Journal ArticleDOI

Reliability and validity of the Stanford Presenteeism Scale.

TL;DR: The SPS demonstrates a high degree of reliability and validity and may be ideal for employers who seek a single scale to measure health-related productivity in a diverse employee population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tunable protein degradation in bacteria

TL;DR: In this article, the Mesoplasma florum transfer-messenger RNA system is used to create a synthetic degradation system that provides both independent control of steady-state protein level and inducible degradation of targeted proteins in Escherichia coli.

Bactericidal Antibiotics Induce Toxic Metabolic Perturbations that Lead to Cellular Damage

TL;DR: It is shown that bactericidal antibiotics induce a complex set of metabolic changes that are correlated with the buildup of toxic metabolic by-products, and potential end-target consequences of these metabolic perturbations are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adult somatic stem cells in the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni

TL;DR: Using RNA interference it is demonstrated that this gene is required for the maintenance of these neoblast-like cells in the trematode Schistosoma mansoni, indicating that adaptation of developmental strategies shared by free-living ancestors to modern-day schistosomes probably contributed to the success of these animals as long-lived obligate parasites.
