Glycoprotein B (gB), gD, and gH/gL constitute the fusion machinery of herpes simplex virus (HSV). Prior studies indicated that fusion occurs in a stepwise fashion whereby the gD/receptor complex activates the entire process, while gH/gL regulates the fusion reaction carried out by gB. Trimeric gB is a class III fusion protein. Its ectodomain of 773 amino acids contains a membrane-proximal regio...

Dynamic mobile Wireless Network is one important infrastructure for special environment or special applications. High delay and low delivery ratio are its major challenges because of the absence of a complete end-to-end path between source nodes to destination nodes. Although some protocols have been proposed, they usually ignore the action diversity, communication time and duration. In this pa...

It is well established that dynamin is involved in clathrin-dependent endocytosis, but relatively little is known about possible intracellular functions of this GTPase. Using confocal imaging, we found that endogenous dynamin was associated with the plasma membrane, the trans-Golgi network, and a perinuclear cluster of cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR)-containing structur...

Coronoid Hyperplasia (CH) is a non-neoplastic and relatively rare enlargement of the coronoid process that may limit mandibular movement as a consequence of the close association between the hyperplastic coronoid process and the anterior region of the zygomatic bone. Computed tomography (CT) is extremely useful for the observation of this association and plays an important role in diagnosing an...

Intuitive control based on myoelectric pattern recognition (MPR) can be used in clinical applications such as prosthetic limbs and Phantom Limb Pain treatment. Electromyography (EMG) patterns representing limb movements are learned by a pattern recognition algorithm to enable classification of future EMG observations. These EMG patterns are commonly constituted by descriptive features extracted...
