Ανασυνδυασμένη πρωτεϊνική κινάση MuSK και χρήση της για την ανάπτυξη αντιγονοειδικής θεραπείας της MuSK-εξαρτώμενης βαριάς μυασθένειας
… αντισώματα έναντι της ειδικής κινάσης μυϊκής (MuSK). Η MuSK είναι απαραίτητη για την ανάπτυξη της νευρομυϊκής σύναψης αλλά επίσης, εκφράζεται και στην ώριμη νευρομυϊκή σύναψη όπου εμπλέκεται, μέσω της αγρίνης, στην αγκυροβόληση των υποδοχέων της ακετυλοχολίνης στη μεμβράνη. Η MuSK αποτελείται …

Funktion der muskelspezifischen Kinase MuSK : Analyse im transgenen Tiermodell
In der Entwicklung der neuromuskulären Synapse (NMJ) spielt die muskelspezifische Kinase (MuSK) eine zentrale Rolle. Die Expression der Acetylcholinrezeptoren (AChR) ist in den Muskelfasern während der Embryonalphase von MuSK abhängig, so dass MuSK-defiziente Tiere keine NMJ entwickelt haben und …

Exploring Eastern Musk Turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) Population Dynamics and Phenotypic Plasticity in Comal Springs, Texas
… affected by anthropogenic change. The eastern musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) is a small, omnivorous species inhabiting spring systems in Central Texas, where invasive gastropods have become abundant. This study investigates whether dietary shifts toward these gastropods are associated with …

Behavioral and Physiological Evidence for Musk Gland Secretions as a Chemical Alarm Cue in the Cottonmouth, Agkistrodon Piscivorus
… release malodorous secretions from cloacal musk glands when harassed by predators. Although these secretions have mainly been evaluated as predator deterrents, they have also been suggested to function as alarm pheromones. I conducted two experiments to test the hypothesis that musk gland …

Impact of Rhinocyllus conicus Froelich (Coleoptera:Curculioniadae) on the reproduction of Carduus thistles in Virginia
Musk thistle (Carduus nutans) seed production from early developing (terminal and first lateral) heads was reduced by 10% in 1973 and 75% in 1974 due to larval feeding of Rhinocyllus conicus. This was caused by heavy infestation of the early heads (45% in 1973, 70% in 1974) with a subsequent 5-fold …

The use of habitat classification and mapping of the threatened flattened musk turtle in the shoreline management of Smith Lake, Alabama
… shoreline for the federally threatened flattened musk turtle (Sternotherus depressus). The shoreline of Smith Lake was visually assessed by a biologist familiar with S. depressus. Segments of shoreline were designated "Good", "Moderate" or "Poor" relative to substrate type. Sternotherus depressus …

A Comparison of the Viability of Thistle Weevils From Fire Ant Suppressed Site to Weevils From a Site Where Fire Ants Were Not Suppressed
… control for another non-native species, the musk thistle,<em> Carduus nutans</em>. Musk thistle are noxious weeds of pastures which reduce forage for grazing livestock. A high weevil population is necessary to achieve control of musk thistle. The study site is situated at the southernmost …

An Evaluation of a Low-Cost UAV Approach to Noxious Weed Mapping
… on foot method. Two noxious weeds were studied: musk thistle (Carduus nutans) and dalmation toadflax (Linaria dalmatica). The musk thistle was visually identifiable in the imagery but the dalmation toadflax was confused with yellow sweet clover (Melilotus officinalis). It was found that after the …

Interactions between the rust fungus Puccinia carduorum Jacky and the musk thistle herbivores Trichosirocalus horridus (Panzer), Rhinocyllus conicus Froelich (Curculionidae: Coleoptera), and Cassida rubiginosa Muller (Coleoptera; Chrysomelidae)
The compatibility of the rust fungus Puccinia carduorum Jacky with three biological control agents, Trichosirocalus horridus (Panzer), rhinocvllus conicus Froelich, and Cassida rubiginosa Müller and their combined impact on must thistle, Carduus thoermeri Weinmann were studied.
