Improvement of in vitro and early in utero porcine clone development after somatic donor cells are cultured under hypoxia
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2019)
Genetically engineered pigs serve as excellent biomedical and agricultural models. To date, the most reliable way to generate genetically engineered pigs is via somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), however, the efficiency ...
Speaking the mind of Molly

Kathleen Turner stars in alumna Peggy Engel's Red-Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins, a one-woman play about the controversial columnist.
Something Old and Something New: Future Directions in Vocational Research With People of Color in the United States
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2019)
Vocational psychology scholarship has largely overlooked the work experiences of people of color. In this article, we present evidence that vocational research that addresses the work issues of people of color has been ...
Structure of the gene therapy vector, adeno-associated virus with its cell receptor, aavr
(eLife Sciences Publications Ltd, 2019)
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are preeminent in emerging clinical gene therapies. Generalizing beyond the most tractable genetic diseases will require modulation of cell specificity and immune neutralization. ...
Comparative proteomic analysis unveils critical pathways underlying the role of Nitrogen fertilizer treatment in American elderberry
(MDPI AG, 2019)
American elderberry (Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis) is a rapidly growing specialty crop in Missouri and eastern North America. Nitrogen (N) is a major nutrient involved in plant growth and development. However, proteome ...
Autocryopicker: An unsupervised learning approach for fully automated single particle picking in cryo-em images
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)
Background: An important task of macromolecular structure determination by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is the identification of single particles in micrographs (particle picking). Due to the necessity of human ...
Isolation and characterization T4-and T7-like phages that infect the bacterial plant pathogen agrobacterium tumefaciens
(MDPI AG, 2019)
In the rhizosphere, bacteria–phage interactions are likely to have important impacts on the ecology of microbial communities and microbe–plant interactions. To better understand the dynamics of Agrobacteria–phage interactions, ...
Accelerated Fill-Up of the Arbuckle Group Aquifer and Links to U.S. Midcontinent Seismicity
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2019)
The Arbuckle Group aquifer is the principal disposal zone for oil and gas field brines and hazardous/nonhazardous wastewater across the U.S. midcontinent and is traditionally viewed as an infinite capacity aquifer. Thousands ...
Rats Selectively Bred for High Voluntary Physical Activity Behavior are Not Protected from the Deleterious Metabolic Effects of a Western Diet When Sedentary
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
Background: Physical activity and diet are well-established modifiable factors that influence chronic disease risk. We developed a selectively bred, polygenic model for high and low voluntary running (HVR and LVR, respectively) ...
Papillomavirus DNA not detected in canine lobular orbital adenoma and normal conjunctival tissue
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)
Background: Canine lobular orbital adenomas are benign tumors that arise from orbital glandular tissue and extend into the orbit, conjunctiva, and third eyelid. Surgical excision is challenging and recurrence rates are ...
Influence of pH, ionic strength and natural organic matter concentration on a MIP-Fluorescent sensor for the quantification of DNT in water
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
The effect of sample water chemistry on a carbon dot labeled molecularly imprinted polymer (AC-MIP) sensor for the detection of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) was investigated. Hydrogel MIP films were fabricated and tested in ...
Concurrent and long-term associations between the endometrial microbiota and endometrial transcriptome in postpartum dairy cows
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)
Background: Fertility in dairy cows depends on ovarian cyclicity and on uterine involution. Ovarian cyclicity and uterine involution are delayed when there is uterine dysbiosis (overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria). Fertility ...
Direct visualization of the E. Coli Sec translocase engaging precursor proteins in lipid bilayers
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019)
Escherichia coli exports proteins via a translocase comprising SecA and the translocon, SecYEG. Structural changes of active translocases underlie general secretory system function, yet directly visualizing dynamics has ...
Kidney and cystic volume imaging for disease presentation and progression in the cat autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease large animal model
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)
Background: Approximately 30 percent of Persian cats have a c.10063C > A variant in polycystin 1 (PKD1) homolog causing autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The variant is lethal in utero when in the ...
Maximizing Expected Coverage of Flow and Opportunity for Diversion in Networked Systems
(Springer New York LLC, 2019)
Placement of facilities, such as those providing surveillance or assistance functions, is essential for effective and efficient system operation. Planning for where to provide these types of services in a network necessitates ...
Maternal dietary docosahexaenoic acid alters lipid peroxidation products and (N-3)/(n-6) fatty acid balance in offspring mice
(MDPI AG, 2019)
The abundance of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the mammalian brain has generated substantial interest in the search for its roles in regulating brain functions. Our recent study with a gene/stress mouse model provided ...
Investigating short-term and long-term binder performance of high-RAP mixtures containing waste cooking oil
