Genetic variation in eggshell crystal size and orientation is large and these traits are correlated with shell thickness and are associated with eggshell matrix protein markers [PDF]
The size and orientation of calcium carbonate crystals influence the structure and strength of the eggshells of chickens. In this study, estimates of heritability were found to be high (0.6) for crystal size and moderate (0.3) for crystal orientation ...

Release of Brain Mitochondrial Hexokinase by Acidic Proteins and Macromolecular Polyanions [PDF]
Preparations of arachidonic acid binding and non-binding proteins from bovine brain, four acidic proteins (alpha-casein, phosvitin, beta-lactoglobulin A and B), the peptide polyglutamate, and two polyanions (heparin, dextran sulfate) enhanced both basal and glucose 6-phosphate induced solubilization of rat brain mitochondrial hexokinase (ATP:D-hexose 6-

Expanded flow rate range of high-resolution nanoDMAs via improved sample flow injection at the aerosol inlet slit [PDF]
High-resolution DMAs requiring hundreds of liters per minute of sheath gas flow Q to classify 1 nm particles have not been previously examined and optimized under the modest Q values (tens of liters per minute) needed to classify particles well above 10 nm.

Caffeic Acid-PLGA Conjugate to Design Protein Drug Delivery Systems Stable to Irradiation
This work reports the feasibility of caffeic acid grafted PLGA (g-CA-PLGA) to design biodegradable sterile microspheres for the delivery of proteins. Ovalbumin (OVA) was selected as model compound because of its sensitiveness of γ-radiation. The adopted

Mycobacterium tuberculosis–Specific Antigen Rv3619c Effectively Alleviates Allergic Asthma in Mice
Despite significant advances, asthma remains a cause of premature death, and current treatments are suboptimal. Antigen-specific Th2 cells and their cytokines are primary mediators of the pathophysiological changes seen in asthma.
