(NEW ENGLAND BOTANICAL CLUB, 2019-05-03)Chromosome numbers are reported for 349 individuals of 116 taxa and 2 hybrids in 13 genera from Canada and the United States. The majority of the reports are for asters listed in this paper under the generic names ... -
Circular dichroic spectroscopy of Arg46-nicked ovine lutropin α and derived fragments
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers, 1996-08)Theα subunit of ovine lutropin can be nicked with the endoproteinase Arg-C to give a single cleavage of the Arg46-Ser47 peptide bond. Following reduction by sulfitolysis, the N-terminal (residues 1–46) and C-terminal ... -
Circulating blood monocytes traffic to and participate in the periprosthetic tissue inflammation
(Springer-Verlag, 2009-12)Objective To examine the trafficking of human circulating blood monocytes and their influence on the inflammation of periprosthetic tissues using a novel mouse–human chimera model. Methods Periprosthetic tissue ... -
Cobalt-chromium particles inducing preosteoblasts may aggravate periprosthetic inflammation
(Journal of Clinical Rehabilitative Tissue Engineering Research, 2019)BACKGROUND: Arthroplasty has been the most effective treatment for the end-stage osteoarthritis. However, aseptic loosening is the main long-term complication of arthroplasty. How to ameliorate aseptic loosening is an issue ... -
Collagen matrices mediate glioma cell migration induced by an electrical signal
(MDPI, 2022-08-29)Glioma cells produce an increased amount of collagen compared with normal astrocytes. The increasing amount of collagen in the extracellular matrix (ECM) modulates the matrix structure and the mechanical properties of the ... -
Collagen microsphere serving as a cell carrier supports oligodendrocyte progenitor cell growth and differentiation for neurite myelination in vitro
(Biomed Central LTD, 2013-09-09)Introduction: Microspheres fabricated from natural materials serve as a promising biodegradable and biocompatible carrier in a small volume for efficient cell delivery to the lesion of the injured neural tissue to generate ... -
Colorimetric microbial diversity analysis and halotolerance along a soil salinity gradient at the Great Salt Plains of Oklahoma
(Elsevier, 2012-10-12)Microbial diversity was measured along a salinity gradient at the Great Salt Plains of Oklahoma using colony color quantified as RGB components of microbial isolate streaks. Numerical taxonomy was performed using a UPGMA ... -
Combination gene therapy targeting on interleukin-1β and RANKL for wear debris-induced aseptic loosening
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2013-02)This study investigated the efficacy of a combination gene therapy to repress interleukin-1 (IL-1) and receptor activator of nuclear factor NF-kappa B ligand (RANKL) for the treatment of particulate debris-induced aseptic ... -
The combination of induced pluripotent stem cells and bioscaffolds holds promise for spinal cord regeneration
(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2018-10-01)Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are debilitating conditions for which no effective treatment currently exists. The damage of neural tissue causes disruption of neural tracts and neuron loss in the spinal cord. Stem cell ... -
Combined effects of competition and herbivory limit population growth and spread of Cirsium vulgare: Demographic comparison of an introduced thistle with its native congener
(2011-08)Background/Question/Methods The European Cirsium vulgare is an invasive species worldwide, but in Nebraska it has remained at very low densities for over 200 years. The leading hypothesis is that pre-adapted, specialized ... -
Combined effects of folivory and neighbor plants on Cirsium altissimum (tall thistle) rosette performance
(Springer, 2010)Predicting how herbivory and neighbor plant interactions combine to affect host plants is critical to explaining variation in herbivores’ impact on plant population dynamics. In a field experiment, we asked whether the ... -
Combining bioscaffolds and iPSCs in the treatment of neural trauma and Alzheimer’s disease
(Elsevier, 2021-06-04)The discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) was a breakthrough in biological research poised to be a potential therapy in the field of regenerative medicine. The modality is a personalized therapy due to utilizing ... -
Comparative glycomics of the glycoprotein follicle stimulating hormone: glycopeptide analysis of isolates from two mammalian species
(American Chemical Society, 2006-06-21)Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is one of the important hormones that regulate gonadal functions. This hormone is glycosylated, and the glycans greatly influence the biological properties. In the present study the ... -
Comparative molecular analysis of the prokaryotic diversity of two salt mine soils in southwest China
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2013-11)While much is known about the microbial diversity in some hypersaline environments, little is known about those of salt mine tunnel soils. The objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive phylogenetic comparison ... -
Comparison of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and immunoassay techniques on concentrations of atrazine in storm runoff
(Springer New York, 1996-10)Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniques were used to measure concentrations of dissolved atrazine in 149 surface-water samples. Samples were collected during ... -
