Interazioni piante-insetti mediate da semiochimici
Numerosi parassitoidi localizzano i propri ospiti sfruttando le miscele di composti volatili rilasciate dalle piante infestate, che sono segnali più facilmente reperibili nell’ambiente rispetto agli odori emessi dai soli fitofagi. Anche Diglyphus isaea (Walker), un ectoparassitoide paleartico …

Characterization of Mechanisms That Mediate Cancer Metastatic Colonization
… work towards understanding mechanisms that mediate colorectal cancer colonization of the liver in order to guide novel therapeutic strategies. An in vivo large-scale RNAinterference screen was performed to identify genes required for liver colonization. Liver and red blood cell pyruvate …

The Power Fantastic: How Genre Expectations Mediate Authority
<p>This dissertation reconciles academic and popular uses of the term genre, concluding that genre is a transmedial, mutable, associative, recognized system regulated through tacit understandings of prestige and power in a given Social space. The study employs a digital humanities method (dependent …

AUDITORY CUES AND RESPONSE MODES MEDIATE PERIPHERAL VISUAL MISLOCALIZATION
The current study investigates the influence of auditory cues on the localization of briefly presented peripheral visual stimuli. Because the brief presentation of peripheral visual stimuli often leads to mislocalization (Binda, Morrone, & Burr, 2010; Bocianski, Musseler, & Erlhagen, 2008; …

RNA-binding proteins mediate anti-inflammatory regulation of vascular disease
… is driven by inflammation, SG may mediate the cellular response to inflammation, and that anti-inflammatory treatment may lessen atherosclerosis progression and plaque formation by reduction of SGs.

Search For The Functions That Mediate Protein Palmitoylation And Depalmitoylation
… the site of Yck2 palmitoylation and thereby mediates the decrease in palmitoylated Yck2. Additionally, the yeast protein YBR096w, a weaker candidate from the genomic screens was also characterized. This protein has several potential lipidation sites and a thioesterase domain, characteristics …

Ire1 regulates cyp11a1 transcription to mediate steroidogenesis in the ovary
… In order to identify novel factors that mediate CYP11A1 transcriptional activation, we performed a kinase screen and identified inositol-requiring enzyme 1 alpha (IRE1) as a mediator CYP11A1 transcription. IRE1 is an ER stress signal transducer, however an ER stress response is not …

Does Joint Attention Mediate the Relationship between Temperament and Language?
<p>Individual differences in child temperament have been associated with individual differences in language development; similarly, relationships have been separately reported among temperament, language and early nonverbal social communication (joint attention). The present study examined the …

Mechanistic insights into how collective effects mediate the T cell response
T cells play an important role in the adaptive immune system by providing robust responses to foreign pathogens while avoiding widespread autoimmunity. Although many specific microscopic factors are thought to contribute to this self/non-self discrimination, based on a theoretical paper and …

Sulfatides mediate Disabled-2 membrane localization and stability during platelet aggregation
… thus sequestering the protein from thrombin-mediated platelet aggregation, the phosphoinositide mediates its internalization. Experimental data support the hypothesis that two pools of Dab2 co-exist at the platelet surface and that the balance between them controls the extent of the clotting …

Deficits in inhibitory function mediate age-related multisensory and postural function decline
The natural aging process can result in deficits across sensory and motor systems, leading to difficulty in navigating the environment at both a physical and perceptual level. For instance, degraded vision and hearing can result in unreliable sensory information and difficulty in comprehending …

DOES CONTROL MEDIATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SELF-COMPLEXITY AND POSTTRAUMATIC PSYCHOLOGICAL ADJUSTMENT?
… design, the research question ‘does control mediate the relationship between self-complexity and posttraumatic psychological adjustment?’ was investigated. Efforts were made to overcome the methodological limitations identified by previous research. One-hundred and ninety-four adult trauma …

Daily patterns of oviposition mediate sexual conflict in a polygynandrous mating system
Conflicts of interest between the sexes are considered strong forces in shaping mating systems. Thus an understanding of the behaviour of both sexes is essential. The waterstrider Aquarius remigis has been used in several studies investigating sexual conflict. However, little is known about …

Maternal and Child Anxiety: Do Attachment Beliefs and Parenting Behaviors Mediate the Association?
… Beliefs and Parental Involvement appeared to mediate the association between maternal and child anxiety. Findings are discussed in terms of elucidating the role of attachment beliefs and parenting behaviors on the association between maternal and child anxiety.

Genetic Variation and Sex Mediate Differential Responses to ∆-9-tetrahydrocannabinol among Inbred Mice
… test which quantifies the strength of agonist mediated cannabinoid receptor signaling by measuring the level of motor activity, nociception, and hypothermia elicited by receptor activation. We then extend our study of THC response variation to the BXD genetic reference population derived from …

Dendritic Cells Mediate the Dual Effects of IFN alpha/beta in HCV Immunity
<p>Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects an estimated 170 million people and is responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide. Successful resolution of infection is achieved naturally in approximately 30% of infected individuals and correlates with a strong T cell response. Furthermore, …
