Targeting vulnerable life-stages of Sericea Lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) with prescribed burns

Wong, Bryant M.; Houseman, Gregory R.; Hinman, Sarah E.; Foster, Bryan L. (WEED SCI SOC AMER, 2012-10)

There is growing interest in whether invasive species may be controlled by utilizing management strategies that target vulnerable life stages. We manipulated the timing of fire and measured its effects on sericea lespedeza ...
Titanium Particle-Challenged Osteoblasts Promote Osteoclastogenesis and Osteolysis in a Murine Model of Periprosthestic Osteolysis

Jiang, Yunpeng; Jia, Tanghong; Gong, Weiming; Wooley, Paul H.; Yang, Shang-You (Elsevier, 2013-03-19)

The current study investigates the interactive behavior of titanium alloy particle-challenged osteoblastic bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and macrophage lineage cells in a murine knee-prosthesis failure model. BMSCs ...
Tolerogenic dendritic cells and rheumatoid arthritis: current status and perspectives

Zhao, Yunpeng; Zhang, Aijun; Du, Hongxia; Guo, Shuya; Ning, Bin; Yang, Shang-You (Springer, 2012-04)

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the influxation of synovia and synovial compartments with immune cells including dendritic cells (DCs). DCs that induce autoimmune tolerance are ...
Toxicokinetics of DDE and 2-chlorobiphenyl in Chironomus tentans

Lydy, Michael J.; Lasater, J. L.; Landrum, Peter F. (Springer New York, 2000-02)

Uptake, biotransformation, and elimination rates for DDE and 2-chlorobiphenyl (2-CB) were examined using fourth instar midge larvae (Chironomus tentans) under a water-only exposure. A two-compartment model that included ...
Toxicokinetics of organic contaminants in Hyalella azteca

Nuutinen, Susanna; Landrum, Peter F.; Schuler, Lance J.; Kukkonen, Jussi V. K.; Lydy, Michael J. (Springer New York, 2003-05)

Uptake, biotransformation, and elimination rates were determined for pentachlorophenol (PCP), methyl parathion (MP), fluoranthene (FU), and 2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (HCBP) using juvenile Hyalella azteca under ...
Trafficking of the Follitropin Receptor

Ulloa-Aguirre, Alfredo; Dias, James A.; Bousfield, George; Huhtaniemi, Ilpo; Reiter, Eric (Elsevier, 2013)

The follitropin or follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) belongs to a highly conserved subfamily of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily and is mainly expressed in specific cells in the gonads. As any ...
Truncated equine LH beta and asparagine(56)-deglycosylated equine LH alpha combine to produce a potent FSH antagonist

Butnev, Vladimir Y.; Singh, V.; Nguyen, Van T.; Bousfield, George R. (BioScientifica Ltd., 2002-03)

Hybrid hormone preparations were prepared by combining intact and Asn(56)-deglycosylated (N(56)dg) equine (e) LH or FSH alpha subunit preparations with truncated, des(121-149)eLH beta (eLH beta t), immunopurified, intact ...
Tryptophan and serotonin metabolism after sustained tryptophan infusion

Peters, Ralph I.; Buhr, Bruce R. (Elsevier, 1984)

In an attempt to elucidate the effects of sustained administration of tryptophan on serotonin synthesis and turnover in mammalian brain, mini-osmotic pumps containing tryptophan or vehicle were implanted in albino mice for ...
Unidirectional internuclear transfer of linked genes in heterokaryons of Candida albicans

Sarachek, Alvin; Lovchik, J. A. (Wiley - V C H Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 1989)

Nutritionally balanced heterokaryons of the naturally diploid, asexual yeast, Candida albicans are produced by fusing protoplasts of complementing auxotrophic strains. Spontaneous unidirectional internuclear transfers of ...
Use of fecundity measured directly throughout the breeding season to test a source-sink demographic model

Rogers, Christopher M. (2011-12-01)

Populations of landbirds (bird species that occupy terrestrial habitats for most of their life cycle) are declining throughout North America (north of Mexico) and Europe, yet little is known about how demography is driving ...
Using high-efficiency mouse germline mutagenesis to investigate complex biological phenomena: genetic diseases, behavior, and development

McDonald, J. David (Royal Society of Medicine Press, 1995-09)

A valuable approach to investigating a biological process is to study the effect of mutations in the involved genes. By studying a diverse set of such mutations, one can gain important insights into the roles that the given ...
Variations for susceptibilities to ultraviolet induced cellular inactivation and gene segregation among protoplast fusion hybrids of Candida albicans

Sarachek, Alvin; Henderson, Lori A. (University of Cambridge * Faculty Press, 1988)

Hybrids of the naturally diploid, asexual and opportunistically pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans, can be obtained artificially by protoplast fusion. Evidence is presented that gene conversion and reciprocal recombination ...
Video microscopy: system calibration for densitometric analysis

Lavia, L. A. (Informa Healthcare, 1989-10)
West Nile virus antibodies in permanent resident and overwintering migrant birds in south-central Kansas

Shelite, Thomas R.; Rogers, Christopher M.; Litzner, Brandon R.; Johnson, R. Roy; Schneegurt, Mark A. (Mary Ann Liebert, 2008-06)

We conducted serological studies, using epitope-blocking ELISAs directed at West Nile virus (WNV) and flavivirus antibodies, of wild birds in south-central Kansas, the first for this state, in the winters of 2003-04 through ...
