Analyzing interactions between the GV1 Cell Line, Juvenile Hormone, and Juvenile Hormone Binding Protein
(2011)
Insect juvenile hormone (JH) and its hemolymph transport protein, juvenile hormone
binding protein (JHBP) play key roles in the development of many insects. However, the exact mechanism via which JH and JHBP regulates ...
Submerged macrophytes in Big Spring Creek, WI: Distribution and influence on phosphorus dynamics
(2007)
Submerged macrophytes affect many aspects of lotic ecosystems, including nutrient dynamics. We performed longitudinal vegetation surveys to describe the distribution of macrophytes in Big Spring Creek, Wisconsin. We also ...
Inhibition of the Escherichia coli replication cycle by a mutant RecA protein
(2008)
Abstract: A conserved [K/R]x[K/R] motif is found at the subunit-subunit interface in bacterial RecA protein filaments. In the Escherichia coli RecA protein, this motif is made up of residues K248 and K250. Both of these ...
Validation of Optical Structural Alterations in Two Oligodendroglioma Tumors
(2011)
Many large- and small-scale changes occur in the genomes of tumor cells. The optical mapping system was used previously to discover structural variations (OSAs; Optical Structural Alterations) in tumor genomes. OSAs are ...
Examining cell shape as the mechanism for furrow positioning in the early Zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo
(2010)
Through previous studies, it has been found that Zebrafish embryos show a predictable pattern of cell division consisting of the spindle apparatus always aligning perpendicular to its orientation in the previous cell stage. ...
Determining the impacts of residential lakeshore development and various physical factors on largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) growth rates
(2007)
Development of residential lakeshore properties can have several effects on aquatic ecosystems including the thinning of littoral coarse woody habitat. Previous studies have shown that reduction of littoral coarse woody ...
The role of offspring in mitigating extreme stress in lactating female mice
(2009)
Mothers of many species find great comfort in their offspring, which in turn has been found to alleviate mild stress in the mother. In the face of a life-threatening event, however, do offspring still act as effective ...
The Role of PGC-1alpha in Adipocyte Differentiation and Fat Mobilization
(2008)
Calorie Restriction (CR) without malnutrition extends mean and maximal lifespan in multiple species, although the mechanism is unknown. CR has a dramatic effect on adipose tissue morphology, gene expression and energy ...
The effects of 1,25 D3 on the mouse osteopontin promoter
(2007)
Vitamin D (1,25 D3) is an important transcriptional regulator of many genes including our gene of interest, osteopontin. Osteopontin is a known regulator of bone calcification and mineralization and is involved in signaling ...
Exploring Senataxin -- Sen1p homology
(2010)
Mutated SETX, a human gene encoding for the protein Senataxin, has been identified among patients with two different neurodegenerative disorders--ataxia-ocular apraxia 2 (AOA2) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 4 (ALS4). ...
