Research supported by this grant entitled “Passive Sensor Materials Based on Liquid Crystals” revolved around an investigation of liquid crystalline materials for use in passive sensors for chemical agents, including sulfur and phosphorus-containing compounds. The research was founded on the discovery in the Abbott research group at University of Wisconsin that competitive molecular interaction...

•FRET sensors in Sla2 report the actin-generated forces required for endocytosis•At least 8 pN force is transmitted by Sla2-Ent1 membrane-actin protein linker•Large amount of needed initial membrane bending and early invagination•Lowering cell turgor or tension reduces over linker Mechanical are integral to many cellular processes, including clathrin-mediated endocytosis, a principal traffickin...

Five sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] cultivars (‘Beauregard’, ‘Excel’, ‘Jewel’, ‘Hernandez’, and ‘Porto Rico’) were evaluated for resistance to three root-knot nematode species: Meloidogyne arenaria (Neal) Chitwood (race 2), M. incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood (race 3), and M. javanica (Treub) Chitwood. Resistance screening efficiency was assessed in both 400-cm3 square pots and 150-...

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a membrane-anchored tyrosine kinase that able to selectively respond multiple extracellular stimuli. Previous studies have indicated the modularity of this system may be caused by ligand-induced differences in stability dimer. However, hypothesis has not been explored using single-mutant ligands thus far. Herein, we developed new approach identify ...

With nature-based offsets emerging as a core strategy for meeting near-term climate targets, it is essential they deliver real and verifiable mitigation gains. However, the interventions that generate can have unintended effects cause carbon leakage ultimately reduce mitigation. Although "old news" various anti-leakage measures been considered, there little evidence current practices to address...

Purpose: In vivo studies have focused on the latter stages of the bone metastatic process(osteolysis), whereas little is known about earlier events, e.g., arrival, localization, and initialcolonization. Defining these initial steps may potentially identify the critical points susceptible totherapeutic intervention.Experimental Design: MDA-MB-435 human breast cancer cells enginee...
