A Qualitative Exploration of Social Support in Males and Females Experiencing Issues With Infertility.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to qualitatively investigate and compare male and female experiences of infertility in the context of social support.

Methods: A Qualtrics survey (Qualtrics, Provo, Utah, United States) was posted to online fertility support groups and the responses were thematically analyzed. Only participants that completed the qualitative component of the survey were included in the study.

Possible Gender Differences in the Level of Perceived Social Support in Couples Who Are Experiencing Issues With Infertility.

Objective The purpose of this study is to examine whether there are gender differences in the level of perceived social support in couples experiencing issues with fertility. Methods A total of 938 participants aged 18-47 years, with self-reported issues of infertility, were evaluated using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) which comprises three subscales which correspond with distinct sources of social support: significant other (SO), family, and friends. Differences between sexes for total score and for all subscale scores were subsequently analyzed using SPSS Statistics (IBM Corp, Armonk, USA).

The dynamic nature of the coronavirus receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in differentiating airway epithelia.

Once inhaled, SARS-CoV-2 particles enter respiratory ciliated cells by interacting with angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Understanding the nature of ACE2 within airway tissue has become a recent focus particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Airway mucociliary tissue was generated using primary human nasal epithelial cells and the air-liquid interface (ALI) model of differentiation.

Combining Non-reducing SDS-PAGE Analysis and Chemical Crosslinking to Detect Multimeric Complexes Stabilized by Disulfide Linkages in Mammalian Cells in Culture.

The structures of many proteins are stabilized through covalent disulfide linkages. In recent work, this bond has also been classified as a post-translational modification. Thus, it is important to be able to study this modification in living cells.

Cysteine residues contribute to the dimerization and enzymatic activity of human nuclear dUTP nucleotidohydrolase (nDut).

dUTPase is an enzyme found in all organisms that have thymine as a constituent of DNA. Through evolution, humans have two major isoforms of dUTPase: a mitochondrial (mDut) and a nuclear (nDut) isoform. The nuclear isoform of dUTPase is a 164-amino-acids-long protein containing three cysteine residues.

Quantitative analysis of the mechanism of DNA binding by Bacillus DnaA protein.

DnaA protein has the sole responsibility of initiating a new round of DNA replication in prokaryotic organisms. It recognizes the origin of DNA replication, and initiates chromosomal DNA replication in the bacterial genome. In Gram-negative Escherichia coli, a large number of DnaA molecules bind to specific DNA sequences (known as DnaA boxes) in the origin of DNA replication, oriC, leading to the activation of the origin.
