Although Mycobacterium ulcerans, M. marinum, and M. haemophilum are closely related, their exact taxonomic placements have not been determined. We performed gas chromatography of fatty acids and alcohols, as well as DNA-DNA hybridization and 16S…

Malagasy poison frogs of the genus Mantella with its 16 species are currently sub-divided into 5 major groups. Of these, the Mantella betsileo group is traditionally understood as containing four species, Mantella betsileo, M. expectata, M. viridis…

Climate change is already affecting Californias water resources. Bold steps must be taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, even if emissions ended today, the accumulation of existing greenhouse gases will continue to impact climate for…

Various guidebooks exist for mangroves of Southeast Asia, but all have a limited geographic scope covering only one country. An even more severe limitation of these guidebooks is that they focus almost exclusively on so-called true mangrove species…

Signals propagated through the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) are vital for the development and survival of B lymphocytes in both the bone marrow and the periphery. These signals not only guide maturation and activation but also affect the removal of…
-
Recent neuroscience is lacking of consistent theory and methods for understanding the mechanisms through which the brain orchestrate the symphony of perceptions, thoughts and actions. The aim of this Chapter is to contribute to a better…

Burrow systems of 43 individuals representing 7 species of pocket gophers (Geomyidae) in Texas (Geomys breviceps, G. bursarius, G. personatus, G. texensis, Thomomys bottae) and Jalisco, Mexico (Cratogeomys fumosus, Pappogeomys bulleri) were…

This report is a synthesis of the findings of the MA on marine and coastal ecosystems, taken from the global and sub-global assessments.All information contained in this synthesis report is derived from chapters of the MAs four main assessment…

One of the key problems in microfabrication and especially nanofabrication applied to biology is materials selection. Proper materials must have mechanical stability and the ability to hermetically bond to other surfaces, yet not bind biological…

This chapter focuses on advances in the study of mathematics teaching and learning since the publication of the first edition of the Handbook of Educational Psychology (Berliner & Calfee, editors) in 1996. Because of the scope of the review,…

We have previously shown that osmotic stress activates both the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade and the stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK, also known as JNK) cascade in rat fibroblastic 3Y1 cells and rat PC12 cells. Here, we show…

This document is intended to be a compilation of tips and tricks mainly related to efficient ways of manipulating arrays in MATLAB. Here, manipulating arrays includes replicating and rotating arrays or parts of arrays, inserting, extracting,…

The results of a clinical outcome study (N=57) comparing behavior therapy directed at panic disorder (panic control treatment PCT) with alprazolam were reported. These conditions were compared with a medication placebo and a waiting-list control…

Bioadhesins are a recognised method of enhancing the absorption of drugs and vaccines at mucosal surfaces. Additionally, bioadhesins allow for cell specific targeting. Lectin-mediated targeting and delivery exploits unique surface carbohydrates on…
-
M cells are key sites of antigen sampling for the mucosal-associated lymphoid system (MALT) and consequently are essential components of the structures serving as inductive sites for mucosal immunity. In addition, they have recently been recognized…

KCNQ subunits encode for the M current (I(KM)), a neuron-specific voltage-dependent K+ current with a well established role in the control of neuronal excitability. In this study, by means of a combined biochemical, pharmacological, and…
-
The identity of signaling elements that couple muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) activation to M current (KCNQ K(+) channels) modulation has remained unknown despite decades of study. Suh and Hille (in this issue of Neuron) demonstrate that…

The AAA(+) chaperone ClpB mediates the reactivation of aggregated proteins in cooperation with the DnaK chaperone system. ClpB consists of two AAA domains that drive the ATP-dependent threading of substrates through a central translocation channel.…
-
Inorganic nitrate and nitrite from endogenous or dietary sources are metabolized in vivo to nitric oxide (NO) and other bioactive nitrogen oxides. The nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway is emerging as an important mediator of blood flow regulation, cell…
