Our laboratory has recently demonstrated a role for the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-
mediated inducible NO synthase (iNOS) signaling pathway in acute regulation of insulin …

The past two decades have brought with them remarkable progress in plant chromosomal
research. The chromosome structure has been clarified in great detail, enabling …

Background Mycorrhizae, symbiotic interactions between soil fungi and tree roots, are
ubiquitous in terrestrial ecosystems. The fungi contribute phosphorous, nitrogen and …

With the completion of the poplar tree genome database, Populus species have become
one of the most useful model systems for the study of woody plant biology. Populus …

Cryptography is the science of encryption and decryption of data using the techniques of
mathematics to achieve secure communication. This enables the user to send the data in an …

Potato virus X coat protein (PVXCP) is, through communication with host proteins, involved
in processes such as virus movement and symptom development. Here, we report that …

The epithelial Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell line and 17 human cell lines were
examined for sensitivity to Clostridium perfringens type D a-toxin. MDCK cells were …

In this study, we examined the regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase
(MKP-1) expression by insulin in primary vascular smooth muscle cell cultures. Insulin …

Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) renders profiling of genes of interest less
time-consuming and cost-effective. Recently, multiplex profiling of miRNAs has enabled …

A novel dual-microdialysis approach has been developed for fast and efficient fractionation
and cleanup for ESI-MS and ESI MS/MS analyses of biological samples. A modified dynamic …
