The Montana Postural Care Project: A pilot study implementing posture care management in a rural, low-resource region

open access: yesHeliyon
Background: Mobility impairment limits control of posture and body alignment. This leads to altered body shapes, co-occurring problems with pain and sleep, cardiopulmonary concerns, digestive health issues, and emergent health outcomes, which further ...

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

Estimates of persistent inward current in human motor neurons during postural sway [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Persistent inward current (PIC) is a membrane property critical for increasing gain of motor neuron output. In humans, most estimates of PIC are made from plantarflexor or dorsiflexor motor units with the participant in a seated position with the knee ...
