Cell-surface engineering strategies that permit long-lived display of well-defined, functionally active molecules are highly attractive for eliciting desired cellular responses and for understanding biological processes.…
During cryopreservation, ice recrystallization is a major cause of cellular damage. Conventional cryoprotectants such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and glycerol function by a number of…
Hormones, and hormone responses to social contexts, are the proximate mechanisms of evolutionary pathways to pair bonds and other social bonds. Testosterone (T) is implicated…
In this book, I contemplate the various ethical and social quandaries raised by the Genetic Revolution. Recent biomedical advances such as genetic screening, gene therapy, and…
This much revised and expanded edition provides a valuable and detailed summary of the many uses of diatoms in a wide range of applications in…
Effect of Exercise Amount and Intensity on Change in Adipose Tissue and Skeletal Muscle Distribution
PURPOSE: Habitual exercise is associated with marked reductions in both total and abdominal adipose tissue (AT), however, the optimal dose (amount and intensity) of exercise required…
Sediment cores comprised of sediments deposited during the last 40-100 years were retrieved from two reservoirs in the recently populated Dry Zone of Sri Lanka.…
BACKGROUND: The development of postinfectious-irritable bowel syndrome is associated with psychological stress but this relationship is poorly understood. The mouse Citrobacter rodentium model enhances the…
In recent years, the use of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) to evaluate environmental benefits resulting from the production of biofuel from microalgae has continued to…
Having capacity for a relatively large plant body size is usually regarded as a key functional trait associated with success under competition between resident species…
