Mucus supramolecular topology: an elusive riddle.
The supramolecular conformation that keeps mucins interconnected in the mucus gel matrix is still uncertain. In the granule, a Ca-bonded matrix keeps mucus condensed. Upon exocytosis, Na/Ca exchange removes Ca bonds, triggering characteristic polymer gel phase transition and massive swelling (1). Failure to remove Ca by increased extracellular Ca inhibits mucus hydration (2). Transepithelial mo...
متن کاملPERSPECTIVE Chemical Mixtures: An Unsolvable Riddle?
It is difficult to overstate the complexity of assessing risks from chemical mixtures. For every valid reason to assess risks from mixtures, there appears an equally valid question as to whether it is possible to do so in a scientifically rigorous and relevant manner. Because so few data exist for mixtures, current mixture assessment methods must rely on untested assumptions and simplifications...
متن کاملPure riddle
A small set of extensions to the PureData architecture and to its external API is proposed, which will facilitate the creation of audio feature detectors (pitch followers, beat trackers, onset detectors, etc.) as Pd patches. An experimental implementation is discussed, and two application examples are demonstrated.

متن کاملThe Riddle of Uveitis*
INFLAMMATION of the uveal tract, which comprises the iris, ciliary body and choroid, is the cause in 8.3% of cases of blindness in the fourth decade of life and in 2.5% of all cases of blindness in Britain (Sorsby 1956). In other words, about 2,500 of the 100,000 registered blind people in this country were blinded by uveitis and its complications, and this was particularly so in young people i...
