Page, Hillary N., Newman, Reg F., Bork, Edward W.
Pre- and post-thinning relationships between forest overstorey and understorey characteristics at sites in both the Interior Douglas-fir (IDF) and Ponderosa Pine (PP) biogeoclimatic zones in the East Kootenay region of southeast British Columbia were investigated to quantify understorey responses...

Glucose-regulated glucagon secretion requires insulin receptor expression in pancreatic α-cells
Download2005
Chan, Catherine B., Wheeler, Michael B., Asghar, Zeenat, Diao, Jingyu
The insulin receptor (IR) and its signaling appear to be essential for insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. However, much less is known about the role of the IR in α-cells. To assess the role of the IR in glucagon and insulin secretion, we engineered adeno-viruses for high efficiency small...
