Fig. 1: Physiology of Brca2L2431P homozygous and hemizygous mice. a Schematic representation of BRCA2 protein showing different functional domains: N-terminal PALB2 binding domain, eight BRC repeats in the middle and a C-terminal DNA binding domain consisting of a helical domain (HD) and three...
The finest grades of abaca are noted for being fine, light, and exceptionally strong. Its ability to grow on less fertile land makes it a sustainable fiber production option. Besides its economic benefits, abaca holds cultural and traditional significance in some Ecuadorian communities [66]. The ...
While anodizing is integral to manufacturing high quality aluminum parts, there are a few things to keep in mind before going ahead with the process. Of course, not all materials can be anodized. You will likely only ever anodize aluminum, though titanium, zinc, tantalum and niobium may also...
Here, we describe a role for γ-amino butyric acid (GABA) in pollen tube growth and guidance. In vitro, GABA stimulates pollen tube growth, although vast excesses are inhibitory. The Arabidopsis POP2 gene encodes a transaminase that degrades GABA and contributes to the formation of a gradient...
As used herein, the term “resorbable” means that the device, or part thereof, degrades in vivo by dissolution, enzymatic hydrolysis, erosion, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, this degradation occurs at a time that does not interfere with the intended kinetics of release of the ...
A double-strand break (DSB) is the most deleterious type of DNA damage. The aberrant repair of DSB can cause genome instability, cell death, or uncontrolled cell growth (Ciccia and Elledge, 2010). There are two main mechanisms to repair DSBs: the error-free repair pathway of homology-direct...
