Binding of the von Willebrand factor A domain of capillary morphogenesis protein 2 to anthrax protective antigen vaccine reduces immunogenicity in mice
(NLM (Medline), 2020-01)Protective antigen (PA) is a component of anthrax toxin that can elicit toxin-neutralizing antibody responses. PA is also the major antigen in the current vaccine to prevent anthrax, but stability problems with recombinant ... -
Binding sites of a positron emission tomography imaging agent in Alzheimer’s β amyloid fibrils studied using 19f solid-state NMR
(ACS Publications, 2022-01-11)Amyloid imaging by positron emission tomography (PET) is an important method for diagnosing neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. Many 11C- and 18F-labeled PET tracers show varying binding capacities, ... -
Binding, electrochemical activation, and cleavage of DNA by cobalt(II) tetrakis-N-methylpyridyl porphyrin and its beta-pyrrole brominated derivative

Binomial-chi(2) vector random fields
(SIAM Publ., 2017)We introduce a new class of non-Gaussian vector random fields in space and/or time, which are termed binomial-chi(2) vector random fields and include chi(2) vector random fields as special cases. We define a binomial-chi(2) ... -
Bioactivity of recombinant hFSH glycosylation variants in primary cultures of porcine granulosa cells
(Elsevier, 2020-06-15)Previous studies have reported hypo-glycosylated FSH and fully-glycosylated FSH to be naturally occurring in humans, and these glycoforms exist in changing ratios over a woman's lifespan. The precise cellular and molecular ... -
Biochemical defect of the hph-1 mouse mutant is a deficiency in GTP-cyclohydrolase activity
(PubMed, 1988-02)A hyperphenylalaninemic mouse mutant, hph-1, has been identified in the progeny of mice treated with the mutagen ethylnitrosourea. Phenylalanine hydroxylase activity levels in mutant liver lysates are reduced relative to ... -
Biocompatibility of Poly-ε-caprolactone-hydroxyapatite composite on mouse bone marrow-derived osteoblasts and endothelial cells
(BioMed Central, 2009-02-26)Background. Tissue-engineered bone may be developed by seeding the cells capable of both osteogenesis and vascularization on biocompatible composite scaffolds. The current study investigated the performance of mice bone ... -
A biocultural study of human skeletal remains from southwestern Colorado
(2007-05)The Ewing Collection is a large collection of artifacts and skeletal materials originating from a number of archaeological sites in Colorado, all located near the Four Corners region with the exception of one. The sites ... -
Biological characteristics of adult degenerative nucleus pulposus cells in a three-dimensional microcarrier stirring culture system
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-06)A major problem in reconstructing degenerative intervertebral discs is to obtain sufficient nucleus pulposus (NP) seeding cells with normal physiologic functions. The current study adopted a three-dimensional microcarrier ... -
Biological observations and a new state record of Paracotalpa granicollis Haldeman (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) in New Mexico
(The Coleopterists Society, 2009)Specimens of Paracotalpa granicollis Haldeman (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) collected in northwestern New Mexico represent a new state record for the species. Individuals (males only) were observed in association ... -
Biological response of $Co^{2+}$ to preosteoblasts during aseptic loosening of the prosthesis
(Journal of Clinical Rehabilitative Tissue Engineering Research, 2020-12-31)BACKGROUND: Aseptic loosening of prosthesis is the main long-term complication after artificial joint replacement. Metal ions have been proven to be one of the causes of aseptic loosening. How to control and mitigate aseptic ... -
Biological responses of preosteoblasts to particulate and ion forms of Co-Cr alloy
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2015-11)This study compared the particulate and ion forms of a cobalt-chrome (Co-Cr) alloy on the differentiation/activation of preosteoblasts. Mouse preosteoblasts (MC3T3-E1) were cultured in an osteoblast-induction medium in the ... -
Biologically motivated quantum neural networks
(IEEE, 2017)This paper presents one step toward creating the building blocks for machine intelligence that is inspired by its biological equivalent. The authors' quantum learning methods (deep quantum learning) are applied to quantum ... -
Biomass byproducts for the remediation of wastewaters contaminated with toxic metals
(American Chemical Society, 2001-09-15)Pollution of the environment with toxic metals is widespread and often involves large volumes of wastewater. Remediation strategies must be designed to support high throughput while keeping costs to a minimum. Biosorption ... -
