To determine the functional relevance of circadian Fabp7 expression in memory consolidation
(2007)
Fatty-acid binding protein 7 (Fabp7) is closely related to sleep/wake cycle and regulated in a circadian pattern. To investigate whether the expression affects learning and memory behavior, we used the Drosophila model. ...
Transgenic zebrafish that carry inducible zic2a fusion proteins
(2007)
Zic genes encode proteins that contain zinc fingers used to bind DNA and modify transcription of target genes. Several zic genes have been identified that are critical in regulating nervous system development in a wide ...
Delta-opioid receptor (DOR) activation prolongs respiratory motor output during oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in neonatal rat spinal cord in vitro
(2007)
Severe reduction of blood flow to the brain results in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) and neuronal damage. DOR activation is neuroprotective during OGD in the cerebellum and cortex, but it is not known whether DOR ...
Engineering of maltose-binding protein to employ a poly-arginine tag and improve protein purification
(2007)
Maltose binding protein (MBP), a solubility-enhancing fusion protein, has demonstrated great success in the application of protein purification when fused to a protein of interest. It has already been engineered to include ...
An investigation on the effects of mutations in the ATG12 autophagy pathway of Arabidopsis thaliana
(2007)
Under nutrient-deficient conditions, plants are forced to recycle secondary cellular constituents to conserve energy for the more essential processes (Klionsky, et al. 2000). Plants accomplish this through a process called ...
Characterization of my18, a mutant exhibiting abnormal expression of the C. elegans polycystic kidney disease gene
(2007)
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a common genetic disorder affecting 1/400 to 1/800 individuals in the population. Mutations in the human genes PKD1 and PKD2, which encode Polycystin-l (PC-I) and ...
Efficiency of dietary calcium use for skeletal growth and mineralization in young pigs fed diets with various phosphorus concentrations
(2007)
Nutrient efficiencies are generally greater for animals fed diets with marginal deficiencies. In a preliminary study, however, Ca efficiency was lower in pigs fed diets with a marginal Ca deficiency (J Bone Miner Re 20:S193). ...
Optimization of recombinant E. coli protein expression in growth medium
(2007)
With the onset of novel genomic sequence data, much effort is now being taken to discover the role of many genes and the corresponding proteins that remain unknown. One of the limiting steps in such efforts has been the ...
Present management practices and future possibilities for the Concha Prieta (Anadara tuberculosa) in the community of San Felipe, Ecuador
(2007)
San Felipe is a small fishing village on the Caraquez estuary on the coast of Ecuador. Only twenty years ago, this community was able to sustain itself on clam collecting, but due to poor management and mangrove destruction, ...
E. coli contaminated drinking water in rural Uganda: Using results to make an impact
(2007)
In January 2006, I worked with Community Based Integrated Nutrition (COBIN) to perform water quality testing and design & distribute health questionnaires to 40 households in the Lyantonde and Kiruhura districts of rural ...
