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, ...
Studying gap junctions with PARIS : a new genetically encoded system manipulates the ph inside cells to detect whether they are coupled to each other
(eLife Sciences Publications Ltd, 2019)

Effects of Timber Harvest on Amphibian Populations: Understanding Mechanisms from Forest Experiments. Appendix
(2009)
The Appendix provides a summary of results for four forest management treatments according to region, species, and response variables.
Experimental evaluation of apparent tissue surface tension based on the exact solution of the Laplace equation
(IOP, 2008)
The notion of apparent tissue surface tension offered a systematic way to interpret
certain morphogenetic processes in early development. It also allowed deducing quantitative information on cellular and molecular parameters ...
Effects of Timber Harvest on Amphibian Populations: Understanding Mechanisms from Forest Experiments
(American Institute of Biological Sciences, 2009)
Harvesting timber is a common form of land use that has the potential to cause declines in amphibian populations. It is essential to understand the behavior and fate of individuals and the resulting consequences for vital ...
Biogenesis of the Protein Storage Vacuole Crystalloid
(The Journal of Cell Biology, 2000)
We identify new organelles associated with the vacuolar system in plant cells. These organelles are defined biochemically by their internal content of three integral membrane proteins: a chimeric reporter protein that moves ...
Coregulation of Ion Channel Conductances Preserves Output in a Computational Model of a Crustacean Cardiac Motor Neuron
(Society for Neuroscience, 2010)
Similar activity patterns at both neuron and network levels can arise from different combinations of membrane and synaptic conductance values. A strategy by which neurons may preserve their electrical output is via cell ...
An Extensive New Literature Concerning Low-Dose Effects of Bisphenol A Shows the Need for a New Risk Assessment
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2005)
Bisphenol A (BPA) is the monomer used to manufacture polycarbonate plastic, the resin lining of cans, and other products, with global capacity in excess of 6.4 billion lb/year. Because the ester bonds in these BPA-based ...
Haplo-Insufficiency of MPK3 in MPK6 Mutant Background Uncovers a Novel Function of These Two MAPKs in Arabidopsis Ovule Development
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2008)
The plant life cycle includes diploid sporophytic and haploid gametophytic generations. Female gametophytes (embryo
sacs) in higher plants are embedded in specialized sporophytic structures (ovules). Here, we report that ...
Why Public Health Agencies Cannot Depend on Good Laboratory Practices as a Criterion for Selecting Data: The Case of Bisphenol A
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2009)
We reviewed differences between industry-funded GLP studies of BPA conducted by commercial laboratories for regulatory purposes and non-GLP studies conducted in academic and government laboratories to identify hazards and ...
Meeting Report: Batch-to-Batch Variability in Estrogenic Activity in Commercial Animal Diets—Importance and Approaches for Laboratory Animal Research
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2008)
We report information from two workshops sponsored by the National Institutes of Health that were held to a) assess whether dietary estrogens could significantly impact end points in experimental animals, and b) involve ...
Exposure to a Low Dose of Bisphenol A during Fetal Life or in Adulthood Alters Maternal Behavior in Mice
(National Institute of Environmental Health SciencesEnvironmental Health Perspectives, 2002)
Maternal behavior in mammals is the result of a complex interaction between the lactating dam
and her developing offspring. Slight perturbations of any of the components of the mother-infant interaction may result in ...
Anogenital Distance and Phthalate Exposure: Swan et al. Respond
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2006)
Swan et al. respond to several points made by McEwen and Renner regarding their recent study comparing anogenital distance (AGD) as a measure of androgen action in humans.
Good Laboratory Practices Are Not Synonymous with Good Scientific Practices, Accurate Reporting, or Valid Data
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2010)
In her commentary, Tyl (2009) responded to our criticism (Myers et al. 2009) of her bisphenol A (BPA) research (Tyl et al. 2008), and she defended the reliance on Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) in animal studies concerning ...
Evaluating the Effects of Endocrine Disruptors on Endocrine Function during Development
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1999)
The major concerns with endocrine disruptors in the environment are based mostly on effects that have been observed on the developing embryo and fetus. The focus of the present manuscript is on disruption of three hormonal ...
Estradiol and Bisphenol A Stimulate Androgen Receptor and Estrogen Receptor Gene Expression in Fetal Mouse Prostate Mesenchyme Cells
(Environmental Health Perspectives, 2007)
Hormonal alterations during development have lifelong effects on the prostate gland. Endogenous estrogens, including 17β-estradiol (E2), and synthetic estrogenic endocrine disruptors, such as bisphenol A (BPA), have similar ...
Good Laboratory Practices: Myers et al. Respond
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2009)
Myers et al. respond to a letter written by Becker et al. regarding Myers' article "Why public health agencies cannot depend on Good Laboratory Practices as a criterion for selecting data: the case of bisphenol A."
Developmental Effects of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals in Wildlife and Humans
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1993)
Large numbers and large quantities of endocrine-disrupting chemicals have been released into the environment since World War II. Many of these chemicals can disturb development of the endocrine system and of the organs ...
Large Effects from Small Exposures. I. Mechanisms for Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals with Estrogenic Activity
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2003)
Information concerning the fundamental mechanisms of action of both natural and environmental hormones, combined with information concerning endogenous hormone concentrations, reveals how endocrine-disrupting chemicals ...
Response
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1998)
Welshons et al. respond to Ashby and Odum regarding their experimental design research on fetal exposure to very low doses of the environmental estrogen bisphenol A.
