TRANSGENERATIONAL TRANSMISSION OF RADIATION-INDUCED EXPRESSION PATTERNS OF ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA (L.) HEYNH. RAD51 AND RAD1 GENES

Transgenerational Transmission of Radiation-Induced Expression Patterns of Arabidopsis Thaliana (L.) Heynh. Rad51 and Rad1 Genes

Transcription rates of the genes AtKu70, AtRAD51, AtRad1, involved in maintaining Arabidopsis thaliana genome stability, in relation to the modification of phenotypic characteristics in irradiated plants and their progeny after the action of acute and fractionated X-ray radiation were studied.Differences in the transcription rate were measured by d

Sphingomyelin encrypts tissue factor: ATP-induced activation of A-SMase leads to tissue factor decryption and microvesicle shedding

Abstract: A majority of tissue factor (TF) on cell surfaces exists in an encrypted state with minimal to no procoagulant activity.At present, it is unclear whether limited availability of phosphatidylserine (PS) and/or a specific membrane lipid in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane contributes to TF encryption.Sphingomyelin (SM) is a major ph

Increasing the Stability of Isolated and Dense High-Aspect-Ratio Nanopillars Fabricated Using UV-Nanoimprint Lithography

Structural anti-reflective coating and bactericidal surfaces, as well as many other effects, rely on high-aspect-ratio (HAR) micro- and nanostructures, and thus, are of great interest for a wide range of applications.To date, there is no widespread fabrication of dense or isolated HAR nanopillars based on UV nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL).In addi
