    • Control of Eukaryotic Transcription Elongation 

      Winston, Fred Marshall (BioMed Central, 2001)
      The Spt4, Spt5, and Spt6 proteins are conserved eukaryotic transcription-elongation factors. Recent studies have provided the first evidence that they are generally required in multicellular eukaryotes, including during ...

    • Control of Fire in the Paleolithic: Evaluating the Cooking Hypothesis 

      Wrangham, Richard (University of Chicago Press, 2017-08)
      According to current evidence, Homo sapiens was unable to survive on a diet of raw wild foods. Because cooked diets have large physiological and behavioral consequences, a critical question for understanding human evolution ...

    • Control of HIV-1C Replication Both in Vivo and in Vitro 

      Xie, Wen (2015-05-18)
      In this study, we established an HIV latency model using pluripotent stem cells in vitro. We found that a HIV accessory protein nef is responsible for full-length HIV silencing in human pluripotent stem cells. This effect ...

      Increased vascular permeability contributes to many diseases, including acute respiratory distress syndrome, cancer and inflammation. Most past work on vascular barrier function has focused on soluble regulators, such as ...

    • Control of Neurotransmitter Release Properties by Presynaptic Calcium 

      Thanawala, Monica Shishir (2014-06-06)
      Presynaptic terminals of neurons are optimized for neurotransmitter release, which is tightly controlled by presynaptic calcium. Here, we evaluate the role of calcium influx through voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) ...

      Kang, Sung; Pokroy, Boaz; Mahadevan, Lakshminarayanan; Aizenberg, Joanna (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010)
      Control of self-organization of nanofibers into regular clusters upon evaporation-induced assembly is receiving increasing attention due to the potential importance of this process in a range of applications including ...

    • Control of soft machines using actuators operated by a Braille display 

      Mosadegh, Bobak; Mazzeo, Aaron D.; Shepherd, Robert F.; Morin, Stephen A.; Gupta, Unmukt; Sani, Idin Zhalehdoust; Lai, David; Takayama, Shuichi; Whitesides, George McClelland (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2014)
      One strategy for actuating soft machines (e.g., tentacles, grippers, and simple walkers) uses pneumatic inflation of networks of small channels in an elastomeric material. Although the management of a few pneumatic inputs ...

    • Control of spin dynamics for applications in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance 

      Koroleva, Van Do Mai (2013-10-17)
      Sophisticated electromagnetic pulse sequences that control spin dynamics have been developed in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) over the last few decades. However, due to more and more demanding criteria, such as unknown ...

    • Control of the Mitotic Cleavage Plane by Local Epithelial Topology 

      Gibson, William Tyler; Veldhuis, James H.; Rubinstein, Boris; Cartwright, Heather N.; Perrimon, Norbert; Brodland, G. Wayne; Nagpal, Radhika; Gibson, Matthew C. (Elsevier (Cell Press), 2011)
      For nearly 150 years, it has been recognized that cell shape strongly influences the orientation of the mitotic cleavage plane (e.g. Hofmeister, 1863). However, we still understand little about the complex interplay between ...

    • Control of Turning Behaviors by Spinal Projection Neurons in the Larval Zebrafish 

      Huang, Kuo-Hua (2012-09-17)
      This thesis aims to examine how hindbrain spinal projection neurons (SPNs), namely RoV3, MiV1 and MiV2 control tail undulations during turning behaviors. I find that phototaxic turns differ from forward swims by an increased ...

    • Control of Visually Guided Behavior by Distinct Populations of Spinal Projection Neurons 

      Orger, Michael B; Kampff, Adam R; Severi, Kristen E; Bollmann, Johann H; Engert, Florian (Nature Publishing Group, 2008)
      A basic question in the field of motor control is how different actions are represented by activity in spinal projection neurons. We used a new behavioral assay to identify visual stimuli that specifically drive basic motor ...

    • Control over Rectification in Supramolecular Tunneling Junctions 

      Wimbush, Kim S.; Reus, William F.; van der Wiel, Wilfred G.; Reinhoudt, David N.; Whitesides, George McClelland; Nijhuis, Christian A.; Velders, Aldrik H. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)
