Identification of twelve O-glycosylation sites in equine chorionic gonadotropin beta and equine luteinizing hormone ss by solid-phase Edman degradation
(Society for the Study of Reproduction, 2001-01)The O-glycosylation sites for equine LHss (eLHss) and eCGss were identified by solid-phase Edman degradation of four glycopeptides derived from the C-terminal region. Both subunits were O-glycosylated at the same 12 ... -
Identifying multiple origins of polyploid taxa: A multilocus study of the hybrid cloak fern (Astrolepis integerrima; Pteridaceae).
(BOTANICAL SOC AMER INC, 2012-11)Premise of the study: Molecular studies have shown that multiple origins of polyploid taxa are the rule rather than the exception. To understand the distribution and ecology of polyploid species and the evolutionary ... -
Il-21 vector-tethering nanofibers for cancer treatment including osteosarcoma
(Society for Biomaterials, 2019-05)The first line of treatment regime for bone cancers including osteosarcoma is surgical removal of the primary tumor, scaffold and/or bone fillers are required to fill the bone void during the surgery. Development and ... -
Immunochemical mapping of human lutropin: I. Delineation of a conformational antigenic determinant
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd., 1994-05)Lutropin (LH), follitropin (FSH), thyrotropin (TSH) and choriogonadotropin (CG) are assembled of two non-covalently alpha (α) and beta (β) subunits. We studied the discontinuous antigenic regions recognized by a monoclonal ... -
Immunochemical studies of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG), eCG alpha, and eCG beta
(The Endocrine Society, 1993-01-01)The equine (e) placental glycoprotein hormone eCG plays a critical though not completely understood role during the first trimester of gestation in mares. In the present work, we have developed immunoradiometric assays ... -
Improved axonal regeneration of transected spinal cord mediated by multichannel collagen conduits functionalized with neurotrophin-3 gene
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-12)Functionalized biomaterial scaffolds targeted at improving axonal regeneration by enhancing guided axonal growth provide a promising approach for the repair of spinal cord injury. Collagen neural conduits provide structural ... -
Improved tissue-engineered bone regeneration by endothelial cell mediated vascularization
(Elsevier, 2009-02)Natural bone growth greatly depends on the precedent vascular network that supplies oxygen and essential nutrients and removes metabolites. Likewise, it is crucial for tissue-engineered bone to establish a vascular network ... -

In Vitro Impact of FSH Glycosylation Variants on FSH Receptor-stimulated Signal Transduction and Functional Selectivity
(Oxford University Press, 2020-05)FSH exists as different glycoforms that differ in glycosylation of the hormone-specific β-subunit. Tetra-glycosylated FSH (FSH24) and hypo-glycosylated FSH (FSH18/21) are the most abundant glycoforms found in humans. ... -
In vivo and in vitro impact of carbohydrate variation on human follicle-stimulating hormone function
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2018-05-09)Human follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) exhibits both macro-and microheterogeneity in its carbohydrate moieties. Macroheterogeneity results in three physiologically relevant FSH beta subunit variants, two that possess a ... -
Increased production of beta-lactamase under anaerobic conditions in some strains of Escherichia coli
(American Society for Microbiology, 1979-07-25)A simple biological assay to detect beta-lactamase activity exhibited by selected cultures of Escherichia coli was used to test enzyme production in cells incubated aerobically and anaerobically. Anaerobic incubation ... -
Increased toxicity to invertebrates associated with a mixture of atrazine and organophosphate insecticides
(John Wiley & Sons, 2002-07)This study examined the joint toxicity of atrazine and three organophosphate (OP) insecticides (chlorpyrifos, methyl parathion, and diazinon) exposed to Hyalella azteca and Musca domestica. A factorial design was used to ... -
Increased urotensin I and II immunoreactivity in the urophysis of Gillichthys mirabilis transferred to low salinity water
(Academic Press, 1991-09)The function of the fish caudal neurosecretory system is uncertain, but a role in osmoregulation has been suggested by many investigators. Our objective was to determine if acclimation to water of different salinity has ... -
Indirect interaction between two native thistles mediated by an invasive exotic floral herbivore
(Springer, 2005-12)Spatial and temporal variation in insect floral herbivory is common and often important. Yet, the determinants of such variation remain incompletely understood. Using 12 years of flowering data and 4 years of biweekly ... -
Inexpensive and safe DNA gel electrophoresis using household materials
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2012-05)Gel electrophoresis is the single most important molecular biology technique and it is central to life sciences research, but it is often too expensive for the secondary science classroom or homeschoolers. A simple safe ... -
Initial characterization of equine inhibin
(Society for the Study of Reproduction, 1994-07-01)Inhibin has been characterized from a number of mammals; however, it has not been extensively studied in horses. Western blot analysis was used to examine the size heterogeneity of equine inhibin a- and [S-subunits. The ... -
Injectable hydrogel provides growth-permissive environment for human nucleus pulposus cells
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2016-02)Degeneration of intervertebral discs (IVDs) results in an overall alteration of the biomechanics of the spinal column and becomes a major cause of low back pain. In this study, an injectable hydrogel composite is fabricated ... -
Inositol phosphate stimulation by LH requires the entire alpha Asn56 oligosaccharide
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2003-01-31)Lentil lectin-bound, fucose-enriched hTSH was reported to stimulate both cAMP and inositol phosphate (IP) intracellular signalling pathways, whereas fucose-depleted hTSH stimulated only the cAMP pathway. Gonadotropins ... -
Insect herbivore effects on resource allocation to shoots and roots in Lespedeza capitata
(Springer, 2012-05)Aboveground and belowground processes in plants are intimately linked because the resources that must be divided among growth, maintenance, and development of essential structures are finite. To determine how aboveground ...
