Building sensory receptors on the tongue
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2004-12)
Neurotrophins, neurotrophin receptors and sensory neurons are required for the development of lingual sense organs. For example, neurotrophin 3 sustains lingual somatosensory neurons. In the traditional view, sensory axons ...
A growth/mortality trade-off in larval salamanders and the coexistence of intraguild predators and prey
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-01)
Behavioral and morphological traits often influence a key trade-off between resource acquisition and vulnerability to predation, and understanding trait differences between species can provide critical insight into their ...
Spatial compartmentalization of signal transduction in insulin action
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-03)
Insulin resistance is thought to be the primary defect in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes. Thus, understanding the cellular mechanisms of insulin action may contribute significantly to developing new treatments for ...
Allelic mutations of the sodium channel SCN8A reveal multiple cellular and physiological functions
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-09)
Allelic mutations of Scn8a in the mouse have revealed the range of neurological disorders that can result from alternations of one neuronal sodium channel. Null mutations produce the most severe phenotype, with motor neuron ...
MACF1 gene structure: a hybrid of plectin and dystrophin
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 2001-11)
Mammalian MACF1 (Macrophin1; previously named ACF7) is a giant cytoskeletal linker protein with three known isoforms that arise by alternative splicing. We isolated a 19.1-kb cDNA encoding a fourth isoform (MACF1-4) with ...
On the fiftieth anniversary of the Schaechter, MaalØe, Kjeldgaard experiments: implications for cell-cycle and cell-growth control
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-10)
The Schaechter–MaalØe–Kjeldgaard papers, which have their 50 th anniversary this year, have major implications for understanding the cell cycle, control of cell growth, control of cell size, metabolic control, the basic ...
Combined effects of atmospheric CO 2 and N availability on the belowground carbon and nitrogen dynamics of aspen mesocosms
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2000-08)
It is uncertain whether elevated atmospheric CO 2 will increase C storage in terrestrial ecosystems without concomitant increases in plant access to N. Elevated CO 2 may alter microbial activities that regulate soil N ...
Letter to the Editor: TROSY-driven NMR backbone assignments of the 381-residue nucleotide-binding domain of the Thermus Thermophilus DnaK molecular chaperone
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-09)
Distinctive spatiotemporal expression patterns for neurotrophins develop in gustatory papillae and lingual tissues in embryonic tongue organ cultures
(Springer-Verlag, 2001-01)
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) mRNAs are expressed in the developing rat tongue and taste organs in specific spatiotemporal patterns. BDNF mRNA is present in the early lingual gustatory ...
Soil respiration in northern forests exposed to elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide and ozone
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-02-18)
The aspen free-air CO 2 and O 3 enrichment (FACTS II–FACE) study in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, USA, is designed to understand the mechanisms by which young northern deciduous forest ecosystems respond to elevated atmospheric ...
