Sphingosine-1-phosphate inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell migration by activating Gα₁₂ and RhoA
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is important in growth, healing, and disease. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a lysophospholipid with potent angiogenic effects. One of these effects is its regulation of ...
Real-time trafficking and assembly of ribosomal subunits
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) facilitate the bidirectional transport of a myriad of molecules, ranging in size from an ion to assembled ribosomal subunits, across the two lipid bilayers that constitute the nuclear envelope ...
Perinatal lead exposure sensitizes rats to the rewarding effects of cocaine, but not cocaine/3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine(MDMA) combinations
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Early-age lead exposure has been shown to have various behavioral effects later in life, including learning deficits and mental retardation. Recent evidence indicates that early lead exposure may serve as a risk factor ...
The role of nitric oxide in testosterone-induced vasodilation in pig coronary arteries and rat thoracic aorta
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Several studies have provided evidence that the administration of testosterone to vascular tissue causes vasodilation (Costarella, Yue). This study examines the role of nitric oxide (NO) as a potential mechanism of ...
Barnase as a model for the denatured state of proteins
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Protein folding is one of the major thrusts of biochemical research today. It is the study of how proteins fold into their tertiary structure based solely on their sequence of amino acids. It was once believed that no ...
The eschatology of the apostle Paul
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Eschatology in Christian theology means doctrines about the return of Christ to Earth and matters related to that return, such as the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, the beginning of the etemal Kingdom of ...
Skin tone of targets, lineup type, and confidence levels in cross-racial identification
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
The current experiment investigated facial recognition memory for own and other-race faces. Two variations (light-skin and dark-skin) were presented for the Black targets. The purpose of this experiment was to observe ...
Stabilizing the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) by nucleotide derivative binding to promote proper folding
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Seventy percent of people who suffer from cystic fibrosis have a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene on chromosome 7 that contains a three base-pair deletion of phenylalanine at position 508, in a ...
Polarized light propagation in highly scattering turbid media with a distribution of the particle size: a Monte Carlo study
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
The light propagation in highly scattering turbid media composed of the particles with different size distribution is studied using a Monte Carlo simulation model implemented in Standard C. Monte Carlo method has been ...
THE EFFECTS OF REPEATED MORPHINE EXPOSURE ON METABOTROPIC GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR ACTIVITY IN ADOLESCENT MICE
(2013-02-04)
Adolescent mice exhibit marked changes in D2/D3 dopamine receptor activity following administration of certain opioids. Thus, the present study examined whether repeated exposure to morphine would also modulate the activity ...
