Streptococcus mutans, the primary etiological agent of human dental caries and an obligate biofilm-forming bacterium, has developed a variety of mechanisms to colonize the tooth surface. Oral transmission of S. mutans through contact between mother and child is thought to be one of the risks of developing dental caries. In this study, I surveyed oral transmission frequency of S. mutans from mot...

Conventional wisdom is that: (1) mother’s schooling has widespread positive substantial effects on child education; (2) these effects tend to be much larger than those of father’s schooling; and (3) therefore, ceteris paribus, there is a stronger efficiency case (given education externalities) for subsidies for female than for male schooling. This paper first discusses a general framework for t...

Centrosomes have many important functions and comprise a 'mother' and 'daughter' centriole surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM). The mother centriole recruits and organises the PCM and templates the formation of the daughter centriole. It has been reported that several important Drosophila PCM-organising proteins are recruited to centrioles from the cytosol as part of large cytoplasmic '...

To explore the mechanisms underlying water regulation in clonal plants and its effects on carbon assimilation under water stress, we studied the responses of water status, gas exchange and abscisic acid (ABA) contents to water stress in leaves of pairs of strawberry ramets that consist of mother and daughter ramets. There was a greater decrease in photosynthetic rates (P(n)) and stomatal conduc...

INTRODUCTION Candida albicans has been detected together with Streptococcus mutans in high numbers in plaque-biofilm from children with early childhood caries (ECC). The goal of this study was to examine the C. albicans carriage in children with severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) and the maternal relatedness. METHODS Subjects in this pilot cross-sectional study were recruited based on a co...
