A BAC transgene expressing human CFTR under control of its regulatory elements rescues Cftr knockout mice
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
Small-molecule modulators of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) biology show promise in the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF). A Cftr knockout (Cftr KO) mouse expressing mutants of human CFTR would ...
Multidimensional approach to formulating a specialized diet for northern corn rootworm larvae
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
The northern corn rootworm (NCR), Diabrotica barberi Smith & Lawrence, is a major pest of maize (Zea mays L.). This pest has developed resistance to insecticides and adapted to crop rotation and may already be in the early ...
Multiple stochastic pathways in forced peptide-lipid membrane detachment
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
We have used high resolution AFM based dynamic force spectroscopy to investigate peptide-lipid membrane interactions by measuring the detachment (last-rupture) force distribution, P(F), and the corresponding force dependent ...
Through the lens of Jodi Cobb
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2019)
A National Geographic photographer looks back on an extraordinary career.
Evaluation of reference genes for real-time quantitative PCR analysis in southern corn rootworm, Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi (Barber)
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) is one of the most efficient, reliable and widely used techniques to quantify gene expression. In this study, we evaluated the performance of six southern corn rootworm, ...
Analysis of severe elevated thunderstorms over frontal surfaces using DCIN and DCAPE
(MDPI AG, 2019)
A 10-year study of elevated severe thunderstorms was performed using The National Centers for Environmental Information Storm Events Database. A total of 80 elevated thunderstorm cases were identified, verified, and divided ...
Selecting socio-scientific issues for teaching : a grounded theory study of how science teachers collaboratively design SSI-based curricula
(Springer Netherlands, 2019)
Currently there is little guidance given to teachers in selecting focal issues for socio-scientific issues (SSI)-based teaching and learning. As a majority of teachers regularly collaborate with other teachers, understanding ...
Crustal extension in North China since the Mesozoic: A numerical study
(KeAi Communications Co., 2019)
The ~1.8 billion years old North China Craton (NCC) has been thermally rejuvenated during the Mesozoic, experiencing two major phases of crustal extension and volcanism since then. The earlier phase of extension, lasted ...
A homozygous ADAMTS2 nonsense mutation in a Doberman Pinscher dog with Ehlers Danlos syndrome and extreme skin fragility
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2019)
An eight-week old Doberman Pinscher was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos syndrome based on the dog's hyper-mobile carpal, tarsal and stifle joints and abnormal skin. The skin was loose and hyper-elastic with several wounds and ...
Bariatric surgery plus medical therapy : effective Tx for T2DM?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2019)
Bariatric surgery + medical therapy: Effective Tx for T2DM? Short-term studies have indicated "Yes," but does a longterm randomized controlled trial give it a thumbs up? PRACTICE CHANGER: Consider bariatric surgery with ...
Discovery of anion insertion electrochemistry in layered hydroxide nanomaterials
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
Electrode materials which undergo anion insertion are a void in the materials innovation landscape and a missing link to energy efficient electrochemical desalination. In recent years layered hydroxides (LHs) have been ...
