Gene delivery with PCL nanofiber in vitro
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2013-05-08)Gene therapy has widely been known to be the promising treatment approach for many diseases, whether acquired or inherited through a genetic disorder. Viral and nonviral vectors are the primary research fields of gene ... -
Gene discovery in the hamster: a comparative genomics approach for gene annotation by sequencing of hamster testis cDNAs
(Oduru et al, 2003-06-03)Background Complete genome annotation will likely be achieved through a combination of computer-based analysis of available genome sequences combined with direct experimental characterization of expressed regions of ... -
Gene expression profiling of Macrophomina phaseolina infected Medicago truncatula roots reveals a role for auxin in plant tolerance against the charcoal rot pathogen
(Elsevier, 2012-03-31)The soil-borne necrotrophic fungal pathogen Macrophomina phaseolina causes charcoal rot disease in a wide range of plant species. There are no effective control methods for this disease and no genetic resistance for M. ... -
Genetic analysis of the molecular regulation of electric fields-guided glia migration
(Nature Research, 2020-10-08)In a developing nervous system, endogenous electric field (EF) influence embryonic growth. We reported the EF-directed migration of both rat Schwann cells (SCs) and oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) and explored the ... -
Genetic destabilization of Candida albicans by hydroxyurea
(University of Cambridge * Faculty Press, 1991)Candida albicans is a commensal component of the normal human microflora, but frequently causes infections in persons undergoing treatment for malignancies. The cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of the antineoplastic agent ... -
Genus-wide microsatellite primers for the Goldenrods (Solidago; Asteraceae)
(Botanical Society of America, 2014-04)Premise of the study: Microsatellite primers were developed for studies of polyploid evolution, ecological genetics, conservation genetics, and species delimitation in the genus Solidago . • Methods and Results: Illumina ... -
Geometry, allometry and biomechanics of fern leaf petioles: their significance for the evolution of functional and ecological diversity within the Pteridaceae
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2018-03-07)Herbaceous plants rely on a combination of turgor, ground tissues and geometry for mechanical support of leaves and stems. Unlike most angiosperms however, ferns employ a sub-dermal layer of fibers, known as a hypodermal ... -
Global change effects on plant communities are magnified by time and the number of global change factors imposed
(National Academy of Sciences, 2019-09-03)Global change drivers (GCDs) are expected to alter community structure and consequently, the services that ecosystems provide. Yet, few experimental investigations have examined effects of GCDs on plant community structure ... -
GlycomicsDB - A data integration platform for glycans and their strucutres
(Bentham Open, 2011-04-19)Glycomics is a discipline of biology that deals with the structure and function of glycans (or carbohydrates). Analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) are having a significant ... -
Glycoprotein profiling by electrospray mass spectrometry
(Elsevier, 2004-05)This work compares several different methods of site-specific analysis of glycoproteins using electrospray mass spectrometry. The glycoprotein, oLHα (ovine luteinizing hormone, α-subunit) was chosen as an appropriate example ... -
Glycosylated equine prolactin and its carbohydrate moiety
(Springer New YorkSpringer New York, 1996-07)Glycosylated equine prolactin (G-ePRL) and nonglycosylated ePRL were purified to homogeneity from side fractions obtained during isolation of LH/FSH from horse pituitaries. Both PRL forms were isolated together in high ... -
Glycosylation effects on FSH-FSHR interaction dynamics: a case study of different FSH glycoforms by molecular dynamics simulations
(Public Library of Science, 2015-09-24)The gonadotropin known as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) plays a key role in regulating reproductive processes. Physiologically active FSH is a glycoprotein that can accommodate glycans on up to four asparagine residues, ... -
