Consumer Rankings of Risk Reduction Methods
When a buyer perceives risk in a purchase he can pursue different strategies of risk resolution. This article presents research findings which indicate that consumers have prefe...
Histopathologic-Based Prognostic Factors of Colorectal Cancers Are Associated With the State of the Local Immune Reaction
Purpose The prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer has sometimes proved uncertain; thus, the prognostic significance of immune criteria was compared with that of the tumor...
Plant-Based Dietary Patterns and Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes in US Men and Women: Results from Three Prospective Cohort Studies
Our study suggests that plant-based diets, especially when rich in high-quality plant foods, are associated with substantially lower risk of developing T2D. This supports curren...
The formation of skeletal muscle: from somite to limb
Abstract During embryogenesis, skeletal muscle forms in the vertebrate limb from progenitor cells originating in the somites. These cells delaminate from the hypaxial edge of th...
Remembering the past: two facets of episodic memory explored with positron emission tomography
These results indicate that free-ranging mental activity (random episodic memory) produces large activations in association cortex and may reflect both active retrieval of past ...
Assemblathon 1: A competitive assessment of de novo short read assembly methods
Low-cost short read sequencing technology has revolutionized genomics, though it is only just becoming practical for the high-quality de novo assembly of a novel large genome. W...
Modern metabolism as a palimpsest of the RNA world.
An approach is developed for constructing models of ancient organisms using data from metabolic pathways, genetic organization, chemical structure, and enzymatic reaction mechan...
Immunologic NO Synthase: Elevation in Severe AIDS Dementia and Induction by HIV-1 gp41
Indirect mechanisms are implicated in the pathogenesis of the dementia associated with human immunodeficiency virus-type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Proinflammatory molecules such as t...
Imaging and Time-Resolved Spectroscopy of Single Molecules at an Interface
Far-field microscopy was used to noninvasively measure the room-temperature optical properties of single dye molecules located on a polymer-air interface. Shifts in the fluoresc...
Validation of Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Biomolecules Using NMR Spin Relaxation as Benchmarks: Application to the AMBER99SB Force Field
Biological function of biomolecules is accompanied by a wide range of motional behavior. Accurate modeling of dynamics by molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations is therefo...
Growth characteristics of a mouse plasma cell tumor.
Summary A quantitative spleen-colony assay was developed and used to evaluate the growth characteristics of the Adj. PC-5 colony-forming units (CFU). There was a positive corre...
