Densin-180 is a core protein of postsynaptic densities (PSDs) in excitatory neurons. Densin is known to interact with Maguin-1 and PSD-95, suggesting that it plays a role in the NMDA receptor complex. Densin also interacts with δ-Catenin and N-Cadherin, an adhesion complex known…

Over the past 30 years, mammalian cell culture has enabled the production of recombinant protein therapeutics for treatment of a broad range of debilitating or life-threatening diseases. Continual improvements in cell and process engineering have facilitated the attainment of on…

Seasonal environmental changes act as a selective force. Across insects, there are many adaptations to unfavorable seasons. Aestivation is one such adaptation that allows insects to survive hot and dry periods experienced in summer seasons. Drosophila mojavensis is a cactophilic…
