Article on yeast lipin orthologue Pah1p and its importance for biogenesis of lipid droplets.

This article assesses the potential for basin geology and local limnological conditions to predict stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values of six carbon sources at multiple locations in four Neotropical floodplain ecosystems (Paranaá , Pantanal, Araguaia, and Amazon).

Article reporting the three-dimensional crystal structures of the signal-terminating enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) from Arabidopsis in its apo and ligand-bound forms at 2.1- and 3.2-Å resolutions, respectively.

This article describes findings that demonstrate the affect of diosgenin (DG) on inhibiting the resilient breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) which could provide a benchmark for the development of DG-based therapies in breast cancer treatment.

This article describes a group of five closely related mycobacteriophages--Corndog, Catdawg, Dylan, Firecracker, and YungJamal--designated as Cluster O with long flexible tails but with unusual prolate capsids

Article describes study suggesting that the inhibation of sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) can attenuate ERK1/2 and AKT signaling and reduce growth of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells in vitro and in a xenograft SCID mouse model.

Patent relating to creating transgenic plants.

This article discusses a study to cross-validate temporal, two tympanic devices, and oral devices compared to an ingestible thermistor during exercise in a hot, humid environment.

Article on lignin modification leading to increased nodule numbers in alfalfa.

This article describes a refined method optimized for maize (Zea mays) seedling leaves, which not only provides a simple procedure for obtaining apoplast fluid, but also allows direct calculation of apoplast hydration at the time of harvest for every sample.

Article discussing how NPP-16/Nup50 function and CDK-1 inactivation are associated with anoxia-induced prophase arrest in Caenorhabditis elegans.

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

Article describes a study which examines the conduction system in crocodiles (Alligator mississippiensis), the only ectothermic vertebrates with a full ventricular septum.

This article discusses the effectiveness of utilizing local spatial variations in environmental data to uncover the statistical relationships between West Nile Virus (WNV) risk and environmental factors.

Article on emodin suppressing migration and invasion through the modulation of CXCR4 expression in an orthotopic model of human hepatocellular carcinoma.

Article discusses genomic and coexpression analyses predicting multiple genes involved in triterpene saponin biosynthesis in Medicago truncatula.

This article examines the immunohistochemical expression profile of 18 markers, each representing a putative role in cancer development, in 493 primary colorectal carcinomas using tissue microarrays.

Article on the functional characterization of proanthocyanidin pathway enzymes from tea and their application for metabolic engineering.

Article relates a study describing the development of cultured mahi‐mahi from the zygote stage to adult.

Article discussing using WebGBrowse to visualize genome annotation on GBrowse.

Article explores the ‘membrane pacemaker’ hypothesis which proposes a biochemical explanation for among-species variation in resting metabolism, based on the positive correlation between membrane docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and metabolic rate. The authors tested this hypothesis using a novel model, altricial red-winged blackbird nestlings, predicting that the proportion of DHA in muscle and liver membranes should increase with the increasing metabolic rate of the nestling as it develops endothermy. In support of the membrane pacemaker hypothesis, DHA proportions increased in membranes from pectoralis muscle, muscle mitochondria and liver during post-hatch development. By contrast, elevated dietary DHA had no effect on resting metabolic rate, despite causing significant changes to membrane lipid composition.

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 discusses integrating ecology and environmental ethics.

Poster for the 2014 MidSouth Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Society (MCBIOS) Annual Conference. This poster discusses a comparison of machine learning algorithms for identifying cancer types.
