Divergent roles of ent‐kaurene oxidase paralogs in rice momilactone biosynthesis
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Rice contains a five‐gene tandem array of genes encoding members of the ent‐kaurene oxidase (KO) family, with OsKOL4 and OsKOL5 playing divergent roles in momilactone metabolism, but both acting in the production of antifungal and antibacterial phytoalexins, which are important for disease resistance.

Invariant manifolds with boundary for jump-diffusions [PDF]
, 2014 We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for stochastic invariance of finite dimensional submanifolds with boundary in Hilbert spaces for stochastic partial differential equations driven by Wiener processes and Poisson random measures.Comment: 59 ...

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Assessment of the Role of C3(H2O) in the Alternative Pathway
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 In this study we investigate the hydrolysis of C3 to C3(H2O) and its ability to initiate activation via the alternative pathway (AP) of the complement system.

Antimicrobial peptides and complement in neonatal hypoxia-ischemia induced brain damage [PDF]
, 2015 Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a clinical condition in the neonate, resulting from oxygen deprivation around the time of birth. HIE affects 1-5/1000 live births worldwide and is associated with the development of neurological deficits ...

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...

Enzymatic Reactions and Detection of C3 Cleavage Fragments
Bio-Protocol, 2014 The complement component C3 is the major effector molecule of the complement system. C3 circulates in the blood and interstitial fluids as pro-enzyme and is activated by enzymatic cleavage into a C3a portion, a classic anaphylatoxin that functions as ...

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Based on the Punctuated Equilibrium Theory (PET) and implementation research, this study proposes an extended conceptualization of policy punctuation that enables researchers to systematically include policy implementation as part of a punctuation. The key mechanisms underlying the PET, i.e., policy image and venue, information processing, and
