The Negative Impact of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder on Working Memory of Icelandic University Students
… their attention and get less distracted by environmental stimulus. Recent studies revealed that individuals with experience of trauma and PTSD diagnosis have memory impairment and lack concentration in regular life situations, indicating impairment in working memory. The present study …

Characterization of a Phosphomimetic Mutant of the ALS Associated Protein TDP-43
… CTE has made repetitive brain injury a possible environmental stimulus for aggregation in TDP-43 proteinopathies. We expand upon the hypothesis that TDP-43 readily aggregates under agitation conditions and that the addition of poly-TG repeats to TDP-43 in aggregation conditions attenuates its …

Function and Environmental Regulation ofkpsF, the First Gene of the Region One Operon of Escherichia Coli K1
Temperature is the only environmental stimulus currently known to affect K1 capsule expression. Capsule is maximally expressed at body temperature (37$\sp\circ$C or 98.6$\sp\circ$F), but is turned off at temperatures commonly encountered in the external environment, below about 26$\sp\circ$C. …

Antibodies to Heterogenous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein A1 Penetrate Neurons Leading to Multiple Downstream Effects Resulting in Neurodegeneration
… susceptible individuals due to an unknown environmental stimulus. MS patients produce autoantibodies to heterogenous nuclear ribonuclearprotein A1 (hnRNP A1), an RNA binding protein (RBP) highly expressed in neurons. hnRNP A1 functions in pre-mRNA splicing, mRNA trafficking, and …

Gene expression in post mortem dermal tissue
… these cells retain the ability to respond to an environmental stimulus by transcribing specific genes.

RNA interference with allatoregulating neuropeptide genes affecting circadian rhythm, development, mating and reproduction of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
… control as well as under somatic and environmental stimulus. Two types of allatostatins (Spofr-AS type Manse-AS and Spofr-AS type A or FGLamides) and two allatotropins (Spofr-AT 1 or Manse-AT and Spofr-AT 2) were identified and cloned from Spodoptera frugiperda. Their functions were …

Functional Protein Based Materials
… the system to bend/actuate in response to an environmental stimulus. In Chapter III, gelatin layers were chemically crosslinked to different degrees with glutaraldehyde to achieve bilayer bending when placed in water. Curvature of the bilayer system was found to be dependent on the difference …

Chemical amplification in self-stiffening materials
… are able to utilize a neutral or even harmful environmental stimulus generated in the damage event but very often require the stimulus to be above a threshold level to enable effective property recovery, which may not be always fulfilled especially in the early stage of a damage that leads to …

Analysis of post-translational modifications of the blue light photoreceptor, phot1, by the CRL3NPH3 ubiquitin ligase complex
… evolved many strategies to cope with the diverse environmental stimuli they encounter in nature. One such strategy is the phototropic response by which plants reorient the aerial organs toward and roots away from directional blue light. The blue light response can be broken down into three general …

The Environmental Control of Reproduction in the Female Dace, Leuciscus leuciscus
… maturation (up to 5 months), suggesting that the stimulus for ovarian development and maturation was a short day. However, experiments conducted later in the reproductive cycle demonstrated that only a simulated ambient photoperiod could induce final maturation. It is proposed therefore that under …

Preeclampsia: The Roles of Acute Inflammation and Intrauterine Stress
… and 2) these modifications in the presence of environmental stressor lead to hypertension. Furthermore, we postulate that these epigenetic modifications are conserved across generations. Intrauterine epigenetic changes, specifically decreased global methylation of renal DNA and AT1R promoter, …
