Designing and implementing a truly self-determined physical activity (PA) intervention has required excessive amounts of labor and expenses that, until recently, have made it prohibitively costly to implement in the field at scale.

Guided by self-determination theory, and harnessing the power of consumer-grade interactive technologies, we…[Read more]

Furthermore, we performed a qualitative study through semi-structured interviews with 16 interns and analyzed the data using MAXQDA 10 software.

The results of the quantitative study showed that 8.4% of interns evaluated the program as poor, 66.3% moderate, and 25.3% good. The qualitative study showed that number and diversity of patients,…[Read more]

Mechanotransduction is the leading cellular process that mammalian cells adopted to receive and respond to various mechanical cues from their local microenvironment. Increasing evidence suggests that mechano-transduction is involved in many physiological and disease conditions, ranging from early embryonic development, organogenesis, to a variety…[Read more]

Euglena gracilis, a unicellular phytoflagellate microalga, is a promising biomaterial for foods, feeds, and biofuels. However, targeted mutagenesis in this species has been a long-standing challenge. We recently developed a transgene-free, highly efficient, genome editing method for E. gracilis using CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNPs). Our…[Read more]

Molecular docking studies showed that both oxyfluorfen and compound 9d can enter the PPO cavity to occupy the active site and compete with the porphyrin to block the chlorophyll synthesis process, affect photosynthesis, and eventually cause weed death. Compound 9d was found to be a promising lead compound for novel herbicide development.Chitosan…[Read more]
