Possible Consequences of Climate Change on Survival, Productivity and Reproductive Performance, and Welfare of Himalayan Yak (Bos grunniens).
Yak are adapted to the extreme cold, low oxygen, and high solar radiation of the Himalaya. Traditionally, they are kept at high altitude pastures during summer, moving lower in the winter. This system is highly susceptible to...

In vitro and in vivo effects of the PPAR-alpha agonists fenofibrate and retinoic acid in endometrial cancer.
UNLABELLED: Fenofibrate, an agonist of PPAR-alpha, in doses above 25 microM, inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in Ishikawa endometrial cancer cells. We show that these effects are potentiated by retinoic acid, an...

Molecular basis of C-mannosylation - a structural perspective
The structural and functional diversity of proteins can be enhanced by numerous post-translational modifications. C-mannosylation is a rare form of glycosylation consisting of a single alpha or beta D-mannopyranose forming a...
Faecal immunochemical test to triage patients with abdominal symptoms for suspected colorectal cancer in primary care
Marije van Melle, Samir IS Yep Manzano, Hugh Wilson, Willie Hamilton, Fiona M Walter, Sarah ER Bailey
Apr 20, 2020
BACKGROUND: Recently, faecal immunochemical tests (FITs) have been introduced for investigation of primary care patients with low-risk symptoms of colorectal cancer (CRC), but recommendations vary across the world. This...
Selectivity of the collagen-binding integrin inhibitors, TC-I-15 and obtustatin.
Integrins are a family of 24 adhesion receptors which are both widely-expressed and important in many pathophysiological cellular processes, from embryonic development to cancer metastasis. Hence, integrin inhibitors are...
Travelling wave solutions for a quasilinear model of field dislocation mechanics
We consider an exact reduction of a model of Field Dislocatin Mechanics to a scalar problem in one spatial dimension and investigate the existence of static and slow, rigidly moving single or collections of planar screw...
Subtype-selective regulation of IP<sub>3</sub> receptors by thimerosal via cysteine residues within the IP<sub>3</sub>-binding core and suppressor domain
IPR (IP [inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate] receptors) and ryanodine receptors are the most widely expressed intracellular Ca channels and both are regulated by thiol reagents. In DT40 cells stably expressing single subtypes of...

Fossil snakes are relatively well represented in the Upper Cretaceous of northern Africa, with material known from Morocco, Sudan, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, and Niger. The Moroccan Kem Kem beds have yielded a particularly...
Crystal structure of human angiogenin with an engineered loop exhibits conformational flexibility at the functional regions of the molecule
Human angiogenin (ANG) is an angiogenic molecule and a ribonucleolytic enzyme with significant amino acid sequence identity to pancreatic RNase A, plays a critical role in the establishment and growth of tumours. An association...
