Evolutionary radiation of large‐bodied gorgonopsians from the lower Abrahamskraal formation of South Africa

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The middle Permian represents a critical interval in therapsid evolution, when gorgonopsians emerged as some of the first specialized apex predators within terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their significance, the early diversification of Gorgonopsia in Gondwana remains poorly understood due to scarcity and fragmentary material.

Plasma lyso-phosphatidylcholine concentration is decreased in cancer patients with weight loss and activated inflammatory status

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2007
Background It has been observed that ras-transformed cell lines in culture have a higher phosphatidylcholine (PC) biosynthesis rate as well as higher PC-degradation rate (increased PC-turnover) than normal cells.

Deciphering the catalytic and pharmacological mechanisms of Coptis chinensis herbzymes to renovate intestinal microenvironment for colitis alleviation

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The synthesized CCzymes possess both antioxidant enzyme activity and pharmacological properties inherent to Coptis chinensis. By their antioxidant enzyme activity, CCzymes can attenuate oxidative stress within the inflammatory region of ulcerative colitis (UC), while their pharmacological activity acts on macrophage polarization and the intestinal ...

Efficacy of measuring lysophosphatidylcholine levels in human cerebrospinal fluid to differentiate myelopathy from cauda equina syndrome

Scientific Reports
Spinal stenosis frequently involves multiple regions, particularly the cervical and lumbar spine. Therefore, it is essential to identify biomarkers that can distinguish between central and peripheral neuropathy. Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), a biomarker

Hypoxia increases mouse satellite cell clone proliferation maintaining both in vitro and in vivo heterogeneity and myogenic potential. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Satellite cells (SCs) are essential for postnatal muscle growth and regeneration, however, their expansion potential in vitro is limited. Recently, hypoxia has been used to enhance proliferative abilities in vitro of various primary cultures.

Voice morphing using the generative topographic mapping [PDF]

, 2003
In this paper we address the problem of Voice Morphing. We attempt to transform the spectral characteristics of a source speaker's speech signal so that the listener would believe that the speech was uttered by a target speaker. The voice morphing system

Unraveling Synergistic Regulation Mechanism in Nitrogen/Sulfur Co‐Doped Biomass‐Derived Hard Carbon Toward Durable Sodium‐Ion Battery Anodes

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Nitrogen/sulfur co‐doping optimizes the electron and spatial structure of biomass‐derived hard carbon, and the anode demonstrates superior long‐term cycling stability over 2000 cycles, validating an improved “adsorption‐intercalation‐pore filling” mechanism.

GRID Architecture through a Public Cluster

, 2008
An architecture to enable some blocks consisting of several nodes in a public cluster connected to different grid collaborations is introduced. It is realized by inserting a web-service in addition to the standard Globus Toolkit.

The dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker benidipine prevents lysophosphatidylcholine-induced endothelial dysfunction in rat aorta

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2009
Background Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), an atherogenic component of oxidized low-density lipoprotein, has been shown to induce the attenuation of endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation. Although benidipine, a dihydropyridine-calcium channel blocker,
