TL;DR: Analysis of Alu repeats and comparison of KIR gene sequences are consistent with a recent origin, and KIR genesis was followed by extensive duplication/deletion as well as intergenic sequence exchange, reminiscent of MHC class I genes, which provide KIR ligands.

TL;DR: It is shown that SIN-1 is capable of initiating the peroxidation of LDL and also converts the lipoprotein to a more negatively charged form, consistent with the hypothesis that a product of superoxide and nitric oxide could oxidize lipoproteins in the artery wall and so contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in vivo.

TL;DR: SOSG is a useful in vivo probe for the detection of singlet oxygen, which is thought to have a very short half-life in biological systems and, consequently, it is difficult to detect.

TL;DR: Multivariate analysis of sole carbon source utilization patterns and PLFAs demonstrated that land use history and plant cover type had a significant impact on microbial community structure, and PLFA analysis was a better method for assessing broad-spectrum community differences and at the same time attempting to correlate changes with soil fertility.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the ways in which the major rock-forming primary minerals (olivine, pyroxenes, amphiboles, feldspars, micas and chlorites) break down during weathering, the products that develop during this breakdown and the rates at which this breakdown occurs.
