Dietary-derived vitamin B12 protects Caenorhabditis elegans from thiol-reducing agents

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2022
Background One-carbon metabolism, which includes the folate and methionine cycles, involves the transfer of methyl groups which are then utilised as a part of multiple physiological processes including redox defence.

Special issue: Ribosome-inactivating proteins : commemorative issue in honor of Professor Fiorenzo Stirpe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The family of ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) groups all enzymes (EC.3.2.2.22) with a so-called RIP domain which comprises N-glycosidase activity and enables these proteins to catalytically inactivate ribosomes.[...

Linear-Size Approximations to the Vietoris-Rips Filtration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Vietoris-Rips filtration is a versatile tool in topological data analysis. It is a sequence of simplicial complexes built on a metric space to add topological structure to an otherwise disconnected set of points.

Kirkiin: A New Toxic Type 2 Ribosome-Inactivating Protein from the Caudex of Adenia kirkii

open access: yesToxins, 2021
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are plant toxins that irreversibly damage ribosomes and other substrates, thus causing cell death. RIPs are classified in type 1 RIPs, single-chain enzymatic proteins, and type 2 RIPs, consisting of active A chains ...

Polynomial-Sized Topological Approximations Using The Permutahedron [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Classical methods to model topological properties of point clouds, such as the Vietoris-Rips complex, suffer from the combinatorial explosion of complex sizes.

Genetic Diversity and Population Structures in Chinese Miniature Pigs Revealed by SINE Retrotransposon Insertion Polymorphisms, a New Type of Genetic Markers

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
RIPs have been developed as effective genetic markers and popularly applied for genetic analysis in plants, but few reports are available for domestic animals.

Membrane fusion mediated by ricin and viscumin [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The ribosome inactivating plant proteins (RIPs) ricin and viscumin but not Ricinus communis agglutinin are able induce vesicle–vesicle fusion. A model is suggested in which the toxicity of the RIPs is partially determined by their fusogenicity.

Methods women use for induced abortion and sources of services: insights from poor urban settlements of Accra, Ghana

open access: yesBMC Women's Health, 2021
Background Increasing access to safe abortion methods is crucial for improving women’s health. Understanding patterns of service use is important for identifying areas for improvement. Limited evidence is available in Ghana on factors associated with the

SimBa: An Efficient Tool for Approximating Rips-Filtration Persistence via Simplicial Batch-Collapse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In topological data analysis, a point cloud data P extracted from a metric space is often analyzed by computing the persistence diagram or barcodes of a sequence of Rips complexes built on P indexed by a scale parameter.

Argumentative Thinking: An Introduction to the Special Issue on Psychology and Argumentation

open access: yesInformal Logic, 2009
This special issue of Informal Logic brings together a num-ber of traditions from the psychology and philosophy of argument. Psycho-logists’ interest in argument typically arises in understanding how indivi-duals form and change their beliefs.
