Effects of in Vivo CD8+ T cell depletion on virus replication in rhesus macaques immunized with a live, attenuated simian immunodeficiency virus vaccine
(2000)The role of CD8+ T lymphocytes in controlling replication of live, attenuated simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) was investigated as part of a vaccine study to examine the correlates of protection in the SIV/rhesus macaque ...

Efficacy of garbanzo and soybean flour in suppression of aberrant crypt foci in the colons of CF-1 mice
(2004)Background: Epidemiological studies have reported a low incidence of colon cancer in countries with high legume consumption. Moreover, experimental studies have found that legumes, such as soybeans and pinto beans, have ...

Embryonic multipotent progenitors remodel the Drosophila airways during metamorphosis
(2010)Adult structures in holometabolous insects such as Drosophila are generated by groups of imaginal cells dedicated to the formation of different organs. Imaginal cells are specified in the embryo and remain quiescent until ...

Emergence of drug-resistant HIV-1 variants in patients undergoing structured treatment interruptions
(2002)We report the emergence of drug-resistant viral mutations in chronically HIV-infected individuals undergoing structured treatment interruptions (STI). The protease mutation M46L and the reverse transcriptase mutations K101E ...

Emergence of Minor Populations of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Carrying the M184V and L90M Mutations in Subjects Undergoing Structured Treatment Interruptions
(2003)The use of structured treatment interruption (STI) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected subjects is currently being studied as an alternative therapeutic strategy for HIV-1. The potential risk for selection of ...

An energy-efficient and error-resilient server ecosystem exceeding conservative scaling limits
(2018)The explosive growth of Internet-connected devices will soon result in a flood of generated data, which will increase the demand for network bandwidth as well as compute power to process the generated data. Consequently, ...

Environment shapes the digestive performance in a Mediterranean lizard
(2017)An efficient digestive system is of pivotal importance for survival as it governs the energy flow from the environment to organisms. Reptiles require relatively little energy, and their digestive system can readily respond ...

Epistatic Role of the MYH9/APOL1 Region on Familial Hematuria Genes
(2013)Familial hematuria (FH) is explained by at least four different genes (see below). About 50% of patients develop late proteinuria and chronic kidney disease (CKD). We hypothesized that MYH9/APOL1, two closely linked genes ...

Equol enhances tamoxifen's anti-tumor activity by induction of caspase-mediated apoptosis in MCF-7 breast cancer cells
(2013)Background: Soy phytoestrogens, such as daidzein and its metabolite equol, have been proposed to be responsible for the low breast cancer rate in Asian women. Since the majority of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer ...

An error in dystrophin mRNA processing in golden retriever muscular dystrophy, an animal homologue of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
(1992)Golden retriever muscular dystrophy (GRMD) is a spontaneous, X-linked, progressively fatal disease of dogs and is also a homologue of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Two-thirds of DMD patients carry detectable deletions ...

Estimating the population size of Scopoli's Shearwaters (Calonectris diomedea) frequenting the Strofades islands (Ionian Sea, western Greece) by raft counts and surveys of breeding pairs
(2017)The Strofades Island complex in the Ionian Sea comprises two small islands, i.e. Stamfani and Arpyia, and several rocks. The islands host a significant Scopoli's Shearwater (Calonectris diomedea) colony, which is regarded ...

Article
Ets2 is necessary in trophoblast for normal embryonic anteroposterior axis development
(2006)Although the trophoblast is necessary for the growth, viability and patterning of the mammalian embryo, understanding of its patterning role is still rudimentary. Expression of the transcription factor Ets2 is restricted ...

Ets2-dependent trophoblast signalling is required for gastrulation progression after primitive streak initiation
(2013)Although extraembryonic ectoderm trophoblast signals the embryo for primitive streak initiation, a prerequisite for gastrulation, it is unknown whether it also signals for the progression of gastrulation after primitive ...

A European spectrum of pharmacogenomic biomarkers: Implications for clinical pharmacogenomics
(2016)Pharmacogenomics aims to correlate inter-individual differences of drug efficacy and/or toxicity with the underlying genetic composition, particularly in genes encoding for protein factors and enzymes involved in drug ...
