This process was simulated using the friction factor model with variation of the factor m between m = 0.2 and m = 0.7 and with the IFUM friction model. In Figure 20, the calculated force–time curves are shown comparison with the experimentally measured values. The best agreement was ...
Significantly, a recent report found differences between C. glabrata strains in tandem repeat array length and structure within adhesin-like protein (ALP) genes (Xu et al., 2021), which can impact the virulence and the interaction of this yeast with host cells. Moreover, it highlights the ...
We present kiloparsec (kpc) spatial resolution maps of the CO-to-H2 conversion factor (alpha_co) and dust-to-gas ratio (DGR) in 26 nearby, star-forming galaxies. We have simultaneously solved for alpha_co and DGR by assuming that the DGR is approximately constant on kpc scales. With thi...
The RNase method detected a new polymorphic A to T substitution at position 1945 and the 2 substitutions without recog- nizing difference between them. Since the efficiency of the 2 types of the DGGE seems to be equal, theDGGE on PCR-amplified DNA fragments is the most suitable among the 3...
The brain is highly sensitive to damage caused by infection and inflammation1,2. Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is a neurotropic virus and the cause of herpes simplex encephalitis3. It is unknown whether neuron-specific antiviral factors control virus
While scleraxis promoted fibroblast to myofibroblast conversion, loss of scleraxis attenuated myofibroblast function and gene expression. These results were confirmed in scleraxis knockout mice, which were cardiac matrix-deficient and lost ~50 % of their complement of cardiac fibroblasts, with evidence of...
CER3 (Solyc03g117800) likely catalyzes the conversion of VLC acyl-CoAs to intermediate VLC aldehydes, and in asso- ciation with CER1, to VLC alkanes. The expression of CER3 is also strongly reduced in the SlMIXTA-like RNAi lines (Lashbrooke et al. 2015). MAH1 (CYP96A15, Solyc...
by activated factor XIII (FXIIIa, activated by thrombin) also renders the clot insoluble (for more information, see Factor XIII). Thus, thrombin uses multiple prongs to assure survival of its creation, fibrin, and affects the normal delicate balance between thrombus formation and thrombus ...
There was also some divergence in the identity of the genes with defined effector functions and some variability in the magnitude for the αKG-sensitive induction of genes between CD4+ Th1 and CD8+ Tc1 cells (Figure 1, 2, and S2). Taken together, these data suggest that IL-2-sensitive ...
1a). Importantly, there was no significant difference in differentiation state between WT and FI3KO cells, as determined by the expression of mature adipocyte marker genes (Supplementary Fig. 1b). We observed higher p-AKT levels in FI3KO adipocytes compared with WT cells even in the absence ...
