Pyroxenes are a major group of rock-forming minerals. Scientists investigated the iron ion status of a calcium-rich pyroxene, using Mössbauer spectroscopy on thin sections of single crystals. The ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers investigated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) envelope (E) protein activity in terms of calcium ...

At the cellular level, the mechanics of how muscle tissue repair occurs gets complicated. There are significant differences ...

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are tetramers assembled from subunits with six membrane-spanning domains, are permeable to monovalent cations and calcium, and are linked to the ...

New research reveals role for calcium ions in chromosome condensation during mitosis; high-resolution imaging of living cells reveals compact, globular chromosomes in the presence of calcium that ...

To understand the earliest phases of epidermal cell spreading we have sought a defined in vitro system. We studied the divalent cation dependence of guinea pig epidermal cell spreading in media ...

Calcium is the third most abundant metal in the earth’s crust. It is trimorphic in structure and its hardness is greater than that of sodium. It is less chemically reactive than alkaline metals. The ...

2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is a common ingredient in POST broadleaf herbicides labeled for use in turf, pastures, rangeland, and grain crops. The herbicide 2,4-D is a weak acid, and when ...
