Visualization of infection and the associated host response has been challenging in adult vertebrates. Owing to their transparency, zebrafish larvae have been used to directly observe infection in vivo; however, such larvae have not yet developed a functional adaptive immune system. Cells involved in adaptive immunity mature later and have therefore been difficult to access optically in intact ...

Sulfotransferase (SULT) function has been well studied in healthy human subjects by quantifying mRNA and protein expression and determining enzyme activity with probe substrates. However, it is not well known if sulfotransferase activity changes in metabolic and liver disease, such as diabetes, steatosis, or cirrhosis. Sulfotransferases have significant roles in the regulation of hormones and e...

Regulation of lumen growth is crucial to ensure the correctmorphology, dimensions and function of a tubular structure. How this is controlled is still poorly understood. During Ciona intestinalis notochord tubulogenesis, single extracellular lumen pockets grow between pairs of cells and eventually fuse into a continuous tube. Here, we show that lumen growth exhibits a lag phase, during which th...

To modify the luminescence properties of Ce3+-doped Y₃Al₅O12 (YAG) phosphors, they have been coated with a carbon layer by chemical vapor deposition and subsequently heat-treated at high temperature under N₂ atmosphere. Luminescence of the carbon coated YAG:Ce3+ phosphors has been investigated as a function of heat-treatment at 1500 and 1650 °C. The 540 nm emission intensity of C@YAG:Ce3+ is th...

The translation of professional medical knowledge into language the public can comprehend and employ for home treatment and health maintenance has long been an important activity in Western medical culture. Since the Enlightenment particularly, instruction in matters medical has seemed a crucial element in equipping men and women to control their destiny. Historical examination of the process o...

757 This paper is based on a keynote address presented at a conference on Neural Systems of Social Behavior held at the University of Texas, Austin, in May 2007. I thank Jennifer Beer for the invitation to present the keynote, the members of the Institute for Personality and Social Research for comments beforehand, Jeff Sherman for the opportunity to prepare the talk for publication, and John C...
