Beckerle, Mary C. | LIM proteins in actin cytoskeleton mechanoresponse | The actin cytoskeleton assembles into branched networks or bundles to generate mechanical force for critical cellular processes such as establishment of polarity, adhesion, and migration. Stress fibers are contractile, actomyosin structures that physically couple to the extracellular matrix through ... | | 2014-01-01 |

Olivera, Baldomero M. | Combined proteomic and transcriptomic interrogation of the venom gland of conus geographus uncovers novel components and functional compartmentalization | Cone snails are highly successful marine predators that use complex venoms to capture prey. At any given time, hundreds of toxins (conotoxins) are synthesized in the secretory epithelial cells of the venom gland, a long and convoluted organ that can measure 4 times the length of the snail's body. In... | | 2014-01-01 |

Potts, Wayne K. | MHC signaling during social communication | The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has been known to play a critical role in immune recognition since the 1950s. It was a surprise, then, in the 1970s when the first report appeared indicating MHC might also function in social signaling. Since this seminal discovery, MHC signaling has been f... | | 2012-01-01 |

Mattis, Daniel C. | Theory of glass dynamics: the low-lying modes of anharmonic materials | We study the lowest-lying excited states of arbitrary anharmonic solids (crystalline, glassy, or amorphous). Defining the harmonic ("skeleton") lattice underlying any such anharmonic medium, we find that its spectrum of elementary excitations provides a rigorous upper bound to that of the anharmonic... | Spectrum; Arbitrary; Lattices | 1987 |

Potts, Wayne K. | Consequences of self and foreign superantigen interaction with specific VB elements of the murine TCR aB | The aB T-cell receptor (TCRaB) recognizes a ligand composed of an antigen fragment complexed with a product of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The repertoire of receptors is limited both by the germ line of receptor variable elements and by selective events that take place during T-cell ... | Toxins; Repertoire; Expression | 1989 |

Goller, Franz | Nonlinear model predicts diverse respiratory patterns of birdsong | A central aspect of the motor control of birdsong production is the capacity to generate diverse respiratory rhythms, which determine the coarse temporal pattern of song. The neural mechanisms that underlie this diversity of respiratory gestures and the resulting acoustic syllables are largely unkn... | Sound; Syllables; Song | 2006 |

Gondolo, Paolo | Wanted! Nuclear data for dark matter astrophysics | Astronomical observations from small galaxies to the largest scales in the universe can be consistently explained by the simple idea of dark matter. The nature of dark matter is however still unknown. Empirically it cannot be any of the known particles, and many theories postulate it as a new elemen... | | 2014-01-01 |

Adler, Frederick R. | Recent rapid increases in the right whale (Eubalaena australis) population off southern Brazil | Right whales (Eubalaena australis) that gather on a wintering ground off southern Brazil have been aerial surveyed and photographically identified since 1987. As of 2003 the Brazilian Right Whale Catalogue has 315 different individual whales of which 31 were resighted in other years (23 females, 3 y... | | 2005 |
