Computer Algorithms for Automated Detection and Analysis of Local Ca2+ Releases in Spontaneously Beating Cardiac Pacemaker Cells [PDF]
Local Ca Releases (LCRs) are crucial events involved in cardiac pacemaker cell function. However, specific algorithms for automatic LCR detection and analysis have not been developed in live, spontaneously beating pacemaker cells. Here we measured LCRs using a high-speed 2D-camera in spontaneously contracting sinoatrial (SA) node cells isolated from ...

The effects of diet on anatomy, physiology and health in the guinea pig [PDF]
Given the increasing popularity of the guinea pig as a pet, it is perhaps surprising that relatively little is published as to their husbandry and dietary requirements.

Kinetics of peroxidases in guinea pig bone marrow under immunostimulation [PDF]
Eosinophil peroxidase and myeloperoxidase play an important role in the host defense. Both enzymes are present in bone marrow, synthesized by blood progenitor cells. This research investigated the kinetic properties of peroxidases under immunostimulation

Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has become a well‐established method for dietary inference and reconstruction in both extant and extinct mammals and other tetrapods. As the volume of available data continues to grow, researchers could benefit from combining published data from various studies to perform meta‐analyses.

Comparative analysis of rodent lens morphometrics and biomechanical properties
IntroductionProper ocular lens function requires biomechanical flexibility, which is reduced during aging. As increasing lens size has been shown to correlate with lens biomechanical stiffness in aging, we tested the hypothesis that whole lens size ...

Black tea prevents cigarette smoke-induced apoptosis and lung damage
Background Cigarette smoking is a major cause of lung damage. One prominent deleterious effect of cigarette smoke is oxidative stress. Oxidative stress may lead to apoptosis and lung injury.

Living Labs - An Ethical Challenge for Researchers and Platform Providers [PDF]
The infamous Facebook emotion contagion experiment is one of the most prominent and best-known online experiments based on the concept of what we here call "living labs". In these kinds of experiments, real-world applications such as social web platforms trigger experimental switches inside their system to present experimental changes to their users ...

Cellular mechanisms of potassium homeostasis in the mammalian nervous system [PDF]
Double-barrelled ion-sensitive microelectrodes were used to measure changes in the intracellular activities of K+, Na+, and Cl- (aKi, aNai, aCli) in neurones of rat sympathetic ganglia and in glial cells of slices from guinea-pig olfactory cortex.

The PP2A‐B56 Binding Site LxxIxE Contributes to Asp‐Mediated Spindle Pole Stability
ABSTRACT The organization of microtubules into a mitotic spindle is critical for animal cell proliferation and involves the cooperation of hundreds of proteins whose molecular roles and regulation are not fully understood. The protein product of the Drosophila gene abnormal spindle, Asp, is a microtubule‐associated protein required for correct mitotic ...
