Structural analysis of N-linked oligosaccharides of equine chorionic gonadotropin and lutropin beta-subunits
(American Chemical Society, 1994-11)Equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) and lutropin (eLH) are composed of a- and P-subunits with an identical amino acid sequence but show different biological activities. To elucidate the molecular difference between ... -
Structural features of mammalian gonadotropins
(Elsevier Ireland, 1996-12-20)There are two species for which both pituitary and placental gonadotropins are readily available, humans and horses. The human gonadotropins are better characterized than equine gonadotropins. Nevertheless, the latter are ... -
Substrate-dependent signaling success in the wolf spider, Schizocosa retrorsa
(Elsevier, 2008-02-02)Signals used in communication are often hypothesized to be optimally designed for their signalling environment. Here, we explore the importance of signalling substrate on seismic signal efficacy and reproductive behavior ... -
Surface microstructures on planar substrates and textile fibers guide neurite outgrowth: A scaffold solution to push limits of critical nerve defect regeneration?
(Public Library of Science, 2012-12-12)The treatment of critical size peripheral nerve defects represents one of the most serious problems in neurosurgery. If the gap size exceeds a certain limit, healing can't be achieved. Connection mismatching may further ... -
Synopsis of scarab beetle tribe Valgini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) in the New World
(Entomological Society of America, 2005-09)Two genera and five species of valgine scarabs (Cetoniinae: Valgini) are found in the New World, including the introduced European species, Valgus hemipterus L.. Valgus mexicanus Cazier is transferred to the genus ... -
Synopsis of the Argentinian scarab genus Pseudogeniates Ohaus (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Rutelinae)
(PENSOFT PUBL, 2012-11-13)The scarab beetle genus Pseudogeniates Ohaus (Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Rutelini) is endemic to Argentina. The genus includes three species: P cordobaensis Soula, P intermedius Ohaus, and P richterianus Ohaus. We characterize ... -
Synopsis of the aroid scarabs in the genus Peltonotus Burmeister (Scarabaeidae, Dynastinae, Cyclocephalini) from Sumatra and description of a new species
(ZooKeys, 2010-01-28)We provide a synopsis of the Sumatran species in the scarab beetle genus Peltonotus Burmeister (Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae: Cyclocephalini), describe a new species of Peltonotus from Sumatra, and describe the male of P. ... -
Synopsis of the genera of Geniatini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) with an annotated catalog of species
(Magnolia Press, Auckland, 2005)We provide an overview and synopsis of the 13 genera of Geniatini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) including keys to genera (Spanish and English), catalog, representative habitus illustrations for all genera, character ... -
A Synopsis of the Genus Areoda (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae)
(The Coleopterists Society, 1989-06)The three species in the genus Areoda are reviewed for the first time. The genus is characterized, a key to species is provided, each species is described, spatial and temporal distributions are given, and the biogeography ... -
Synopsis of the New World Genera of Anomalini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) and Description of a New Genus from Costa Rica and Nicaragua
(Entomological Society of America, 2003-07)We describe a new genus of anomaline scarab, Anomalorhina (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Anomalini) from Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Anomala turrialbana Ohaus is transferred into this genus, and a new species, ... -

(Pensoft Publishers, 2017-04-06)The pelidnotine scarabs (Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Rutelini) are a speciose, paraphyletic assemblage of beetles that includes spectacular metallic species ("jewel scarabs") as well as species that are ecologically important ... -
Synthesis and properties of magnetic Fe$_3$O$_4$/PCL porous biocomposite scaffolds with different sizes and quantities of Fe$_3$O$_4$ particles
(MDPI, 2022-06-26)In clinical practice, to treat diseases such as osteosarcoma or chondrosarcoma with broad surgical ostectomy, it would be ideal to have scaffolds that not only fill up the bone void but also possess the ability to regulate ... -
Synthesis and secretion of gonadotropins including structure-function correlates
(Springer Open Choice, 2011-07-08)The synthesis and secretion of the gonadotropic hormones involves coordination of signal transduction, gene expression, protein translation, post-translational folding and modification and finally secretion. The production ... -
