Naja mossambica mossambica Cobra Cardiotoxin Targets Mitochondria to Disrupt Mitochondrial Membrane Structure and Function
(Toxins, 2019)Cobra venom cardiotoxins (CVCs) can translocate to mitochondria to promote apoptosis by eliciting mitochondrial dysfunction. However, the molecular mechanism(s) by which CVCs are selectively targeted to the mitochondrion ... -

Naja naja oxiana Cobra Venom Cytotoxins CTI and CTII Disrupt Mitochondrial Membrane Integrity: Implications for Basic Three-Fingered Cytotoxins
(2015)Cobra venom cytotoxins are basic three-fingered, amphipathic, non-enzymatic proteins that constitute a major fraction of cobra venom. While cytotoxins cause mitochondrial dysfunction in different cell types, the mechanisms ... -

Nanometallic glasses: size reduction brings ductility, surface state drives its extent
(American Chemical Society, 2013)We report tensile experiments on Ni80P20 metallic glass samples fabricated via a templated electroplating process and via focused ion beam milling, which differed only in their surface energy states: Ga-ion-irradiated and ... -

Nanosecond electric pulses differentially affect inward and outward currents in patch clamped adrenal chromaffin cells
(2017)This study examined the effect of 5 ns electric pulses on macroscopic ionic currents in whole-cell voltage-clamped adrenal chromaffin cells. Current-voltage (I-V) relationships first established that the early peak inward ... -

Nanotwinned Boron Suboxide (B6O): New Ground State of B6O
(American Chemical Society, 2016)Nanotwinned structures in superhard ceramics rhombohedral boron suboxide (R-B6O) have been examined using a combination of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and quantum mechanics (QM). QM predicts negative relative ... -

Nanotwinning and amorphization of boron suboxide
(Elsevier, 2018)Recently, researchers discovered that in contrast to isolated twins, periodic twins with nanoscale spacing can dramatically improve mechanical properties. Ceramics engineers now seek to incorporate this “nanotwinning” into ... -

Nanotwins soften boron-rich boron carbide (B13C2)
(AIP Publishing, 2017)Extensive studies of metals and alloys have observed that nanotwins lead to strengthening, but the role of nanotwins in ceramics is not well established. We compare here the shear strength and the deformation mechanism of ... -

Natural air drying of diatomaceous earth
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1956)The fact that diatomaceous earth dries in air has been known and used for some time (1) (2). Research in the literature showed that no work had been done on natural air drying, probably because only semi-quantitative results ... -
