Article on the harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja) and how high levels of genetic diversity and differentiation can fuel conservation programs.

Article on the crystal structure of thrombin in complex with s-variegin and insights of a novel mechanism of inhibition and design of tunable thrombin inhibitors.

This article discusses flavonoids and isoflavonoids from plant biology to agriculture to neuroscience.

This article examines three congeneric lizards from the southeastern United States (Plestiodon fasciatus, P. inexpectatus, and P. laticeps) and hypothesizes that interspecific differences in metabolic temperature sensitivity locally segregates them across their total range.

Article on biosynthesis and genetic engineering of proanthocyanidins and (iso)flavonoids.

Article on comparative plant genomics resources at plant GDB.

Article on thymoquinone inhibiting tumor growth and inducing apoptosis in a breast cancer xenograft mouse model and the role of p38 MAPK and ROS.

Article on interpreting genomic data via entropic dissection.

This article reports the first physiological 2Fe-2S cluster acceptor for both NEET proteins as human Anamorsin (also known as cytokine induced apoptosis inhibitor-1; CIAPIN-1).

This article examining the correlation between pulmonary compliance, lung volume, and lymph flux rates in anurans. The findings of this article suggest that lymph mobilization capacity may explain some of the variation in pulmonary compliance and lung volume in anurans.

This article identifies misconceptions in microbiology held by undergraduate students upon entry into an introductory, general microbiology course.

This article describes the creation and validation of a new microbiology concept inventory using the American Society for Microbiology Curriculum Guidelines.

This article presents herpetofaunal observations from Limnos and Agios Efstratios, two Asia Minor continental shelf islands in the Aegean Sea. Comprehensive surveys over 88 days in total on Limnos, over a period of nine years, consisted mainly of visual encounter surveys and road cruised observations, revealed the presence of three species of amphibians and twelve species of reptiles, including two new species records for the island (Malpolon insignitus and Pelobates syriacus). The results of these surveys provide a clearer understanding of the extant herpetofauna on Limnos and Agios Efstratios and offer discussion on natural history, possible erroneous historical records and preliminary ecological understanding of the herpetofaunal assemblages residing on these islands.

Article on the transcriptional regulator AlgR controlling cyanide production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Article showing that knockdown Arabidopsis plants with suppressed expression of the key water-water cycle enzyme, thylakoid-attached copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (KD-SOD), are suppressed in their growth and development. This article provides e genetic evidence for the importance of the water-water cycle in protecting the photosynthetic apparatus of higher plants from photooxidative damage.

Article isolating a gene encoding cytosolic bate peroxidase (ApxI) from pea (Pisum sativum L.) and determining its nucleotide sequence.

Article on members of the genus Azotobacter, which are characterized by their ability to form cysts.

Article on distinct cinnamoyl CoA reductases involved in parallel routes to lignin in Medicago truncatula.

Article describes the results of the One Thousand Plant Transcriptomes Initiative's efforts to sequence the vegetative transcriptomes of 1,124 species that span the diversity of plants in a broad sense (Archaeplastida), including green plants (Viridiplantae), glaucophytes (Glaucophyta) and red algae (Rhodophyta).

Article is a study that aims to identify actionable clinical and culture characteristics of IVF treatment that influence blastocyst developmental rate, with the goal of acquiring optimal success.

This article investigates the role of the left aorta (LAo) in embryonic American alligators by surgically occluding the LAo and measuring oxygen consumption and, in addition, measured hemodynamic responses to hypoxia in embryonic alligators.

Article reviews the common dysregulation of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinases (PI3K)/Akt/mTOR pathway in gastric cancer (GC) and the various types of single or dual pathway inhibitors under development that might have a superior role in GC treatment.

Article describes how postmenopausal women are severely affected by recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI). The authors perform shotgun metagenomics and advanced culture on urine from a controlled cohort of postmenopausal women to identify urogenital microbiome compositional and function changes linked to rUTI susceptibility.
