Improving axon growth of transected spinal cord using multichannel collagen conduits carrying NT-3 gene
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2012-05-01) -
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 ... -
Integral projection models show exotic thistle is more limited than native thistle by ambient competition and herbivory
(Ecological Society of America, 2015-04)Both competitors and natural enemies can limit plant population growth. However, demographic comparisons of the effects of these interactions on introduced versus co-occurring, related native species are uncommon. We asked: ... -
An integrated simulation-optimization framework to optimize search and treatment path for controlling a biological invader
(Elsevier, 2019-10-01)Invasive species cause large economic losses and are difficult to control due to the high cost of locating and treating the continual emergence of new individuals. The national strategy against invasive species encompasses ... -
Interactive effects of insects, mammals, and soil fertility on grassland plant community structure
(2014-08)Background/Question/Methods Herbivory is expected to have important effects on grassland plant community structure and biomass. However, the effects of herbivores may be mitigated by plant resource availability, which ... -
Interpretation of gram-stained sputa containing Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis
(American Society for Microbiology, 1990-11)Sputum specimens culture positive for Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis were Gram stained with three decolorizer solutions (slow, 95% ethyl alcohol; intermediate, 1:1 ratio of 95% ethyl alcohol and acetone; and fast, ... -
Intraspecific seed interactions alter seedling emergence of Lespedeza cuneata under field conditions
(Springer International Publishing AG, 2015-07)There is growing recognition that seeds influence one another prior to, or shortly after, germination. Both interspecific and intraspecific seed-seed interactions have been reported, but for the latter, the evidence is ... -
Invasiveness of some biological control insects and adequacy of their ecological risk assessment and regulation
(Society for Conservation Biology, 2003-02-23)The problem of invasive species has reignited interest in biological control as a management tool.Classical biological control involves deliberate release of exotic natural enemies into new environments in an attempt to ...
