Article describes study in which fpgs1ccoaomt1 double mutants were generated and functionally characterized in order to test if lignin content can be further reduced by combining genetic mutations in C1 metabolism and the lignin biosynthetic pathway.

Correction to the previously published article "Multiple levers for overcoming the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass".

Article identifies exceptional glucose reliance among squamous cell carcinomas (SCC)s dictated by hyperactive GLUT1-mediated glucose influx.

Article describes studying aiming to investigate and quantify network activity changes after simulated concussions in vitro and therewith develop a platform for simultaneous and direct observations of morphological and electrophysiological changes in neural networks.

The article looks at antitumor activity using a matched pair of cell lines MDA-MB-231 cells that are estrogen-independent, estrogen receptor negative and MCF-7 cells, a cell line that is estrogen receptor (ER) positive. Those polyethers that contained a O-phenyl unit were able to significantly inhibit the non-estrogen sensitive cell line but were much less effective against the estrogen sensitive cell line; that is, the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 showed better test results for polymers derived from diols containing the O-phenyl moiety than the breast cancer cell line MCF-7, a well-characterized estrogen receptor positive control cell line.

This article examines the use of metal-containing polymers as a novel class of antivirals. Polymers containing platinum and to a lesser extent tin, have repeatedly demonstrated antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo against a variety of cell and tumor types. The mechanisms responsible for the antitumor activity include inducing a delay in cell proliferation and sister chromatid exchanges blocking tumor growth.

Paper describes the Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science (PHAGES) program from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science Education Alliance as implemented at the University of North Texas.

Paper describes research conducted with the goal of expanding the body of information related to mycobacteriophages and the relationship between those viruses and the bacteria that are immune to them.

Paper discusses research which analyzed the genome of Mycobacteriophage ElTiger69, a subcluster A5 phage, to identify stoperator sequences.

Paper discusses a study that examines the effect of music on the recognition of facial expressions, with the goal of providing insight into how the brain processes emotion.

Paper discusses a new method for visualizing microbial community composition, where each sample in a standard two-dimensional map of bacterial diversity is projected as a density map onto this grid, so that different figures have similar layouts and differences can be visually assessed.

Paper contains an analysis of the characteristics of the mycobacteriophage CharlieBrwn.

Paper explores the question of whether differing education provided to a science major and non-science major university students affect their awareness of antibacterial resistance.

Paper describes a study exploring bacteriophages and antibiotics as a potential treatment for tuberculosis.

Paper examines the geography and consequences of food insecurity in Denton, TX.

Paper explores a possible correlation between recent increases in medical technology and the cost of health insurance.

Paper discusses study examining awareness and opinions of environmental issues among students at the University of North Texas.

Paper discusses factors influencing the lack of adaption of genetic engineering in forestry.

Paper explores how mechanistic learning affects participants’ knowledge and opinions of GMOs, as well as retention of knowledge and opinions.

This article tested the cross-species application of the Affymetrix 600K Chicken SNP array in five species of North American prairie grouse (Centrocercus and Tympanuchus genera). This study study provided evidence for successful cross-species application of the chicken SNP array in grouse which diverged ca. 37 mya from the chicken lineage. As far as the authors are concerned, this is the first reported application of a SNP array in non-passerine birds, and it demonstrates the feasibility of using commercial SNP arrays in research on non-model bird species.

This is a correction of a previously released article. A mistake was found in Figure 2 of the published work. The names of the cell types, “mesophyll cell” and “bundle sheath” were erroneously interchanged.

This article proposes that the integration of these signals is mediated through pulses of gene expression that are coordinated through out the plant in a systemic manner by the ROS/Ca⁺² waves.

This article uses full-length 16S rRNA gene alignments from the SILVA database to simulate the PCR products of the combined variable regions.

This article presents a combination of computational and experimental approaches to develop gene regulatory networks for lignin formation in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), which has been selected as a biofuel crop in the United States.
