Summary: Mitochondrial dysfunction causes muscle wasting in many diseases and probably also during aging.The underlying mechanism is poorly understood.We generated transgenic mice with unbalanced mitochondrial protein loading and import, Baby Mobiles by moderately overexpressing the nuclear-encoded adenine nucleotide translocase, Ant1.We found that
Supporting strong families and capable communities through cross-national research
# Background Mental and behavioral ill-health are growing global problems and while there are promising evidence-based approaches aimed at reducing their impact, availability of services varies greatly, not only across nations, but also between urban, regional, and remote locations.Rural areas face accessibility and acceptability challenges related
DNA Barcoding of Stingless Bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) in Northern Peruvian Forests: A Plea for Integrative Taxonomy
Stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) are among the most important pollinators of tropical forests.Peru is considered a hotspot of biodiversity of Meliponini, but many areas of this country (e.g., Peruvian Amazon) remain unexplored.We aimed to produce a first inventory of Fireplace Tools stingless bee species dwelling in humid and seasonally dry
Receptivity of Boundary Layer over a Blunt Wedge due to Freestream Pulse Disturbances at Mach 6
Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a hypersonic compressible flow over a blunt wedge with fast acoustic disturbances in Gel Soaps freestream is performed.The receptivity characteristics of boundary layer to freestream pulse acoustic disturbances are numerically investigated at Mach 6, and the frequency effects of freestream pulse wave on boundary
