Mutants of the ABCG Transporter in Have Deficient Olfactory Learning and Cholesterol Homeostasis.

's gene encodes an ATP-binding cassette G-subfamily (ABCG) half-transporter. White is closely related to mammalian ABCG family members that function in cholesterol efflux. Mutants of have several behavioral phenotypes that are independent of visual defects.

Tailoring nitric oxide release with additive manufacturing to create antimicrobial surfaces.

The current use of implantable and indwelling medical is limited due to potential microbial colonization leading to severe ailments. The aim of this work is to develop bioactive polymers that can be customized based on patient needs and help prevent bacterial infection. Potential benefits of additive manufacturing technology are integrated with the antimicrobial properties of nitric oxide (NO) to develop NO-releasing biocompatible polymer interfaces for addressing bacterial infections.
