Space flight results in loss of mass and function in skeletal
muscle. Data from manned flights and animal biosatellites give
evidence of possible changes in neuromuscular interactions.
Components at the neuromuscular junction are a potential site of
action for this space-induced muscle atrophy. We examined the
nicotinic acetylcholine receptor population...
Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, causal agent of tan spot of wheat, produces multiple
host-selective toxins (HSTs), including Ptr ToxA, encoded for by ToxA, Ptr ToxB,
encoded for by ToxB, and Ptr ToxC. Variable distribution of these three HSTs among
different isolates of P. tritici-repentis, both singularly and in all possible combinations,
defines...
Natural products have long been an important source of resources for humans. Many of these compounds possess unique chemical structures and potent biological properties. By targeting natural products with specific chemical properties, we can gain a better understanding of the roles these compounds play in the environment and their interactions...
Family therapists have proposed that specific types of
family interactions are dysfunctional for the family system
and can produce long-term negative effects for the child.
They further propose that, for healthy family functioning to
be maintained, parental alliances must be sustained and
excessive cross-generational coalitions (parent-child
alliances) must be blocked....
An Expert Panel convened by the National Lipid Association previously developed a consensus set of recommendations for the patient-centered management of dyslipidemia in clinical medicine (part 1). These were guided by the principle that reducing elevated levels of atherogenic cholesterol (non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) reduces the risk...

Ecological restoration programs often attempt to maintain or enhance ecosystem services (ES), but fine-scale
maps of multiple ES are rarely available to support prioritization among potential projects. Here we use agency
reports, citizen science, and social media as data sources to quantify the spatial distribution of five recreational
elements of...

Recent mandates in the United States require federal agencies to incorporate climate change science into land management planning efforts. These mandates target possible adaptation and mitigation strategies. However, the degree to which climate change is actively being considered in agency planning and management decisions is largely unknown. We explored the...
