Is there more to folates than neural-tube defects?
The purpose of the present paper is to review our current understanding of the chemistry and biochemistry of folic acid and related folates, and to discuss their impact on public health beyond that already established in relation to neural-tube defects. Our understanding of the fascinating world of folates and C1 metabolism, and their role in health and disease, has come a long way since the di...
متن کاملThere is more to context than location
Context is a key issue in interaction between human and computer, describing the surrounding facts that add meaning. In mobile computing research published the parameter location is most often used to approximate context and to implement context-aware applications. We propose that ultra-mobile computing, characterized by devices that are operational and operated while on the move (e.g. PDAs, mo...
متن کاملThere Is More to Methodology than Method
There is much more to evaluation than collecting, analyzing, and interpreting scientific data in order to compare the outcomes of vious treatments. For the past 40 years, method-related discussions in the field of program evaluation have evolved to include models and reflections on the complex and multiple roles associated with the practice of evaluation. In fact, for Shadish, Cook, & Leviton, ...
متن کاملIs there more than one way to attract a pollen tube?
ZmEA1 (Zea mays egg apparatus 1) is expressed only in the egg and synergid cells. Embryo sacs with presumed reduced expression of ZmEA1 fail to attract pollen tubes. Together with data from Arabidopsis mutants and from elegant laser ablation experiments in Torenia fournieri, these results indicate that embryo sacs send signals to the incoming pollen tubes. We need to decipher how such signals a...
متن کاملD-chiro-inositol is more effective than myo-inositol in preventing folate-resistant mouse neural tube defects.
BACKGROUND Among mouse genetic mutants that develop neural tube defects (NTDs), some respond to folic acid administration during early pregnancy, whereas NTDs in other mutants are not prevented. This parallels human NTDs, in which up to 30% of cases may be resistant to folic acid. Most spina bifida cases in the folic acid-resistant 'curly tail' mouse can be prevented by treatment with inositol ...
