Introduction to the cyanobacteria
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2012 , Article)
Summary: Features of cyanobacteria are introduced for non-specialists by highlighting topics in the various chapters. Aspects where much more is known now than a decade ago are pointed out, such as the importance of ...
Cyclic AMP-Rap1A signaling activates RhoA to induce α2c-adrenoceptor translocation to the cell surface of microvascular smooth muscle cells
(
American Physiological Society
, 2012 , Article)
Intracellular signaling by the second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) activates the Ras-related small GTPase Rap1 through the guanine exchange factor Epac. This activation leads to effector protein interactions, activation, ...
CAMP induces adhesion of microvascular smooth muscle cells to fibronectin via an epac-mediated but PKA-independent mechanism
(
Cell Physiol Biochem Press
, 2012 , Article)
Background/Aims: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play important roles, both in physiologic and pathophysiologic processes. Adhesion of these cells is critical for their proper functioning, especially in resistance-sized ...
Standing stocks and body size of deep-sea macrofauna: Predicting the baseline of 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the northern Gulf of Mexico
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article)
A composite database encompassing 6 benthic surveys from years 1983 to 2003 was constructed to evaluate the distribution of macrofaunal biomass in the deep Gulf of Mexico (GoM) prior to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. ...
Histopathological effects and determination of the putative receptor of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Da toxin in Spodoptera littoralis midgut
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. aizawai strain HD133, known by its effectiveness against Spodoptera species, produces many insecticidal proteins including Cry1Ab, Cry1Ca and Cry1Da. In the present study, the insecticidal ...
Extracellular matrix (ECM)
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2012 , Book chapter)
Summary: The region of space at the periphery of cyanobacterial cells is the interface between the environment and intracellular processes. This metaspace may include a structure appressed to the outer wall and membrane, ...
Isolation of entomopathogenic Bacillus from a biodynamic olive farm and their pathogenicity to lepidopteran and coleopteran insect pests
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2012 , Article)
The occurrence of Bacillus entomopathogenic bacteria on a Tunisian biodynamic farm was determined by examining 75 samples from olive tree (Olea europaea L.) habitats. A total of 40 Bacillus isolates were characterized ...
