Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has undergone dramatic developments since its
inception by Locher in 1936 and the development of nuclear energy during World War II. The …

Agonist-stimulated phospholipid turnover can generate diacylglycerol (DAG), an intracellular
second messenger that activates protein kinase C (PKC). DAG can be produced from the …

Insects are known to exchange respiratory gases in their system of tracheal tubes by using
either diffusion or changes in internal pressure that are produced through body motion or …

Mutations that cause defects in levels of the signaling lipid phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate
[PI(3,5)P 2 ] lead to profound neurodegeneration in mice. Moreover, mutations in …

Studies of the physiology and biomechanics of small (∼1 cm) organisms are often limited by
the inability to see inside the animal during a behavior or process of interest and by a lack …

Background Despite advances in imaging techniques, real-time visualization of the structure
and dynamics of tissues and organs inside small living animals has remained elusive. …

Pro–brain-derived neurotrophic factor (proBDNF) and mature BDNF utilize distinct receptors
to mediate divergent neuronal actions. Using new tools to quantitate endogenous BDNF …

Experience-dependent plasticity shapes postnatal development of neural circuits, but the
mechanisms that refine dendritic arbors, remodel spines, and impair synaptic activity are poorly …

This text deals with the effect of processing on the microstructure and properties of
advanced structural and electroceramic materials. It fulfils the need for a well illustrated book …

A pair of rendered images and tbek Z-buffers contain almost all of the information necessary
tore-render from nearby viewpoints. For the small changes in viewpoint that occur in a …
