotes Insulin Resistance and Monocyte Cholesterol Transport to Accelerate Atherosclerosis in Mice
(2015)
Intense effort has been devoted to understanding predisposition to chronic systemic inflammation because it contributes to cardiometabolic disease. We demonstrate that deletion of the macrophage vitamin D receptor (VDR) ...
De Novo Transcriptome Assembly and Comparative Analysis Elucidate Complicated Mechanism Regulating Astragalus chrysochlorus Response to Selenium Stimuli
(2015)
Astragalus species are medicinal plants that are used in the world for years. Some Astragalus species are known for selenium accumulation and tolerance and one of them is
Astragalus chrysochlorus, a secondary selenium ...
Cross-Generational Valuing Among Peer Academic Librarians
(2015)
This study investigated the skills, knowledge, abilities or dispositions that are most valued and respected by academic librarians, and determined how these qualities might, or might not, be associated with generational ...
Correlation of the National Emergency Medicine M4 Clerkship Examination with USMLE Examination Performance
(2015-12)
Assessment of medical students’ knowledge in clinical settings is complex yet essential to the learning process. Clinical clerkships use various types of written examinations to objectively test medical knowledge within a ...
Emerging roles for the pH-sensing G protein-coupled receptors in response to acidotic stress
(2015)
Protons (hydrogen ions) are the simplest form of ions universally produced by cellular metabolism including aerobic respiration and glycolysis. Export of protons out of cells by a number of acid transporters is essential ...
Insulin/IGF1-PI3K-dependent nucleolar localization of a glycolytic enzyme – phosphoglycerate mutase 2, is necessary for proper structure of nucleolus and RNA synthesis
(2015)
Phosphoglycerate mutase (PGAM), a conserved, glycolytic enzyme has been
found in nucleoli of cancer cells. Here, we present evidence that accumulation of
PGAM in the nucleolus is a universal phenomenon concerning not ...
Increased Long-Term Mortality among Black CABG Patients Receiving Preoperative Inotropic Agents
(2015-07)
The aim of this study was to examine racial differences in long-term mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), stratified by preoperative use of inotropic agents. Black and white patients who required ...
Enhanced Mitochondrial Superoxide Scavenging Does Not Improve Muscle Insulin Action in the High Fat-Fed Mouse
(2015-05)
Improving mitochondrial oxidant scavenging may be a viable strategy for the treatment of insulin resistance and diabetes. Mice overexpressing the mitochondrial matrix isoform of superoxide dismutase (sod2tg mice) and/or ...
Assessment of Snow Status Changes Using L-HH Temporal-Coherence Components at Mt. Dagu, China
(2015)
Multitemporal Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR)
horizontally transmitted and horizontally received (HH) coherence data was decomposed
into temporal-coherence, spatial-coherence, and thermal noise ...
