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. ...
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). ...
The effects of inter-personal factors on bird and bat mortality searcher efficiency
(2010)
Employee efficiency and performance are essential to the success of a project. These inter-personal factors have been investigated in specific settings but have not been explored in the scientific research assistants. This ...
Feasibility study: Comparison of performance status with objective physical activity monitors in lung cancer patients
(2010)
Context: Performance status (PS) is a predictor of response to chemotherapy but difficult to identify in patients with advanced lung cancer. It is measured using the ECOG scale, which relies on simple questions to assign ...
Lithium and its effects on a novel (non drug-induced) hyperactive mouse model
(2010)
Bipolar disorder (BPD) is a devastating long-term disease for which a significant symptom is mania. Researchers have long relied on the use of rodent models to study psychological disorders (like BPD), as well as to develop ...
Identifying and locating length and position of introgression on chromosome 6 influencing resistance to bacterial wilt and identifying markers for bacterial wilt resistance on chromosome 12
(2010)
Bacterial wilt is a devastating disease affecting hundreds of species of plants and millions of people by destroying crops like the tomato. Conventional techniques to destroy the pathogen have been futile to this point and ...
Attempts to analyze the RNA-binding specificity of the C. elegans RNP-8 protein
(2010)
Cytoplasmic polyadenylation is a key mechanism of gene regulation in all eukaryotes. The C. elegans GLD-2 protein provides the catalytic activity for a cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase, but GLD-2 must partner with another ...
