Deciphering the sexual diploid members of the Boechera suffrutescens complex (Brassicaceae, Boechereae)
(PENSOFT PUBL, 2018-05-02)Boechera is a model genus that is of particular interest for understanding apomixis due to the presence of numerous apomictic diploid lineages that are tightly correlated with hybridisation events. Boechera includes many ... -
Deer browsing and light availability limit post oak (Quercus stellata) sapling growth and post-fire recovery in a xeric woodland
(Elsevier, 2022-06-06)Historically, oaks dominated the canopies of large regions of eastern North American forests, but at many sites current recruitment is insufficient to sustain oak dominance. Intense browsing by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus ... -
Delta-aminolevulinic acid biosynthesis in Ustilago maydis
(Wiley - V C H Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2005)A biosynthetic precursor of tetrapyrroles, delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), can be formed via two pathways: enzymatic condensation of glycine and succinyl-CoA by ALA synthase in animal mitochondria and some fungi, and the ... -
Demographic structure and genetic variability throughout the distribution of Platte thistle (Cirsium canescens Asteraceae)
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2017-02)AimUnderstanding spatial variation in the demographic and genetic structure of populations is central to explaining causes of species range limits and to species conservation. The Abundant Centre Hypothesis (ACH) predicts ... -
Dental pulp stem cell-derived chondrogenic cells demonstrate differential cell motility in type I and type II collagen hydrogels
(Elsevier, 2018-06)BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Advances in the development of biomaterials and stem cell therapy provide a promising approach to regenerating degenerated discs. The normal nucleus pulposus (NP) cells exhibit similar phenotype to ... -
DEPDC1 as a crucial factor in the progression of human osteosarcoma
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2022-12-07)Objective: Novel therapeutic strategies are emerging with the increased understanding of the underlying mechanisms of human osteosarcoma. This current study tends to decipher the potentially critical role of DEP domain-containing ... -
Depression of lactose hydrolysis by yeasts
(Microbiology Society, 1977-03-02)To investigate the role that the known disaccharidase depression may play in the aetiology of infant gastroenteritis caused by Candida albicans, C. albicans and the rarely pathogenic Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied ... -
Descriptions of the Larvae of Chlorota Cincticollis Blanchard and Chasmodia Collaris (Blanchard) (Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Rutelini) with a Key to the Larvae of the American Genera of Rutelini
(The Coleopterists Society, 2001)Larvae of the genera Chlorota Burmeister and Chasmodia Macleay (Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Rutelini) are described for the first time based on the larvae of Chlorota Cincticollis Blanchard and Chasmodia Collaris (Blanchard). ... -
Developing a laboratory animal model for perinatal endocrine disruption: the hamster chronicles
(Royal Society of Medicine Press Ltd., 2002-10)At the biomedical, regulatory, and public level, considerable concern surrounds the concept that inappropriate exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, especially during the prenatal and/or neonatal period, may disrupt ... -
Development of an index of biotic integrity for the Little Arkansas River Basin, Kansas
(Springer New York, 2000-11)An index of biotic integrity (IBI) was developed for the Little Arkansas River Basin (LARB) in south-central Kansas by establishing a reference condition for the watershed. Twelve metrics, in six categories, were chosen ... -
Development of microsatellite markers for Buffalograss (Buchloë dactyloides; Poaceae), a drought-tolerant turfgrass alternative
(Botanical Society of America, 2016-08)Premise of the study: Buchloe dactyloides (Poaceae) is an important component of Great Plains prairies and a popular droughttolerant turfgrass alternative in North America. This species comprises an autopolyploid series, ... -
Diethylstilbestrol versus estradiol as neonatal disruptors of the hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) cervix
(Society for the Study of Reproduction, 2004-05)The synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) is an established, estrogenic endocrine disruptor (ED). The Syrian golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) offers some unique advantages as an experimental system to investigate ... -
Different influence of Ti, PMMA, UHMWPE, and Co-Cr particles on peripheral blood monocytes during periprosthetic inflammation
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-01)This study investigated cellular trafficking and inflammatory markers in orthopedic biomaterial particle-challenged human peripheral blood monocytes (PBMCs) using a murine immunodeficiency (SCID) model. Periprosthetic ... -
Differential activity of diethylstilbestrol versus estradiol as neonatal endocrine disruptors in the female hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) reproductive tract
(Society for the Study of Reproduction, 1999-07)The synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) is a potent neonatal endocrine disruptor in the hamster. To test the specificity of this phenomenon, newborn animals were treated with 100 microgram of either DES or the ... -
Differential effects of alpha subunit Asparagine56 oligosaccharide structure on equine lutropin and follitropin hybrid conformation and receptor-binding activity
(American Chemical Society, 2004-08-24)The gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and chorionic gonadotropin (CG), are cysteine-knot growth-factor superfamily glycoproteins composed of a common alpha subunit noncovalently ... -
Differential FSH glycosylation modulates FSHR oligomerization and subsequent cAMP signaling
(Frontiers Media, 2021-12-03)Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and its target G protein-coupled receptor (FSHR) are essential for reproduction. Recent studies have established that the hypo-glycosylated pituitary FSH glycoform (FSH21/18), is more ... -
