Fabrication and biological analysis of highly porous PEEK bionanocomposites incorporated with carbon and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles for biological applications
(NLM (Medline), 2020-08-06)Bone regeneration for replacing and repairing damaged and defective bones in the human body has attracted much attention over the last decade. In this research, highly porous polyetheretherketone (PEEK)/hydroxyapatite (HA) ... -
Fabrication and characterization of a protein composite conduit for neural regeneration
(American Chemical Society, 2019-09-11)Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes the proliferation of resident microglia and promotes cell migration. Peripheral nerve injury induces the morphological changes and proliferation macrophages. The implantation of neural ... -
Fabrication and characterization of microspheres encapsulating astrocytes for neural regeneration
(American Chemical Society, 2017-07)Astrocytes play a critical role in supporting the normal physiological function of neurons. Recent studies have revealed that astrocyte transplantation can promote axonal regeneration and functional recovery after spinal ... -
Failure of adult recruitment in Quercus buckleyi populations on the Eastern Edwards Plateau, Texas
(The University of Notre Dame, 2002-10)In many semiaridr egions woodlands, savannas and grasslands form an unstable landscape mosaic; the physiognomy of a particular patch in the mosaic changes over time. To explain such temporal and spatial variation in tree ... -
Fauna Entomologica de la Reserva Natural Bosawas, Nicaragua. Xi. Escarabajos (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) Nuevos Para la Fauna de Nicaragua
(León, Nicaragua: Museo Entomológico, Servicio Entomológico Autónomo, 1997)In this note 18 species of Caleoptera Scarabaeidae are reported as new for the fauna of Nicaragua : Pelidnota hirsutiphallica RATCLIFFE & JAMESON, 1989; Isonychus ocellatus BURMEISTER, 1855; Anomala semitonsa BATES, ... -
Feeding evoked by electrical stimulation in collared lizards
(Elsevier, 1988)Feeding was evoked in collared lizards, Crotaphytus collaris, using electrical stimulation of the brain (ESB). Stimulation sites were tested in the forebrain and midbrain of 39 animals. Six stimulation loci were localized ... -
FGDB: Database of follicle stimulating hormone glycans
(Elsevier, 2021)Glycomics, the study of the entire complement of sugars of an organism has received significant attention in the recent past due to the advances made in high throughput mass spectrometry technologies. These analytical ... -
First record of the Leaf Chafer Beetle Leucothyreus suturalis (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) inhabiting termite nests, with notes on its life history
(Oxford University Press, 2015-01)We provide the first record of the leaf chafer beetle Leucothyreus suturalis Castelnau (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) associated with nests of Cornitermes cumulans (Kollar) and Silvestritermes holmgreni (Snyder) ... -
Five new species of Peltonotus Burmeister (Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae: Cyclocephalini) from Southeast Asia
(Center for Systematic Entomology, Inc., 2009-10-25)The Southeast Asian scarab beetle genus Peltonotus Burmeister (Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) is associated with aroid flowers and possesses a unique, articulated maxillary tooth. We describe five new species of Peltonotus: ... -
Floral associations of cyclocephaline scarab beetles
(University of Wisconsin Libraries, 2013-10-01)The scarab beetle tribe Cyclocephalini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) is the second largest tribe of rhinoceros beetles, with nearly 500 described species. This diverse group is most closely associated with early ... -
Follicle-stimulating hormone glycobiology
(NLM (Medline), 2019-06-01)FSH glycosylation varies in two functionally important aspects: microheterogeneity, resulting from oligosaccharide structure variation, and macroheterogeneity, arising from partial FSHβ subunit glycosylation. Although ... -
Follicle-stimulating hormone glycosylation variants distinctly modulate pre-antral follicle growth and survival
(NLM (Medline), 2022-10-06)Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a key endocrine regulator of ovarian function. FSH is secreted as 2 macroglycosylation variants: partially glycosylated FSH (FSH21/18) and fully glycosylated FSH (FSH24). FSH21/18 is ... -
A framework for quantifying the magnitude and variability of community responses to global change drivers
(Ecological Society of America, 2015-12-21)A major challenge in global change ecology is to predict the trajectory and magnitude of community change in response to global change drivers (GCDs). Here, we present a new framework that not only increases the predictive ... -
