Phosphate Deprivation Can Impair Mechano-Stimulated Cytosolic Free Calcium Elevation in Arabidopsis Roots.
The root tip responds to mechanical stimulation with a transient increase in cytosolic free calcium as a possible second messenger. Although the root tip will grow through a heterogeneous soil nutrient supply, little is known of...

An Energy Harvester for Low-Frequency Electrical Signals

Generating electricity from low-frequency mechanical agitations produced by ocean waves, plants, or human motion is emerging as a key, environmentally friendly technology in combating harmful emissions caused by burning...

From behavioural simulation to computer models
Simulation is a technique that evokes or replicates substantial aspects of the real world, in order to experiment with a simplified imitation of an operations system, for the purpose of better understanding and/or improving that...

Chemical Reporters for Investigating Lipidated Proteins at the Host-Pathogen Interface
Guillaume Charron
Jan 01, 0001
Lipidation of proteins regulates many cellular processes such as signaling transduction and membrane sorting by modulating protein localization and proteinprotein interactions. As such, defects in protein lipidation can render...

Robust modulation of integrate-and-fire models
By controlling the state of neuronal populations, neuromodulators ultimately affect behaviour. A key neuromodulation mechanism is the alteration of neu- ronal excitability via the modulation of ion channel expression. This type...

Fungal Endophyte Alternaria tenuissima Can Affect Growth and Selenium Accumulation in Its Hyperaccumulator Host Astragalus bisulcatus
Endophytes can enhance plant stress tolerance by promoting growth and affecting elemental accumulation, which may be useful in phytoremediation. In earlier studies, up to 35% elemental selenium (Se0 ) was found in Se...

Identity Determinants of the Translocation Signal for a Type 1 Secretion System
The toxin hemolysin A was first identified in uropathogenic E. coli strains and shown to be secreted in a one-step mechanism by a dedicated secretion machinery. This machinery, which belongs to...

Structure and efflux mechanism of the yeast pleiotropic drug resistance transporter Pdr5
Abstract: Pdr5, a member of the extensive ABC transporter superfamily, is representative of a clinically relevant subgroup involved in pleiotropic drug resistance. Pdr5 and its homologues drive drug efflux through uncoupled...

Personalized and graph genomes reveal missing signal in epigenomic data.
BACKGROUND: Epigenomic studies that use next generation sequencing experiments typically rely on the alignment of reads to a reference sequence. However, because of genetic diversity and the diploid nature of the human genome...

Challenges in making standardisation work in healthcare
OBJECTIVE:To identify and learn from efforts to design and implement a standardised policy for labelling of invasive tubing and lines across a regional health system. DESIGN:Single case study involving qualitative interviews and...

Neuroscience out of control
A major challenge in systems neuroscience is to understand how the dynamics of neural circuits give rise to behaviour. Analysis of complex dynamical systems is also at the heart of control engineering, where it is central to the...

The dynamic mechanical properties of cellularised aggregates.
Cellularised materials are composed of cells interfaced through specialised intercellular junctions that link the cytoskeleton of one cell to that of its neighbours allowing for transmission of forces. Cellularised materials are...

Flt3 signaling-dependent dendritic cells protect against atherosclerosis
Early events in atherosclerosis occur in the aortic intima and involve monocytes that become macrophages. We looked for these cells in the steady state adult mouse aorta, and surprisingly, we found a dominance of dendritic cells...

Optimal anticipatory control as a theory of motor preparation
Across a range of motor and cognitive tasks, cortical activity can be accurately described by low-dimensional dynamics unfolding from specific initial conditions on every trial. These "preparatory states" largely determine the...
