Aborted oceanic basin during the Mesozoic rifting of the South-Iberian Palaeomargin and interactions with the sedimentation processes by Matías Reolid (4318252)

“…Values of some ratios such as (Gd/Yb)_N, (La/Yb)_N, (La/Sm)_N, and the Nb content increase in the Upper Cretaceous pillow-lava flows, whereas Yb and Y contents decrease, that point to more alkaline affinity. Low Yb and Y contents point to the presence of garnet as residual phase in the mantle source. …”

Kinases are recruited to the signaling complex by alternative N-t localization domains. by Paloma M. Sato (672126)

“…In most cases, mutations that disrupt specific recruitment interactions decrease pathway activation between 40%–50%. MUT Ste20[N]-Ste50[C] might still localize to the signaling complex, as Ste50's RA domain binds Cdc42 independently of Ste20's PBD domain <a href="http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.1002012#pbio.1002012-Truckses1" target="_blank">[53]</a>. …”

CRT silencing improved FZD-induced injury of mitochondria and cardiomyocytes. by Ming Zhang (9736)
