Music interventions for pain Cheese Grater are more successful when patients choose the music themselves.But little is known about the attentional strategies used by chronic pain patients when choosing or using music for pain management, and the degree to which these attentional strategies align with the cognitive mechanisms outlines in the cogniti
Do Males Form Social Associations Based on Sexual Attractiveness in a Fission-Fusion Fish Society?
Recent theory predicts that males should choose social environments that maximize their relative attractiveness to females by preferentially associating with less attractive rivals, so as to enhance their mating success.Using the Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata), a highly social species, we tested for non-random social associations among mal
SLI-1 Cbl inhibits the engulfment of apoptotic cells in C. elegans through a ligase-independent function.
The engulfment of apoptotic cells is required for Vase (Set of 2) normal metazoan development and tissue remodeling.In Caenorhabditis elegans, two parallel and partially redundant conserved pathways act in cell-corpse engulfment.One pathway, which includes the small GTPase CED-10 Rac and the cytoskeletal regulator ABI-1, acts to rearrange the cytos
Atomic structures of a bacteriocin targeting Gram-positive bacteria
Abstract Due to envelope differences between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, engineering precision bactericidal contractile nanomachines requires atomic-level understanding of their structures; however, only those killing Gram-negative bacteria are currently known.Here, we report the atomic structures of an engineered diffocin, a contract
