To investigate if nasal irrigation could impact the severity and duration of viral URTI. 22 patients with new

proton pumps can mediate very powerful, safe, multiple-color silencing of neural activity. The gene archaerhodopsin-31 (Arch) from Halorubrum sodomense enables near-100 % silencing of neurons in the awake brain when virally expressed in mouse cortex and illuminated with yellow light. Arch mediates

microscopy and sucrose gradient experiments), it was reasoned that the dynamic nature of the viral capsid acts as a conduit to the interior of the particle. Potential applications include fluorescent labeling for imaging viral genomes in living cells, the sterilization of blood products, vaccine development

, and the functional characterization of M535L. Phylogenetic and sequence analyses place the viral proteins in group IIB of P-type ATPases even though they lack a typical feature of this class, a calmodulin-binding domain. A Ca 2+ pump gene is present in 45 of 47 viruses tested and is transcribed during virus

-driven chloride pump halorhodopsin from the archaebacterium Natronomas pharaonis (hereafter abbreviated Halo) to genetically-specified neurons enables them to be silenced reliably, and reversibly, by millisecond-timescale pulses of yellow light. We show that trains of yellow and blue light pulses can drive high

. In order to assess solute and viral transport in saprolite derived from Precambrian gneiss, forced-gradient tracer experiments using chloride and Es-cherichia coli phage FX174 were conducted in southeastern Uganda. The bacteriophage tracer was largely unre-covered; adsorption to the weathered crystalline

Background—A decrease in sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca21 pump (SERCA2) activity is believed to play a role in the impairment of diastolic function of the failing heart. Because the expression ratio of phospholamban (PL) to SERCA2 may be a target to improve contractile dysfunction, a PL antisense RNA

-driven outward proton pumps can mediate powerful, safe, multiple-colour silencing of neural activity. The gene archaerhodopsin-3 (Arch)1 from Halorubrum sodomense enables near-100 % silencing of neurons in the awake brain when virally expressed in the mouse cortex and illuminated with yellow light. Arch mediates

Background: The effect of abrupt weaning, advocated as a safe transition from exclusive breastfeeding in HIV-exposed children, on the quantity of HIV viral load in breast milk (BMVL) is not known. Objectives: To determine the effect of abrupt cessation of breastfeeding on serum prolactin, pumped
