A New Method for Assessing Critical Thinking in the Classroom
TL;DR: The authors used Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives to define critical thinking, and developed a process by which questions are prepared with both content and critical-thinking skills in mind, and grading rubrics are prepared in advance that specify how to evaluate both the content and the critical thinking aspects of an answer.

Molecular mechanisms of platelet exocytosis: role of SNAP-23 and syntaxin 2 in dense core granule release
TL;DR: Immunoprecipitation studies showed that the 2 t-SNAREs syntaxin 2 and SNAP-23 do form a complex in vivo, which clearly show that SNAPs, NSF, and specific t- SNAREs are used for dense core granule release; these data provide a greater understanding of regulated exocytosis in platelets.

Regulated Secretion in Platelets: Identification of Elements of the Platelet Exocytosis Machinery
Paula P. Lemons,Dong Chen,Dong Chen,Audrey M. Bernstein,Audrey M. Bernstein,Mark K. Bennett,Mark K. Bennett,Sidney W. Whiteheart,Sidney W. Whiteheart +8 more
TL;DR: The presence of both the general transport proteins (NSF and SNAPs) and specific Transport proteins (syntaxin 2 and 4) indicates that platelet exocytosis uses a molecular mechanism similar to other secretory cells such as neurons, however, the subcellular concentrations of these proteins suggest that, unlike neuronal secretion, granule-to plasma membrane docking may be the limiting step in plateletExocyTosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular mechanisms of platelet exocytosis: role of SNAP-23 and syntaxin 2 and 4 in lysosome release.
TL;DR: It is shown that regardless of stimuli (Ca(++) or GTP-gamma-S) serotonin and hexosaminidase release requires the same membrane fusion machinery.
Journal ArticleDOI
It’s Personal: Biology Instructors Prioritize Personal Evidence over Empirical Evidence in Teaching Decisions
Tessa C. Andrews,Paula P. Lemons +1 more
TL;DR: This study investigates the conditions and factors that influence college biology instructors as they make decisions about adopting, sustaining, and improving the effectiveness of case study teaching.
