Species co-occurrence: The case of congeneric species and a causal approach to patterns of species association
(2006)Aim: To test whether congeneric species are significantly associated with one another in space, either positively or negatively. Also, to provide a framework for a causal investigation of co-occurrence patterns by a parallel ...

The species-area relationship of terrestrial isopods (Isopoda
(1996)Data on species richness of terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea) from central Aegean islands (Greece), together with previously published data sets from other taxa and areas, are critically analysed under the basic premises of ...

Split-Inteins for Simultaneous, site-specific conjugation of Quantum Dots to multiple protein targets In vivo
(2011)Background: Proteins labelled with Quantum Dots (QDs) can be imaged over long periods of time with ultrahigh spatial and temporal resolution, yielding important information on the spatiotemporal dynamics of proteins within ...

Stable transfection of an estrogen receptor beta cDNA isoform into MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells
(2003)We previously reported stable transfection of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) into the ER-negative MDA-MB-231 cells (S30) as a tool to examine the mechanism of action of estrogen and antiestrogens [J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 84 ...

The story of a rock-star: multilocus phylogeny and species delimitation in the starred or roughtail rock agama, Laudakia stellio (Reptilia: Agamidae)
(Oxford Academic, 2022-01-31)Situated at the junction of three continents, Europe, Asia and Africa, the Eastern Mediterranean is an ideal region to study the effects of palaeogeography, ecology and long human presence on animal evolution. Laudakia ...

Structure-activity relationships of brassinin in preventing the development of carcinogen-induced mammary lesions in organ culture
(1994)Brassinin, a pkytoalexin, is found in Chinese cabbage. Previously, we showed that brassinin significantly inhibited dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary lesions in organ culture. Moreover, it was an effective ...

The substitution of arginine for glycine 85 of the α1(I) procollagen chain results in mild osteogenesis imperfecta. The mutation provides direct evidence for three discrete domains of cooperative melting of intact type I collagen
(1991)We report a case of mild osteogenesis imperfecta in a 56-year-old male undergoing aortic valve replacement surgery. The primary defect in this patient was the substitution of arginine for glycine 85 in one of the two chains ...

Substitution of cysteine for glycine-α1-691 in the proα1(I) chain of type I procollagen in a proband with lethal osteogenesis imperfecta destabilizes the triple helix at a site C-terminal to the substitution
(1991)Skin fibroblast from a proband with lethal osteogenesis imperfecta synthesized a type I procollagen containing a cysteine residue in the α1(I) helical domain. Assay of thermal stability of the triple helix by proteinase ...

Article
Substitution of serine for α1(I)-glycine 844 in a severe variant of osteogenesis imperfecta minimally destabilizes the triple helix of type I procollagen. The effects of glycine substitutions on thermal stability are either position or amino acid specific
(1989)Recent reports have demonstrated that a series of probands with severe osteogenesis imperfecta had single base mutations in one of the two structural genes for type I procollagen that substituted amino acids with bulkier ...

Article
Substitutions for glycine α1-637 and glycine α2-694 of type I procollagen in lethal osteogenesis imperfecta: The conformational strain on the triple helix introduced by a glycine substitution can be transmitted along the helix
(1991)Two substitutions for glycine in the triple-helical domain were found in type I procollagen synthesized by skin fibroblasts from two probands with lethal osteogenesis imperfecta. One was a substitution of valine for glycine ...

Substrate type has a limited impact on the sprint performance of a Mediterranean lizard
(Firenze University Press, 2019-12-27)Environmental factors may affect animal performance in diverse ways, even among different populations of a single species. Here, we assess the impact of substrate type on the sprint performance (maximum speed and acceleration) ...

Susceptibility of Cypriot Tuta absoluta populations to four targeted insecticides and control failure likelihood
(2019)Tuta absoluta, known as the South American tomato pinworm, is one of the most disastrous pests of tomato cultivations, presently menacing tomato cultivations worldwide. In 2006, T. absoluta invaded Spain from South America. ...

Synchronous parallel composition in a process calculus for ecological models
(2014)In this paper we extend PALPS, a process calculus proposed for the spatially-explicit, individual-based modeling of ecological systems, with a synchronous parallel operator. The semantics of the resulting calculus, S-PALPS, ...

Synergy between bacterial infection and genetic predisposition in intestinal dysplasia
(2009)Accumulating evidence suggests that hyperproliferating intestinal stem cells (SCs) and progenitors drive cancer initiation, maintenance, and metastasis. In addition, chronic inflammation and infection have been increasingly ...
