Masculinity, Prostitution, and the Imaginary Northwest in Chinese Travel Writings About Shanxi and Western Inner Mongolia, 1920–1949

open access: yesGender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article considers travel writings by metropolitan men in Republican China about Shanxi and western Inner Mongolia as a case study to further explore the transformations and continuities of Chinese masculinities. Drawing upon a range of popular travel narratives, it shows that so‐called “Worn‐Out Shoes (poxie)” – women perceived as ...

Identification of Heteroreceptors Complexes and Signal Transduction Events Using Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer (BRET)

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2019
Detecting protein-protein interactions by co-immunoprecipitation provided a major advancement in the immunology research field. In the G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) research field, colocalization and co-immunoprecipitation were used to detect ...

Rural land rental markets in developing countries: Can survey design innovations improve land market participation statistics?

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract A longstanding puzzle in the African land rental market literature is the often‐observed discrepancy between the number of tenants (renters‐in) and the much smaller number of landlords (renters‐out) in survey data. If this discrepancy derives from systematic biases in survey data responses on rental market participation, then the existing body

Compartmentalisation in cAMP signalling: A phase separation perspective

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cells rely on precise spatiotemporal control of signalling pathways to ensure functional specificity. The compartmentalisation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and protein kinase A (PKA) signalling enables distinct cellular responses within a crowded cytoplasmic space.

Activation of peripheral NOP receptors reduces periorbital mechanical allodynia evoked by CGRP in mice

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Migraine is a neurovascular disorder largely mediated by calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP). This study explores the role of the nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ)–N/OFQ receptor (NOP) system in CGRP‐induced periorbital mechanical allodynia (PMA) in mice.

BRET-Based Self-Cleaving Biosensors for SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro Inhibitor Discovery

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
The virus proteases 3CLpro are validated drug targets for developing antivirals to treat coronavirus diseases, such as COVID-19. However, the development of 3CLpro inhibitors relies heavily on BSL-3 laboratories. ABSTRACT The 3C-like protease (3CLpro) of

Construction of an Enzymatically-Conjugated DNA Aptamer–Protein Hybrid Molecule for Use as a BRET-Based Biosensor

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
DNA-protein conjugates are useful molecules for construction of biosensors. Herein, we report the development of an enzymatically-conjugated DNA aptamer–protein hybrid molecule for use as a bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET)-based biosensor.
