  • Ren, Yin; Hauert, Sabine; Lo, Justin H.; Bhatia, Sangeeta N. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2012-08)
    Tumor-targeted delivery of siRNA remains a major barrier in fully realizing the therapeutic potential of RNA interference. While cell-penetrating peptides (CPP) are promising siRNA carrier candidates, they are universal ...
  • Bajari, Patrick; Hong, Han; Ryan, Stephen (Econometric Society / Wiley, 2010-09)
    We discuss the identification and estimation of discrete games of complete information. Following Bresnahan and Reiss (1990, 1991), a discrete game is a generalization of a standard discrete choice model where utility ...
  • Imbens, Guido W.; Newey, Whitney K. (Econometric Society, 2009-10)
    This paper uses control variables to identify and estimate models with nonseparable, multidimensional disturbances. Triangular simultaneous equations models are considered, with instruments and disturbances that are ...

(Public Library of Science, 2011-04)
    The Plasmodium falciparum parasite's ability to adapt to environmental pressures, such as the human immune system and antimalarial drugs, makes malaria an enduring burden to public health. Understanding the genetic basis ...
  • Klein, Michael G.; Zwart, Peter; Bagby, Sarah C.; Cai, Fei; Chisholm, Sallie (Penny); Heinhorst, Sabine; Cannon, Gordon C.; Kerfeld, Cheryl A. (Elsevier, 2009-09)
    Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are polyhedral bodies, composed entirely of proteins, that function as organelles in bacteria; they promote subcellular processes by encapsulating and co-localizing targeted enzymes with ...
  • Welander, Paula V.; Coleman, Maureen L.; Sessions, Alex L.; Summons, Roger Everett; Newman, Dianne K. (National Academy of Sciences, 2010-04)
    The rise of atmospheric oxygen has driven environmental change and biological evolution throughout much of Earth’s history and was enabled by the evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis in the cyanobacteria. Dating this ...

H.; van Kerkwijk, Marten H. (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2011-01)
    We present X-ray, infrared, optical, and radio observations of four previously unidentified Galactic plane X-ray sources: AX J163252-4746, AX J184738-0156, AX J144701-5919, and AX J144547-5931. Detection of each source ...
  • Chen, Nancy; Bellott, Daniel W.; Page, David C; Clark, Andrew G (BioMed Central Ltd, 2012-05)
    Background: The female-specific W chromosomes and male-specific Y chromosomes have proven difficult to assemble with whole-genome shotgun methods, creating a demand for new approaches to identify sequence contigs specific ...
  • Reinke, Aaron Wade; Grigoryan, Gevorg; Keating, Amy E. (American Chemical Society, 2010-03)
    Basic-region leucine-zipper transcription factors (bZIPs) contain a segment rich in basic amino acids that can bind DNA, followed by a leucine zipper that can interact with other leucine zippers to form coiled-coil homo- ...
  • Vaysse, Amaury; Ratnakumar, Abhirami; Derrien, Thomas; Axelsson, Erik; Pielberg, Gerli Rosengren; Fall, Tove; Seppälä, Eija H.; Hansen, Mark S. T.; Lawley, Cindy T.; Bannasch, Danika; Vilà, Carles; Lohi, Hannes; Galibert, Francis; Fredholm, Merete; Häggström, Jens; Hedhammar, Åke; André, Catherine; Hitte, Christophe; Webster, Matthew T.; Sigurdsson, Snaevar; Karlsson, Elinor K.; Lindblad-Toh, Kerstin (Public Library of Science, 2011-10)
    The extraordinary phenotypic diversity of dog breeds has been sculpted by a unique population history accompanied by selection for novel and desirable traits. Here we perform a comprehensive analysis using multiple test ...
  • Guimaraes, Carla P.; Carette, Jan E.; Varadarajan, Malini; Antos, John; Popp, Maximilian W.; Spooner, Eric; Brummelkamp, Thijn R.; Ploegh, Hidde (Rockefeller University Press, 2011-10)
    We describe a novel labeling strategy to site-specifically attach fluorophores, biotin, and proteins to the C terminus of the A1 subunit (CTA1) of cholera toxin (CTx) in an otherwise correctly assembled and active CTx ...
  • McCombie, D. B.; Asada, Harry; Reisner, Andrew T.; Hahn, Jin-Oh; Hojman, H. M. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009-12)
    This paper presents a novel method to identify the cardiovascular (CV) system using two distinct peripheral blood pressure (BP) signals. The method can characterize the distinct arterial path dynamics that shape each of ...
  • Rosasco, Lorenzo Andrea; Fardin, Paolo; Cornero, Andrea; Barla, Annalisa; Mosci, Sofia; Acquaviva, Massimo; Gambini, Claudio; Verri, Alessandro; Varesio, Luigi (Hindawi, 2010-04)
    Hypoxia is a condition of low oxygen tension occurring in the tumor and negatively correlated with the progression of the disease. We studied the gene expression profiles of nine neuroblastoma cell lines grown under hypoxic ...
  • Svensson, J. Peter; Fry, Rebecca C.; Wang, Emma; Somoza, Luis A.; Samson, Leona D. (Public Library of Science, 2012-05)
