CRP 3.5 is a comprehensive proposal built around combined research on eight grain legumes (GLs) – groundnut, soybean, chickpea, cowpea, common bean, pigeon pea, lentil, and faba bean – proposed by four CGIAR Centres (ICARDA, ICRISAT, IITA and CIAT) and by several NARES (India, Brazil, Turkey and Ethiopia). These crops are important dietary staples and sources of income for farmers in many, low ...

Suture application varies for different tissues, different patients, and different circumstances. The large array of new sutures, staples, tapes, and topical adhesives can make the proper choice for closure a challenge. This review of the available materials for skin closure, and their biomechanical properties, advantages, and disadvantages, creates a structure for better understanding of the l...

Suturing has been used as a method of primary wound closure for centuries. Despite the introduction of other methods of wound closure such as staples, tissue glue, and adhesive skin-closure strips, it has remained a popular and effective choice. This article looks at the principles of suturing minor skin lesions in adults, wound assessment and choosing a method of closure, basic suturing techni...

State-of-the-art 1990's imaging technology was harnessed to visualize a diseased organ. Special instruments were conceived to manipulate these organs. Laparoscopic sutures and loops were refined along with clip appliers, staples, tackers and gastrointestinal staplers. Perhaps the most important of these developments was the laparoscopic clip applier, for this humble instrument gave inexperience...

We present a modelling framework, and basic model parameterization, for the study of DNA origami folding at the level of DNA domains. Our approach is explicitly kinetic and does not assume a specific folding pathway. The binding of each staple is associated with a free-energy change that depends on staple sequence, the possibility of coaxial stacking with neighbouring domains, and the entropic ...

Atomistic simulations of a set of stapled alpha helical peptides derived from the BH3 helix of MCL-1 (Stewart et al. (2010) Nat Chem Biol 6: 595-601) complexed to a fragment (residues 172-320) of MCL-1 revealed that the highest affinity is achieved when the staples engage the surface of MCL-1 as has also been demonstrated for p53-MDM2 (Joseph et al. (2010) Cell Cycle 9: 4560-4568; Baek et al. (...
