Electrical conductivity in ionic complexes of poly(ethylene oxide)
Abstract The temperature dependence of d.c. conductivity of poly(ethylene oxide) complexes with sodium iodide and the thiocyanates of sodium, potassium and ammonium has been inv...
The mode of antimicrobial action of the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree oil)
The essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Its mode of action against the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli AG...
Plant-Based Dietary Patterns and Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes in US Men and Women: Results from Three Prospective Cohort Studies
Our study suggests that plant-based diets, especially when rich in high-quality plant foods, are associated with substantially lower risk of developing T2D. This supports curren...
Mechanism of Action of<i>Melaleuca alternifolia</i>(Tea Tree) Oil on<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>Determined by Time-Kill, Lysis, Leakage, and Salt Tolerance Assays and Electron Microscopy
ABSTRACT The essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. The mechanisms of action of tea tree oil and three of its components, ...
Nitric oxide and cGMP cause vasorelaxation by activation of a charybdotoxin-sensitive K channel by cGMP-dependent protein kinase.
Nitric oxide (NO)-induced relaxation is associated with increased levels of cGMP in vascular smooth muscle cells. However, the mechanism by which cGMP causes relaxation is unkno...
Age-Dependent Neurofibrillary Tangle Formation, Neuron Loss, and Memory Impairment in a Mouse Model of Human Tauopathy (P301L)
Here, we describe the generation of a novel transgenic mouse model of human tauopathy. The rTg(tau P301L )4510 mouse expresses the P301L mutation in tau (4R0N) associated with f...
A box diffusion model to study the carbon dioxide exchange in nature
Phenomena related to the natural carbon cycle as the 14C distribution between atmosphere and ocean and the atmospheric response to the input of fossil fuel CO<sub>2</sub> and of...
Antimicrobial activity of the major components of the essential oil of <i>Melaleuca alternifolia</i>
Tea tree oil, or the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia , is becoming increasingly popular as a naturally occurring antimicrobial agent. The antimicrobial activity of eight...
The Catalytic Site Atlas: a resource of catalytic sites and residues identified in enzymes using structural data
The Catalytic Site Atlas (CSA) provides catalytic residue annotation for enzymes in the Protein Data Bank. It is available online at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/thornton-srv/databases/...
Interleukin 6 Is Required for the Development of Collagen-induced Arthritis
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is overproduced in the joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and, based on its multiple stimulatory effects on cells of the immune system and on...
