Since antiquity, fever has been documented as a physiological response to infection characterized by an increase in body temperature. Though fever is commonly regarded as a deleterious symptom of inflammation and is often suppressed using NSAID drugs, little is known about the effects that fever...

Molecular cloning of cDNA encoding a 55-kDa multifunctional thyroid hormone binding protein of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum
Download1990-01-01
Fliegel, Larry, Newton, E., Burns, K., Michalak, M.
A cDNA clone encoding 55-kDa multifunctional, thyroid hormone binding protein of rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum was isolated and sequenced. The cDNA encoded a protein of 509 amino acids, and a comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence with the NH2-terminal amino acid sequence...

The basic human right to have safe and clean drinking water cannot be neglected with the ever-rising worldwide need for drinking water that meets global standards. Local monitoring of water sources is even more vital in areas where access to pure drinking water is limited and its processing...

PFOS or PreFOS? Are perfluorooctane sulfonate precursors (PreFOS) important determinants of human and environmental perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) exposure?

Benskin, J.P., Ross, M.S., Beesoon, S., Martin, J.W., Asher, B.J.
The extent to which perfluorooctanesulfonate precursors (PreFOS) play a role in human or environmental exposure to perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) is not well characterized. The diversity of manufactured PreFOS and its degradation products (e.g. C8F17SO2R and C8F17SO2NR0R00, where R is H or F,...

Serpe, Michael J., Islam, Molla R.
In this submission we fabricated a humidity-responsive polymer-based actuator by layering negatively charged poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid microgels and positively charged poly(diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride) on top of a flexible plastic substrate. We show that the extent of the...

Ciriaco, Thayanne M. G., Wambura, Veronica, Wong, Stephen D.
A changing climate is placing significant strain on urban environments as communities are contending with intensifying and more frequent hazards. Communities are simultaneously facing ongoing and new societal challenges that centre around a need for critical services and resources. To help people...

van Houten, B., Patel, M., Chan, C. B., Orrenius, S. , Fariss, M. W.
Oxidative stress and mitochondrial oxidative damage have been implicated in the etiology of numerous common diseases. The critical mitochondrial events responsible for oxidative stress–mediated cell death (toxic oxidative stress), however, have yet to be defined. Several oxidative events...

Specific detection of Campylobacter jejuni using the bacteriophage NCTC 12673 receptor binding protein as a probe
Download2011
Szymanski, Christine M., Arutyunov, Denis, McDermott, Mark T., Evoy, Stephane, Singh, Amit
Campylobacter jejuni is found in the intestines of poultry, cattle, swine, wild birds and pet animals and is the major cause of foodborne gastroenteritis in developed countries. We report the use of the receptor binding protein (RBP) of Campylobacter bacteriophage NCTC 12673 for the specific...
