Immunological defect and its correction in the osteopetrotic mutant rat.

abstract：:This paper exploits a unique ongoing experiment to analyze the effects of early rearing conditions on physical and mental health in a sample of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). We analyze the health records of 231 monkeys that were randomly allocated at birth across three rearing conditions: mother rearing, peer reari...

abstract：:The twin-arginine transport (Tat) system is a protein-targeting pathway of prokaryotes and chloroplasts. Most Escherichia coli Tat substrates are complex metalloenzymes that must be correctly folded and assembled before transport, and a preexport chaperone-mediated "proofreading" process is therefore in operation. The...
