Background
Bcl11b, previously CTIP2, is a zinc finger nuclear transcription factor involved in the development of keratinocytes, teeth, T lymphocytes, and nervous tissue. Expression of Bcl11b has been reported in human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and increased expression correlates with poorly differentiated tumors. This study aimed to...
This article presents a novel method combining ion irradiation, in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and microchemistry analysis before/after irradiation, which allows to examine same microstructural areas throughout ion irradiation. A 12 wt% Cr Ferritic/Martensitic steel (HT9) was irradiated in the TEM to 1.17 x 10(20) ions.m(-2) at 440 degrees C...

The primary objective of this study was to develop methods for
the selection of temperature sensitive division (TSD) mutants of
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Such methods were developed and four
temperature sensitive (TS) mutants were isolated and partially
characterized.
Wild type (WT) cells of the plus mating type were synchronized
by a...
Contemporary spiritual tourism impacts many stakeholders including environmental ecosystems, tourists, tourist operators, and community members. Increasingly, in the era of the Anthropocene, there is a need for ethical guidance to inform spiritual tourism so as to mitigate social injustice and environmental degradation. This research project investigates the potential for the...
