This article describes a facile one-step method to synthesize stable collodial gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) loaded with a combination of two anticancer therapeutics, -bleomycin and doxorubicin

This article investigates age-related changes in Ginkgo biloba trees to learn more about the molecular and metabolic mechanisms underlying their longevity. The results revealed that long-lived trees have evolved compensatory mechanisms to maintain a balance between growth and aging processes.

Article discussing the microbial communities in male first catch urine and how these are highly similar to those paired in urethral swab specimens.

This article identifies two chil mutants with a seed colour similar to that of wild-type Arabidopsis, but in sharp contrast to the characteristic transparent testa seed phenotype associated with other known flavonoid pathway genes.

Article discusses the state of the science and existing shortcomings in terrestrial bioaccumulation assessment of neutral organic chemicals.

Article on the serology of aerobic aquatic actinomycetes.

This article examines how chronic hypoxic exposure on adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) affects the phenotype of their offspring.

Article on the metabolic engineering of proanthocyanidins through co-expression of anthocyanidin reductase and the PAP1 MYB transcription factor.

This article suggests that cold acclimation alters cardiac shunting patterns with an increased R-L shunt flow, achieved through reducing systemic resistance and increasing systemic blood flow.

Article accompanying a poster presentation for the 2009 Computational Neuroscience Meeting. This article discusses a theoretical analysis of an alternative CUSUM statistic called CUSUM-slope for detecting signals from background noise in a low signal-to-noise environment.

Article accompanying a poster presentation for the 2009 Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting. This article discusses a theoretical model of emotion processing for optimizing the cost function of discrepancy errors between wants and gets.

Article using preferential solubility of a polymer in supercritical CO2 to develop a new architecture using biocompatible polymers based on porous core-sheath fiber fabrication technique.

Article describing pennycress genome annotation improvements using a combination of long- and short-read transcriptome data obtained from RNA derived from embryos of 22 accessions, in addition to public genome and gene expression information.

Article addresses the differences in evolutionary scenario, leaf anatomy, and especially C4 metabolic flow, C4 transporters, and cell-specific function deduced from recently reported cell-specific transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolic analyses of NAD-dependent malic enzyme (NAD-ME) and NADP-dependent malic enzyme (NADP-ME) subtypes.

This article discusses the isolation of five novel phages, which were used to established the cluster BF, using Streptomyces griseus subsp. griseus strain ATcC 10137 as the host.

This article examines the relationships between spatial patterns of long-term ozone exposure and respiratory illness within Dallas-Fort Worth to better understand impacts on health outcomes.

Article describes study which tested if targeted and persistent changes in steady-state protein expression underlie this hypoxic heart phenotype, using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) proteomics.

Patent relating to engineering lipids in vegetative tissues of plants.

This article is an editorial feature highlighting editor of Plant & Cell Physiology Dr. Ana Paula Alonso. She is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences and serves as the Director of the BioAnalytical Facility at the University of North Texas.

This article pairs a behavioural assay with measurements of relevant intracellular and extracellular acid-base parameters in a coral reef fish exposed to elevated CO₂.

Article on different mechanisms for phytoalexin induction by pathogen and wound signals in Medicago truncatula.

Article on regiospecific hydroxylation of isoflavones by cytochrome P450 81E enzymes from Medicago truncatula.

This article discusses interpolative multidimensional scaling techniques for the identification of clusters in very large sequence sets.

Article experimentally quantifies the metabolic cost of transport in Mediterranean spur-thighed tortoises walking on a treadmill while also quantifying the kinematics of their movement. Results found that tortoises move more efficiently than predicted and presents the first data demonstrating a curvilinear cost of transport over their speed range. The authors conclude that tortoises have an optimum speed at which they move to minimise their metabolic cost of locomotion.
