Previously, we demonstrated that nucleotides released upon mechanical injury to corneal epithelium activate purinergic (P2) receptors resulting in mobilization of a Ca(2+) wave.However, the tissue is extensively innervated and communication between epithelium and neurons is critical and not well understood.Therefore, we developed a co-culture of pr

Introduction: Amino acids are critical biomarkers for many inborn errors of metabolism, but Jeans amino acid analysis is challenging due to the range of chemical properties inherent in these small molecules.Techniques are available for amino acid analysis, but they can suffer from long run times, laborious derivatization, and/or poor resolution of

Cover crops are an increasingly popular practice to improve agroecosystem resilience to climate change, pests, and other stressors.Despite their importance for climate mitigation and soil health, there remains an urgent need for methods that link winter cover crops with regional-scale climate mitigation and adaptation potential.Remote sensing is id

The pitch-accent system in Northern Bizkaian Basque (NBB) is characterized for making a pitch distinction between lexical accented/unaccented words (i.e.singular vs.plural contrast) and for lacking a durational correlate of accentual prominence.The present study examines whether such system is maintained jeff rosenstock buffalo in Gernika Basque, a
