ANOTHERterrific aspect of a visit is learning. It's wonderful to see groups of school kids taking photos, soaking it all up. And the knowledgeable volunteers who are always within easy reach enrich the experience, answering questions, giving pointers on best viewing spots. We found the docents ...
Where Is Hair in Whales? First, let's look at baleen whales. Most of thebaleenwhales have hair follicles if not visible hair. The location of the hair follicles is similar to the whiskers in terrestrial mammals. They are found along the jawline on the upper and lower jaw, on the chin,...
Particles and fibres affect human health as a function of their properties such as chemical composition, size and shape but also depending on complex interactions in an organism that occur at various levels between particle uptake and target organ responses. While particulate pollution is one of the...
The keratinised nature of human skin with the triple layer of epidermis, dermis and hypodermis is regarded as an effective barrier to substances in the environment, provided that the skin remains intact. Exposure to airborne soot particles, or particulates from traffic pollution, are partly ...
The outer foreskin is heavily keratinized and therefore is considered well protected against pathogen penetration. It was shown [124] in ex vivo experiments with foreskin explants that it is indeed the case: HIV-1 does not penetrate the outer foreskin well. In contrast, the inner foreskin and ...
17. The method of claim 16, wherein introducing ascorbate, tropocollagen, and copper into the solvent further comprises introducing ascorbate, tropocollagen, and copper to achieve concentrations of about 21.5% m/v for ascorbate, about 8.0% m/v for tropocollagen, and about 1.0% m/v for copper...
Best Running/Walking Trail (Write-In Only; No Finalists) JEMISON PARK NATURE TRAIL 2901 Mountain Brook Parkway Jemison Park Nature Trail is a 3-mile "out and back" route for walkers and runners of all skill levels. Bring along the family (it's stroller-friendly!) for a leisurely stroll ...
Urobasal A and B are characterized by the expression of biomarkers usually expressed in the normal urothelium, while the squamous-like subtype expresses keratin 5 (KRT5), keratin 6 (KRT6), and keratin 14 (KRT14), which are specific to squamous differentiation. The infiltrated subtype is ...
In order to do this, basic research into the molecular mechanisms employed by plants to survive under elevated temperature is necessary. The sessile nature of plants precludes them from moving away from unfavorable conditions, forcing them to deal with elevated temperatures on site. Heat stress (HS...
that transports nucleosides (red) by creating pores in the membrane through a β-barrel motif (shown here in blue); and (c) Crystal structure of keratin (PDB ID: 3tnu), a fibrous structural protein whose toughness can be attributed to the helical coiled-coil structure it adopts in its fib...
