(2066) Proposal to conserve the name Hapalosiphonaceae against Lunoeviaceae (Cyanophyta or Cyanobacteria )

Morphological and molecular study of epipelic filamentous genera Phormidium, Microcoleus and Geitlerinema (Oscillatoriales, Cyanophyta/Cyanobacteria)

Filamentous epipelic cyanobacteria were isolated from ponds and lakes in the Czech Republic, Austria and Italy. Morphological and genetic variation of 20 isolated strains within the genera Geitlerinema, Microcoleus and Phormidium were studied. Partial sequences of the 16S rRNA gene were used for phylogenetic analyses, and secondary structure of the 16S–23S ITS region was used to additionally de...

Posterior Fossa Extradural Haematomas: Operate or Conserve?

Background: Posterior fossa extradural haematomas (PFEDHs) are an uncommon entity, accounting for only 4 to 12.9% of all extradural haematomas encountered in clinical practice (EDHs). They have a characteristic clinical presentation, which if detected early, can be life saving. Most PFEDHs are operated owing to the imminent propensity of brainstem compression and death. However, a growing numbe...

Dmd052662 2066..2075

Allosteric modulation of G protein-coupled receptors has gained considerable attention in the drug discovery arena because it opens avenues to achieve greater selectivity over orthosteric ligands. We recently identified a series of positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGlu5) for the treatment of schizophrenia that exhibited robust heterotropic activation o...

A proposal to change the name of the NBPF/DUF1220 domain to the Olduvai domain

We are jointly proposing a new name for a protein domain of approximately 65 amino acids that has been previously termed NBPF or DUF1220. Our two labs independently reported the initial studies of this domain, which is encoded almost entirely within a single gene family. The name Neuroblastoma Breakpoint Family ( NBPF) was applied to this gene family when the first identified member of the fami...
