Material characterization and bioanalysis of hybrid scaffolds of carbon nanomaterial and polymer nanofibers
(ACS, 2019-03-08)The interconnected porous structures that mimic the extracellular matrix support cell growth in tissue engineering. Nanofibers generated by electrospinning can act as a vehicle for therapeutic cell delivery to a neural ... -
The mechanical and pharmacological regulation of glioblastoma cell migration in 3D matrices
(Wiley, 2019-04)The invasion of glioblastoma is a complex process based on the interactions of tumor cells and the extracellular matrix. Tumors that are engineered using biomaterials are more physiologically relevant than a two-dimensional ... -
Medicago truncatula ecotypes A17 and R108 show variations in jasmonic acid/ethylene induced resistance to Macrophomina phaseolina
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2012)The soilborne necrotrophic fungal pathogen Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid causes charcoal rot disease in many economically important crops. There are no effective control methods for this disease and no completely ... -
Method for characterizing sulfated glycoproteins in a glycosylation site-specific fashion, using ion pairing and tandem mass spectrometry
(American Chemical Society, 2006-01-21)Structural analysis of sulfated glycans is essential in understanding their biological significance. Here, we present a new approach to characterize sulfated glycans present on glycoproteins. The analysis is performed on ... -
Microcarrier bioreactor culture system promotes propagation of human intervertebral disc cells
(Springer-Verlag, 2010-12)Background Cell-based tissue engineering has emerged as a potential therapy for intervertebral disc degeneration. However, propagating and maintaining high quantity and quality of the seed cells remains a challenge. Aims To ... -
Microsphere - encapsulated astrocytes expressing Ngf promote axonal growth
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2016-12)Astrocytes, the most abundant glial cells in the central nervous system, play a critical role in supporting the normal physiological function of neurons. Recent studies have revealed that astrocyte transplantation can ... -
Minimum annual survival estimates of male Cerulean Warblers (setophaga cerulea) in southwestern Michigan
(Wilson Ornithological Society, 2013-06)The Cerulean Warbler (Setophaga cerulea) is a North American landbird showing a high rate of population decline. Estimates of its annual adult survival rate are needed to evaluate its current population status. Annual ... -
Modeling control methods to manage the sylvatic plague in black-tailed prairie dog towns
(Rocky Mountain Mathematics Consortium, 2020-01-24)Black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) are a keystone species of shortgrass and midgrass prairies, and they are essential for successful reintroduction efforts of endangered black-footed ferrets (Mustela nigripes). ... -
Modification of responses of Candida albicans to cisplatin by membrane damaging antimycotic agents
(Wiley-Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 1991-03)The genotoxic, antineoplastic platinum coordination complex, cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II], exists as a positively charged aquated complex in water solution and as a neutral, nonaquated complex in saline ... -
Molecular and phenetic characterization of the bacterial assemblage of Hot Lake, WA, an environment with high concentrations of magnesium sulphate, and its relevance to Mars
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-01)Hot Lake (Oroville, WA) is an athalassohaline epsomite lake that can have precipitating concentrations of MgSO4 salts, mainly epsomite. Little biotic study has been done on epsomite lakes and it was unclear whether microbes ... -
Molecular characterization of HPH-1: a mouse mutant deficient in GTP cyclohydrolase I activity
(Elsevier, 1994-09)GTP cyclohydrolase I catalyzes the initial and rate limiting step of the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin, the cofactor for aromatic amino acid hydroxylation. The mouse mutant HPH-1, previously generated by chemical ... -

Molecules, morphology and Mimeoma scarabs: evolutionary and taxonomic implications for a palm-associated scarab group
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2015-10)Cyclocephaline scarabs, the second largest tribe of rhinoceros beetles, are important pollinators of early-diverging angiosperm families in the tropics. The evolutionary history of cyclocephaline genera is poorly resolved ... -
Mouse models of human phenylketonuria
(PubMed, 1993-08)Phenylketonuria (PKU) results from a deficiency in phenylalanine hydroxylase, the enzyme catalyzing the conversion of phenylalanine (PHE) to tyrosine. Although this inborn error of metabolism was among the first in humans ... -
Movement with meaning: integrating information into meta-ecology
