Fabrication of Microbolometer Arrays Based on Polymorphous Silicon–Germanium
Sensors, 2020 This work reports the development of arrays of infrared sensors (microbolometers) using a hydrogenated polymorphous silicon–germanium alloy (pm-SixGe1-x:H). Basically, polymorphous semiconductors consist of an amorphous semiconductor matrix with embedded

Modulation of the chaperone DnaK allosterism by the nucleotide exchange factor GrpE [PDF]
, 2015 10 p.-6 fig.Hsp70 chaperones comprise two domains, the nucleotide-binding domain (Hsp70NBD), responsible for structural and functional changes in the chaperone, and the substrate-binding domain (Hsp70SBD), involved in substrate interaction.

Seasonality of the red blood cell stress response in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) [PDF]
, 2004 The β-adrenergic stress response in red blood cells (RBCs) of rainbow trout shows seasonal changes in expression. We have explored the mechanisms underpinning this response by following over a period of 27 months changes in β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR ...

How Deep Is Deep enough for RNA-Seq Profiling of Bacterial Transcriptomes? [PDF]
, 2012 Background: High-throughput sequencing of cDNA libraries (RNA-Seq) has proven to be a highly effective approach for studying bacterial transcriptomes. A central challenge in designing RNA-Seq-based experiments is estimating a priori the number of reads ...

Identification of Novel Thermosensors in Gram-Positive Pathogens
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2020 Temperature is a crucial variable that every living organism, from bacteria to humans, need to sense and respond to in order to adapt and survive. In particular, pathogenic bacteria exploit host-temperature sensing as a cue for triggering virulence gene ...

Functional assessment of temperature-gated ion-channel activity using a real-time PCR machine
BioTechniques, 2009 The functional activity of a number of ion channels is highly sensitive to large changes in temperature. Foremost among these are the thermosensing TRP channels which include cold- (TRPM8, TRPA1), warmth- (TRPV3, TRPV4), and heat-sensing (TRPV1, TRPV2 ...

OXYGEN GRADIENTS CAUSE PATTERN ORIENTATION IN DICTYOSTELIUM CELL CLUMPS [PDF]
, 1981 We have investigated the formation of the prestalk-prespore pattern in Dictyottelium discoideum. Pattern formation occurs in clumps of Dictyostelium cells embedded in agar under a 100% oxygen atmosphere.
