Abstract Background Allostery is one of the most powerful and common ways of regulation of protein activity.However, for most allosteric proteins identified to date the mechanistic details of allosteric modulation are not yet well understood.Uncovering common mechanistic patterns underlying allostery would allow not only a better academic understan
Feline Neural Progenitor Cells I: Long-Term Expansion under Defined Culture Conditions
Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) of feline origin (cNPCs) have demonstrated utility in transplantation experiments, yet are click here difficult to grow in culture beyond the 1 month time frame.Here we use an enriched, serum-free base medium (Ultraculture) and report the successful long-term propagation of these cells.Primary cultures were derived fr
Isolation and phylogenetic characterization of arboviruses circulating among phlebotomine sandflies in parts of North Rift, Kenya
BackgroundUntil recently, arbovirus surveillance is mainly focused on mosquito and tick vectors, resulting in the discovery of several mosquito- and tick-borne arboviruses.However, the role of sandflies in arbovirus transmission and disease has remained largely unexplored.This study sought to isolate and characterize arboviruses from phlebotomine s
Middle-Late Triassic regional-scale magmatic-hydrothermal metallogenic system in the eastern segment of the East Kunlun
A large-scale mineralization occurred in the East Kunlun during the Early Mesozoic, forming a series of lode gold, quartz vein-type Ag-Pb-Zn, porphyry Cu-Mo, and skarn Fe polymetallic deposits.However, the genetic link between these deposits is still unclear.The eastern segment of the East Kunlun has diverse types of deposits which provides an exce
Improving and re-developing the Clerical Resolution Online Widget (CROW): open-source software for clerical review
Objectives Clerical review is an integral part of linkage and is fundamental to quality assurance.CROW is a low dependency, adaptable, clerical matching tool that has been deployed across 40 linkage projects.Due to limitations of the interface, with the initial version (including the limited ability to view large clusters); this project sought to r
