C-SHALS 2010: representing scientific discourse, or: why triples are not enough
1. representing scientiïŹc discourse, or:
why triples are not enough

3. why triples are not enough (1): commercial tool
insulin maintaining glucose homeostasis
When insulin secretion cannot be increased adequately (type I
diabetes defect) to overcome insulin resistance in maintaining
glucose homeostasis, hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance
ensues.
insulin may be involved glucose homeostasis
Because PANDER is expressed by pancreatic beta-cells and in
response to glucose in a similar way to those of insulin,
PANDER may be involved in glucose homeostasis.
the triples are often wrong.
you cannot check if they are true.
4. why triples are not enough (2): biocreative challenge
compare:
- In Xenopus oocyte maturation, cytoplasmic polyadenylation
mediated by cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein
(CPEB) induces the translation of maternal mRNA [5].
- In mouse testis, another novel member of the CPEB protein
family (CPEB2) and a homolog of xGLD-2 (mGLD-2) have been
identiïŹed [7] and [8]
to:
- TPAP was present in GSG1 immunoprecipitates (Fig. 2B).
The in vivo data suggest that TPAPâGSG1 interactions occur in
mammalian cells.
