The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) is the main route of protein degradation in eukaryotic cells and aids in regulation of cell cycle and cellular homeostasis. This robust pathway can also be utilized for reverse genetics ...

Photonics is the physical science of light (photon) generation, detection and manipulation. Silicon photonics, in particular, has gained a lot of interest in the last few decades due to its ability to control light at ...

The increased sensitivity and spatial resolution of the ALFALFA HI survey has resulted in the detection of ultra-compact high velocity clouds (UCHVCs). These objects are good candidates to represent low mass gas-rich ...

Performance of large (km scale) electron accelerators (used for high energy physics experiments and as x-ray sources) as well as small (m scale) ultra-fast electron diffraction setups is limited by the source of electrons. ...

The capacity of photonic waveguides to guide and confine light allows for nonlinear interactions with modest power levels in a readily engineerable platform. Through design of the waveguide dispersion the phase-matching ...

Ultrafast lasers have had tremendous impact on both science and applications, far beyond what their inventors could have imagined. Commercially-available solid-state lasers can readily generate coherent pulses lasting only ...

Understanding the intracellular processing and biological response of ultrasmall fluorescent silica nanoparticles is critical to improving their therapeutic potency, however most imaging methodologies cannot resolve the ...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the leading cause of anovulatory infertility in women. Disordered folliculogenesis in PCOS has long been characterized by three phenomena: (1) the accumulation of small follicles, (2) ...

Beginning from the observation of a range of apparently "inexplicable inhibitions" in myself and others - inhibitions one might not expect from having grown up in a culture constituted by the "free exercise of free human ...
