Ascites fluid from mice 'bearing the Sarcoma 180 ascites tumor enhances the rotation mediated aggregation of S-180 ascites tumor cells, Evidence presented suggests that the aggregation promoting component of the ascites fluid is not produced by the ho . . .

Macrocystis pyrifera (12) were subjected to a controlled shore wash-up treatment to determine which animals leave from and which remain within holdfasts detached from a rocky substrate. The procedure encompassed five phases: 1) separation from bottom . . .

Hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM) is a genetic neuromuscular disorder characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness. HIBM is caused by mutations in the GNE gene which encodes the bifunctional enzyme uridine diphosphospho-N-acetylglu . . .

Legionella pneumophila is a gram-negative bacterium that causes a severe pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease. L. pneumophila is engulfed by macrophages via phagocytosis, where it avoids being dismantled by the lysosomes through the establishment . . .

Seizures, trauma and many neurologic diseases induce damage to the hippocampus, which can result in deficits in spatial navigation, memory consolidation and depressive-type behaviors. Current drug treatments have limited effectiveness in improving sym . . .

Rates of evaporative water loss were obtained for two geographically and climatically isolated populations of Uta stansburiana hesperis Richardson under specified conditions of temperature, relative humidity and air flow. From these data, equations fo . . .

Previous studies of teratoma cells in batch culture demonstrated that glutamine synthetase (GS) specific activity was cell density dependent, increasing as the culture approached confluency. Other studies also showed that intercellular adhesion and GS . . .

Both stream-dwelling and pond-dwelling Hyla regilla home rapidly and accurately after displacement. The majority of returns occurred within 24 hours and the homing rates ranged from a minimum of 37 m/day (overland) for pond-dwelling frogs to a maximum . . .

Ocean acidification (OA), caused by the dissolution of anthropogenic CO2 into the surface waters of the ocean, threatens the fate of calcifying marine organisms. The effects of OA on adult coral calcification have been well-studied over the past decad . . .

Quantifying the effects of bacterial communities and temperature on coral-associated endosymbionts adds to our understanding of coral health. Genetic variation in endosymbionts may increase the fitness of the holobiont - coral and associated microbes . . .
