A novel LIM-homeodomain gene, Lhx9, was isolated by degenerate RT-PCR followed by mouse embryonic library screening. Lhx9 cDNA encodes a protein that is most closely related to Drosophila apterous and…
The ontogeny and estrous cycle-dependent variation of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene expression was analyzed in the rat uterus. RNA extracted from rat uteri contained transcripts with estim…
Anthropomorphic models used in computational dosimetry, also denominated phantoms, are based on digital images recorded from scanning of real people by Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance I…
Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy (SPIM) is an imaging technique particularly suited for long term in-vivo analysis of transparent specimens, able to visualize small organs or entire organisms, …
Roux-en-Y gastrectomy is associated with a high incidence of symptoms of gastric stasis. Retrograde propagation of jejunal electrical slow waves and spike bursts has been implicated in the Roux Y stas…
Different aspects of Neospora tachyzoite antigen recognition by Neospora-infected heifers and cows and aborted foetuses were studied. The pattern of antigen recognition and the relationship between IF…
Open reading frames (6116) of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were PCR-amplified from genomic DNA using 12,232 primers specific to the ends of the coding sequences; the success rate of ampl…
Physiological adaptations to various types of prolonged and intensive physical activity, as seen in elite athletes from different sports, include changes in blood pressure (BP) response to acute exerc…
A method for estimating the sample size required to attain a predefined linkage decision quality (type I and type II errors) is proposed using the linkage test power estimate developed by Ginsburg et …
In recent years, human-machine interactions encompass many avenues of life, ranging from personal communications to professional activities. This trend has allowed for person identification based on b…
PURPOSE: Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2) has been implied in the development of myopia according to previous studies investigating FGF2 in the sclera and retinal pigment epithelium. This study measu…
Lights? Nanotubes? Action! A hydrogel comprising lysozymes, poly(ethylene glycol), phospholipids, and functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes is employed for light-driven thermoelectric conversi…
In the present study we have developed a method which, by combining histochemical, immunohistochemical, electrophoretic and immunoblotting analyses on a single fibre, enables a sensitive characterizat…
Hydroxyapatite, a mineral form of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) that gives bones their rigidity, is the major and essential component of bones and teeth in the human and animal body. A suitable rati…
It has been demonstrated that cobra venom factor prepared by the usual combination of ion exchange chromatography and sephadex gel filtration is contaminated by substantial amounts of a 'heavy' phosph…
To investigate the possible biological function of the lateral "strand dimer" observed in crystal structures of a D1 domain extracellular fragment from N-cadherin, we have undertaken site-directed mut…
We used computer simulation method to address the question of power in an initial collaborative sample of 51 bipolar affective disorder pedigrees. Simulations were performed for all possible combinati…
CONTEXT: Relatively little is known about genetic determinants of cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia. Recent studies suggest that a brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) prodomain single nucleo…
Mycolactone A/B is a lipophilic macrocyclic polyketide that is the primary virulence factor produced by Mycobacterium ulcerans, a human pathogen and the causative agent of Buruli ulcer. In M. ulcerans…
In genetic association studies, there is increasing interest in understanding the joint effects of genetic and nongenetic factors. For rare diseases, the case-control study is a practical design, and …
