Complex N-Glycans Influence the Spatial Arrangement of Voltage Gated Potassium Channels in Membranes of Neuronal-Derived Cells
(2015-09-08)
The intrinsic electrical properties of a neuron depend on expression of voltage gated potassium (Kv) channel isoforms, as well as their distribution and density in the plasma membrane. Recently, we showed that N-glycosylation ...
Spatial and temporal translational control of germ cell mRNAs mediated by the eIF4E isoform IFE-1
(2015)
Regulated mRNA translation is vital for germ cells to produce new
proteins in the spatial and temporal patterns that drive gamete
development. Translational control involves the de-repression of
stored mRNAs and their ...
Nuclear progestin receptor (Pgr) knockouts in zebrafish demonstrate role for Pgr in ovulation but not in rapid non-genomic steroid mediated meiosis resumption
(2015)
Progestins, progesterone derivatives, are the most critical signaling steroid for initiating final
oocyte maturation (FOM) and ovulation, in order to advance fully-grown immature oocytes
to become fertilizable eggs in ...
An Extended Fourier Approach to Improve the Retrieved Leaf Area Index (LAI) in a Time Series from an Alpine Wetland
(2015)
An extended Fourier approach was presented to improve the retrieved leaf area
index (LAIr) of herbaceous vegetation in a time series from an alpine wetland. The retrieval
was performed from the Aqua MODIS 8-day composite ...
Bias Within: Examining the Role of Cultural Competence Perceptions in Mammography Adherence
(2015)
Breast cancer mortality has affected African American women at a disproportionate rate. The purpose of this research was
to assess how health professionals’ cultural competence contributes to African American women’s ...
Obesity in a model of gpx4 haploinsufficiency uncovers a causal role for lipid-derived aldehydes in human metabolic disease and cardiomyopathy
(2015)
Objective: Lipid peroxides and their reactive aldehyde derivatives (LPPs) have been linked to obesity-related pathologies, but whether they have a causal role has remained unclear. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) is a ...
Protein Kinase A Governs Oxidative Phosphorylation Kinetics and Oxidant Emitting Potential at Complex I
(2015)
he mitochondrial electron transport system (ETS) is responsible for setting and
maintaining both the energy and redox charges throughout the cell. Reversible
phosphorylation of mitochondrial proteins, particularly via ...
Remote Antimicrobial Stewardship in Community Hospitals
(2015-11)
Antimicrobial stewardship has become standard practice at university medical centers, but the practice is more difficult to implement in remote community hospitals that lack infectious diseases trained practitioners. ...
