Microclimatic changes and the indirect loss of ant diversity in a tropical agroecosystem
(Springer-Verlag, 1996-11)
Recent changes in the coffee agroecosystem of Costa Rica were used to study the mechanism of biodiversity loss in transforming agroecosystems, focusing on the ground-foraging ant community. Coffee farms are being transformed ...
Bone regeneration via skeletal cell lineage plasticity: All hands mobilized for emergencies
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2021-01)
An emerging concept is that quiescent mature skeletal cells provide an important cellular source for bone regeneration. It has long been considered that a small number of resident skeletal stem cells are solely responsible ...
Methodological Advances for Drug Discovery and Protein Engineering
(2018)
Designing and engineering molecules that have specified properties not only test our understanding of nature but also play an important role in improving both human health and industrial productivity. Two such examples are ...
Inside or Out: Characterizing petrobactin use by Bacillus anthracis
(2018)
Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacillus and causes the disease anthrax. Anthrax is a deadly infection that begins with phagocytosis of a B. anthracis spore by an antigen presenting cell and ends when ...
Sexual Deprivation, Emotion, and Longevity: Neuropeptidergic Regulation of Aging in Drosophila
(2018)
While researchers often focus on the brain as a victim of aging via neurodegenerative diseases, recent work has demonstrated that the aging process is regulated by neural mechanisms. Thus, we asked which mechanisms and ...
Hsp70 chaperone Proteins and their Interactions with Various Drugs as Studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.
(2011)
Chaperone proteins and their cochaperones are perhaps one of the most intriguing systems for investigation. Ubiquitous in nature, they can be found in every organism and that perhaps is the reason that their sequence shows ...
