Background: Six different N-terminal amyloid precursor protein (APP) fragments, with molecular weight ∼12 kDa, have previously been identified in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In a pilot study, both the sum of their concentrations, measured by western blot, and the relative abundance pattern, measured by mass spectrometry, were different in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients compared to healthy
For many years, a connection between circadian clocks and cancer has been postulated. Here we describe an unexpected function for the circadian repressor CRY2 as a component of an FBXL3-containing E3 ligase that recruits T58-phosphorylated c-MYC for ubiquitylation. c-MYC is a critical regulator of cell proliferation; T58 is central in a phosphodegron long recognized as a hotspot for mutation in ca
Understanding why species richness peaks along the Andes is a fundamental question in the study of Neotropical biodiversity. Several biogeographic and diversification scenarios have been proposed in the literature, but there is confusion about the processes underlying each scenario, and assessing their relative contribution is not straightforward. Here, we propose to refine these scenarios into a
3′-Phosphoadenosine-5′-phosphosulfate (PAPS) is a key player in the sulfation of biomolecules, but methods for selective measurements are lacking. A liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) approach for measuring PAPS was developed. A central feature of the method was employing hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC), which is highly suited for separating very polar/charged co
In order to be able to realistically and consistently elucidate and subsequently simulate the load–displacement behavior of single-dowel connections, the material behavior of the individual components, namely steel dowels and wood, needs to be investigated. The behavior of slotted-in, single-dowel steel-to-laminated veneer lumber (LVL) connections with dowel diameters of 12 and 20 mm is thoroughly
We present a digital-to-time converter (DTC)-assisted fractional-N wide-bandwidth all-digital PLL (ADPLL). It employs a MASH ΔΣ time-to-digital converter (TDC) to achieve low in-band phase noise, and a wide-tuning range digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO). Fabricated in 40nm CMOS, the ADPLL consumes 10.7 mW while outputting 1.73 to 3.38 GHz (after a ÷2 division) and achieves better than -109 dBc
This study reports the prevalence and prognostic impact of right bundle branch block (RBBB) and left bundle branch block (LBBB) in the admission electrocardiogram (ECG) of comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The present study is part of the predefined electrocardiographic substudy of the prospective randomized target temperature management trial, which found no benefit of
