AN ALTERNATIVELY SPLICED, NON-SIGNALING INSULIN RECEPTOR MODULATES INSULIN SENSITIVITY VIA INSULIN PEPTIDE SEQUESTRATION IN C. ELEGANS

An alternatively spliced, non-signaling insulin receptor modulates insulin sensitivity via insulin peptide sequestration in C. elegans

In the nematode C.elegans, insulin signaling regulates development and aging in response to the secretion of numerous insulin peptides.Here, we describe a novel, non-signaling isoform of the nematode insulin receptor (IR), DAF-2B, that modulates insulin signaling by sequestration of insulin peptides.DAF-2B arises via alternative splicing and retain

Intra- and Inter-Rater Reliability of Manual Feature Extraction Methods in Movement Related Cortical Potential Analysis

Event related potentials (ERPs) provide insight into the neural activity generated in response to motor, sensory and cognitive processes.Despite the increasing use of ERP data in clinical research little is known about the reliability of human manual keychain ERP labelling methods.Intra-rater and inter-rater reliability were evaluated in five elect
