The seed stage is often critical in determining the regeneration success of plants. Seeds must survive an array of seed predators and pathogens and germinate under conditions favourable for seedling establishment. To maximise recruitment success plants protect seeds using a diverse set of chemical and physical defences. However, the relationship between these defence classes, and their associat...

Rh(III)-TsDPEN, an immobilized analog of the well-known [Cp*Rh(bpy)(H(2)O)](2+) was evaluated as a heterogeneous, recyclable regeneration catalyst for reduced oxidoreductase cofactors [NAD(P)H]. Repeated use of this catalyst was established and the catalytic properties were initially investigated. Apparently, Rh(III)-TsDPEN is prone to severe diffusion limitations, necessitating further develop...

The regeneration method of Khorana [J. Biol. Chem. 262 (1987) 9271] has been modified in order to study the effect of endogenous archaeabacterial lipids and, in particular, of glycocardiolipin (GlyC) in the refolding and chromophore regeneration of bacteriorhodopsin (BR). BR refolding and chromophore regeneration could be obtained in the presence of endogenous lipid mixtures containing or not c...

AIMS To investigate the role and the regulation of the long variant of myeloid cell leukemia-1 protein (Mcl-1L) during liver regeneration. BACKGROUND Liver regeneration is an important phenomenon after liver injury. The rat partial hepatectomy (PH) model was used to characterize liver regeneration and Mcl-1L expression after PH. METHODS Male Wistar rats were subjected to 70% PH. The express...

Hair cell regeneration following various mechanical or chemical insults to the inner ear has become the subject of intense scientific research. This article details current concepts relating to this topic, including descriptions of the hair cell precursor population, the ultrastructural properties of the newly regenerated hair cells, and regeneration of hair cells on the vestibular epithelium. ...

Bmp-Encoding Adenoviral Vector Tethered to Dental Implants Enhances Bone Regeneration In article number 2200531, Shogo Maekawa, Young-Dan Cho, William Giannobile, and co-workers demonstrate that immobilizing bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) genes onto the surfaces of dental implants by chemical vapor deposition technology enhances regeneration.
