Pahhph-5: a mouse mutant deficient in phenylalanine hydroxylase
(PubMed, 1990-03)Mutant mice exhibiting heritable hyperphenylalaninemia have been isolated after ethylnitrosourea mutagenesis of the germ line. We describe one mutant pedigree in which phenylalanine hydroxylase activity is severely deficient ... -
Partially deglycosylated equine LH preferentially activates beta-arrestin-dependent signaling at the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor
(The Endocrine Society, 2010-03)Deglycosylated FSH is known to trigger poor Gαs coupling while efficiently binding its receptor. In the present study, we tested the possibility that a deglycosylated equine LH (eLHdg) might be able to selectively activate ... -
Particulate and ion forms of cobalt–chromium challenged preosteoblasts promote osteoclastogenesis and osteolysis in a murine model of prosthesis failure
(Wiley, 2018-10-25)This study investigated the interactive behavior of the particulate and ion forms of cobalt–chromium (Co–Cr) alloy challenged preosteoblasts during the process of prosthetic implant loosening. Preosteoblasts were challenged ... -
Patterns in beaver herbivory in south-central Kansas riparian woodlands
(Kansas Academy of Science, 2010-09)Beaver (Castor canadensis) herbivory can strongly affect the physiognomy and successional dynamics of forests and woodlands near bodies of water. In the central and southern Great Plains, the riparian zones that occur in ... -
Phenological synchrony affects interaction strength of an exotic weevil with Platte thistle, a native host plant
(2004-04-01)Phenological synchrony of a consumer population with its resource populations is expected to affect interaction intensity. We quantified phenological variation and synchrony of populations of an invasive Eurasian flower ... -
Phenotypically plastic responses to predation risk are temperature dependent
(Springer Verlag, 2019-11)Predicting how organisms respond to climate change requires that we understand the temperature dependence of fitness in relevant ecological contexts (e.g., with or without predation risk). Predation risk often induces ... -

Phylogeny of the genus Yumtaax Boucher (Coleoptera, Passalidae, Proculini): taxonomic and evolutionary implications with descriptions of three new species
(Pensoft Publishers, 2017-04-10)Yumtaax Boucher (Coleoptera: Passalidae) is an endemic genus from the temperate sierras of Mexico and includes six narrowly distributed species. Yumtaax species have been assigned to several genera of Passalidae throughout ... -
The PKU mouse project: its history, potential and implications
(1994-12)To produce genetic-based animal models for the human disease phenylketonuria (PKU), we treated mice with the powerful germline mutagen ethylnitrosourea and screened the progeny of these animals for the symptom hyperpheny ... -
Plant community recovery following Sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) removal: testing for a soil legacy effect
(Blackwell, 2020-04-22)Restoration of plant communities can be hindered by the legacy of previously established invaders, despite their physical removal from the community. Current evidence, mainly built on short-term greenhouse experiments, ... -
Plastid DNA sequence diversity in wild grapevine samples (Vitis vinifera subsp sylvestris) from the Caucasus region
(JKI-Institut Rebenzuchtung, 2012)DNA sequence diversity was investigated in three plastid regions (the trnH-psbA intergenic spacer, accD-psal intergenic spacer and the rpl16 intron) in a group of 40 wild grape (Vitis vinifera subsp. sylvestris) samples ... -
Polymeric biomaterials for wound healing applications: a comprehensive review
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022-06-19)Chronic wounds have been a global health threat over the past few decades, requiring urgent medical and research attention. The factors delaying the wound-healing process include obesity, stress, microbial infection, aging, ... -
Polymethylmethacrylate and titanium alloy particles activate peripheral monocytes during periprosthetic inflammation and osteolysis
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2011-05)We investigated the interactions of particulate PMMA or titanium alloy, patient blood monocytes, and periprosthetic tissues using a SCID-hu model of aseptic loosening. Periprosthetic tissues and bone chips obtained at ... -
Population sizes, rhinocyllus conicus use, and patterns of genetic variation of cirsium ownbeyi, a rare native thistle, in Wyoming
(Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum, Brigham Young University, 2019-04-22)Cirsium ownbeyi is a habitat-specific, endemic, polycarpic thistle in northwest Colorado, northeast Utah, and southwest Wyoming. In 1998, seven C. ownbeyi populations, which ranged from 4 to >30,000 plants, were known from ... -
Post-dispersal factors influence recruitment patterns but do not override the importance of seed limitation in populations of a native thistle
(Springer, 2020-04-22)Whether plant populations are limited by seed or microsite availability is a long-standing debate. However, since both can be important, increasing emphasis is placed on disentangling their relative importance and how they ... -
Postnatal growth in a mouse genetic model of classical phenylketonuria
(American Association for Laboratory Animal Science, 2000-11)Because of the ethical problems of withholding dietary treatment from patients with phenylketonuria, effectively studying long-term effects such as postnatal growth rates is difficult or impossible. The only literature ... -
Potent selective inhibition of STAT 3 versus STAT 1 by cardiac hormones.
(Springer, 2012-12)Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) are the final "switches" that activate gene expression patterns that lead to human malignancy. Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK 1/2) activate STAT 3; ... -
Precipitation, not land use, primarily determines the composition of both plant and phyllosphere fungal communities
(Frontiers Media, 2022-07-07)Plant communities and fungi inhabiting their phyllospheres change along precipitation gradients and often respond to changes in land use. Many studies have focused on the changes in foliar fungal communities on specific ... -
Predation landscapes influence migratory prey ecology and evolution
(Elsevier, 2021-05-13)Migratory prey experience spatially variable predation across their life cycle. They face unique challenges in navigating this predation landscape, which affects their perception of risk, antipredator responses, and resulting ...
