Protective effects of IL-1Ra or vIL-10 gene transfer on a murine model of wear debris-induced osteolysis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2004-03)The current study evaluated the protective effects of anti-inflammatory cytokine gene transfer on osteolysis provoked by orthopedic biomaterial particles using a murine model of inflammatory bone loss. A section of bone ... -
A protein composite neural scaffold modulates astrocyte migration and transcriptome profile
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2022-01-11)Bioscaffold implantation is a promising approach to facilitate the repair and regeneration of wounded neural tissue after injury to the spinal cord or peripheral nerves. However, such bioscaffold grafts currently result ... -
Quiescent pluripotent stem cells reside within murine peripheral nerves that can be stimulated to proliferate by recombinant human bone morphogenic protein 2 or by nerve trauma
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-02)BACKGROUND: The clinical use of recombinant human bone morphogenic protein 2 (rhBMP2, Infuse) has been associated with nerve-related complications including new-onset sciatica, and retrograde ejaculation. PURPOSE: To ... -
A rangewide herbarium-derived dataset indicates high levels of gene flow in black cherry (Prunus serotina)
(Wiley, 2019-01-08)Isolation by Distance (IBD) is a genetic pattern in which populations geographically closer to one another are more genetically similar to each other than populations which are farther apart. Black cherry (Prunus serotina ... -
Rarity of oak saplings in savannas and woodlands of the Eastern Edwards Plateau, Texas
(Southwestern Association of Naturalists, 1999-03)Anecdotal evidence suggests that Quercus fusiformis and Quercus buckleyi, two dominant trees of central Texas savannas and woodlands, are not recruiting to adult size classes on the eastern Edwards Plateau. To evaluate ... -
Recombinagenicity of caffeine for Candida albicans
(SpringerSpringer Netherlands, 1990-05)Caffeine at concentrations of 0.5 x 10(-2) M or higher inhibited cell replication and induced gene segregations in Candida albicans cultured on defined complete medium. Both responses increased incrementally with increasing ... -
The recombinant equine LH beta subunit combines divergent intracellular traits of human LH beta and CG beta subunits
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-06)The pituitary LH beta and placental CG beta subunits are products of different genes in primates. The major structural difference between the two subunits is in the carboxy-terminal region, where the short carboxyl sequence ... -
Recombinant FSH glycoforms are bioactive in mouse preantral ovarian follicles
(Society for Reproduction and Fertility, 2019-12)Female reproductive aging is characterized by a rise in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels during peri-menopause. N-linked glycans are co-translationally attached to the Asn7 and Asn24 residues on the FSHβ subunit. ... -
Recovery and STR amplification of DNA from RFLP membranes
(American Academy of Forensic Sciences, 2008-03-24)Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) techniques were utilized in the forensic DNA community until the mid 1990s when less labor-intensive polymerase chain reaction short tandem repeat (PCR STR) techniques became ... -
Reduced genetic variation in populations of Black Cherry (Prunus serotina subsp. serotina, Rosaceae) at its western range limit in Kansas
(Eagle Hill Institute, 2014-09)We compared genetic variation at five nuclear simple sequence repeat loci between three populations of Black Cherry (Prunus serotina subsp. serotina) at the edge of its western range in Kansas to four populations from ... -
Reduction and reoxidation of equine gonadotropin alpha-subunits
(The Endocrine Society, 1992-12)Ovine (o) and equine (e) LH alpha-subunits were reduced and reoxidized using conditions known to be effective for bovine and human alpha-subunits. The major product of oLH alpha refolding was alpha-subunit monomer. In ... -
Relationships between sucretolerance and salinotolerance in bacteria from hypersaline environments and their implications for the exploration of Mars and the icy worlds
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-04)The most extremely osmotolerant microbial isolates are fungi from high-sugar environments that tolerate the lowest water activity (0.61) for growth yet reported. Studies of osmotolerant bacteria have focused on halotolerance ... -
Repair of injured spinal cord using biomaterial scaffolds and stem cells
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2014-08-01)The loss of neurons and degeneration of axons after spinal cord injury result in the loss of sensory and motor functions. A bridging biomaterial construct that allows the axons to grow through has been investigated for the ... -
Reserving genetic diversity in dominant Great Plains grasses: Investigating the geographic distribution of buffalograss cytotypes
(Wichita State University, 2016-02-02)Buchloë dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm. (buffalograss) is a major component of mixed- and shortgrass prairies of Kansas and the Great Plains, and is of economic importance both as a forage grass and as a native turf grass ... -
Response of genotypes of Hyalella azteca to zinc toxicity
(Springer New York, 1999-07)Toxicity tests are most frequently conducted on organisms derived from laboratory cultures that have been reared for many generations following standardized protocols. The restricted density of laboratory populations and ... -
