Article discusses IslandCafe, a proposed method for genomic island detection.

Article studying the effect of MS222 on hemostasis in Zebrafish. The authors performed various assays and find that Hct values, the amount of blood collected, bleeding, and coagulation differ significantly between anesthetized and nonanesthetized fish. These results suggest that blood collected after MS222 anesthesia of zebrafish has altered hemostasis.

Article measuring blood parameters in the left aortae and atria of crocodilians. The findings do not support the hypothesis that a R–L shunt serves to deliver CO2 for the gastrointestinal system after feeding in crocodilians.

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.

This article reports the complete genome sequences of 44 phages infecting Arthrobacter sp. strain ATCC 21022.

This article investigates the effects of chronic developmental hypoxia on cardiac mitochondrial function in embryonic and juvenile American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis).

This article uses a 3D conceptual farmework of 'critical windows' to examine whether the morphometry of Artemia franciscana is altered by salinity exposure during certain key periods of development.

This article reports the application of single-molecule real-time sequencing for determining the entire genome structure of the cyanotroph Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIMB 11764.

This article involves mapping the probability of occurrence that the disease vector exists in the environment, mapping the incidence of Lyme disease in the human population and examining the spatial concordance between the probability map and incidence map.

This article studies the novel mutant allele hsi2-4, isolated in a genetic screen to identify Arabidopsis mutants with consitutively elevated expression of a glutathione S-transferase F8:luciferase reporter gene in Arabidopsis.

Article on oleanolic acid and its synthetic derivatives for the prevention and therapy of cancer with preclinical and clinical evidence.

Article on the targeted abrogation of diverse signal transduction cascades by emodin for the treatment of inflammatory disorders and cancer.

Article on emodin inhibiting growth and inducing apoptosis in an orthotopic hepatocellular carcinoma model by blocking activation of STAT3.

Article discussing the digital equivalence of biological neural AND-gate, OR-gate and MIN-gate.

This review article summarizes recent studies that have exploited the compatible interaction between Arabidopsis and the green peach aphid (GPA) to understand the molecular and physiological mechanisms utilized by plants to control aphid infestation, as well as genes and mechanisms that contribute to susceptibility.

Article on ursolic acid in cancer prevention and treatment and molecular targets, pharmacokinetics and clinical studies.

This article reports on the development and comparison of two maps of Texas related to Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

Article investigates basic cardiovascular physiology in the Red Junglefowl, the broiler, and the White Leghorn breeds at 90% of incubation. The authors aimed to identify breed-specific features of arterial blood pressure and heart rate as well as the physiological mechanisms regulating them. They concluded that selection for rapid growth shifts cardiovascular regulatory plasticity to emphasize mechanisms that modulate pressure, and that selection for egg-laying capacity emphasizes mechanisms that modulate heart rate.

This article is in response to an authors' reply to 'Use of prior odds for missing persons identifications.' This response is to the reply by Alex Biedermann, Franco Taroni, and Pierre Margot.

Article on parasite presence in the critically endangered Darwin's fox (Pseudalopex fulvipes) in Chile. Parasites found include species and genera reported for the first time in Darwin's fox.

This article explores the upper lethal temperature for Bobwhite eggs. Results find that thermal tolerances of Northern Bobwhite embryos are high, indicating an adaptation to the naturally occurring temperature extremes in the Bobwhite's environment. However, the results also indicate that high temperatures could have plausibly contributed to the population decline observed in the Bobwhite's semi-arid range.

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.

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