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 ... -
Prediction in novel thistle-insect interactions: challenges of phenological and spatial variation
(2014-11)Quantitative outcomes of insect herbivore-plant interactions typically vary spatially and temporally. Prediction of where and when insects will impose significant damage, or mediate indirect interactions among plants is ... -
Preparation of bioscaffolds delivering stem cells for neural regeneration
(Humana, New York, NY, 2020-05-31)Bioscaffolds have been proven for their feasibility in neural repair. Neural conduits have been investigated in the repair of wounded peripheral nerve and spinal cord. These conduits support axonal growth by providing ... -
Prevalence of sucretolerant bacteria in common soils and their isolation and characterization
(Springer, 2017-08)Sucretolerant microbes grow in the presence of sugar concentrations high enough to substantially lower water activities. Natural habitats high in sugars are mainly limited to dried fruit, floral nectar, honey, sugarcane, ... -

Production, purification, and characterization of recombinant hFSH glycoforms for functional studies
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd., 2015-04-15)Previously, our laboratory demonstrated the existence of a beta-subunit glycosylation-deficient human FSH glycoform, hFSH(21). A third variant, hFSH(18), has recently been detected in FSH glycoforms isolated from purified ... -
Profiling microRNA expression in Arabidopsis pollen using microRNA array and real-time PCR
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2009)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are approximately 22-nt small non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of specific target genes in many eukaryotes. In higher plants, miRNAs are involved in developmental processes and stress responses. ...
