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.

Article describes how, although pennycress, a winter annual, could be grown as a dedicated bioenergy crop, an increase in its seed oil content is required to improve its economic competitiveness. In this work, the authors combined biomass composition with metabolomic and transcriptomic studies of developing embryos from 22 pennycress natural variants to identify targets for oil improvement.

This article investigates global metabolic responses to lignin pathway perturbations in the model grass Brachypodium distachyon using a systems biology approach.

Article assessing range-wide genetic structure and contemporary gene flow in the thorn-tailed rayadito (Aphrastura spinicauda), a passerine bird inhabiting the temperate forests of South America.

This article discusses the use of DNA typing, likelihood ratios, and prior odds for missing persons identifications.

Article indicating directions in which the field of Developmental Physiology might move. It suggests three categories of challenges: demonstrating broad relevance, promoting conceptual advances, and improving experimental approaches.

This article contains an examination of habitat selection by radio-tracked juvenile Slender-billed Parakeets (Enicognathus leptorhynchus) at multiple spatial scales in a fragmented agricultural landscape of southern Chile.

Article discusses the importance of valuing an alternative, ecological, aesthetic and post-modern-exotic hermeneutic in viewing Latin America, and discusses the colonial impression of a "exotic" Latin America.

This article provides a commentary on the article "Feedback stabilizes propagation of synchronous spiking in cortical neural networks" by Moldakarimov, S., Bazhenov, M., and Sejnowski, T.J.

Article integrating ecophysiological information with the development of new high-resolution climatic layers for Antarctica, to better understand how the distribution of P. steinenii may respond to change over the next century under different IPCC climate change scenarios. The authors conclude that the species has the potential to expand its distribution to include parts of the west and east coasts of the Antarctic Peninsula and even coastal ice-free areas in parts of continental Antarctica. The authors also propose P. steinenii as an effective native sentinel and indicator species of climate change in the Antarctic.

Article on the biosynthesis of isoflavonoid phytoalexins and the incorporation of sodium [1,2-(13)C2] acetate into phaseollin and kievitone.

Article on heart rate variability characteristics in sedentary postmenopausal women following six months of exercise training.

This article investigates the long-term effects of developmental hypoxia on mitochondrial function in a species that regularly encounters hypoxia during development. Findings speculate that adjustments might improve mitochondrial hypoxia tolerance, which would be beneficial for turtles during breath-hold diving and overwintering in anoxic environments.

Article reporting that PAK2, a member of the Rho family of GTPase-dependent kinases, regulates isometric tension development and myosin II RLC phosphorylation in saponin permeabilized endothelial monolayers. The results demonstrate that PAK2 can directly phosphorylate MLCK, inhibiting its activity and limiting the development of isometric tension.

This article performs a comparative analysis of the predicted proteomes derived from 10 different sequenced genomes, including budding and fission yeast, worm, fly, mosquito, Arabidopsis, rice, mouse, rat, and human.

Article states that despite remarkable advances in cancer research, cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The author's proposed framework for cancer diagnostics detects cancers and their tissues of origin using a unified model of cancers encompassing 33 cancers represented in The Cancer Genome Atlas. Their model exploits the learned features of different cancers reflected in the respective dysregulated epigenomes, holding a great promise in early cancer detection.

Patent relating to a multinetwork nerve cell assay platform with parallel recording capability.

Article describes how C-lignin is a homopolymer of caffeyl alcohol present in the seed coats of a variety of plant species including vanilla orchid, various cacti, and the ornamental plant Cleome hassleriana. The authors used information from a transcriptomic analysis of developing C. hassleriana seed coats to suggest strategies for engineering C-lignin in a heterologous system, using hairy roots of the model legume Medicago truncatula.

Article on regioselective synthesis of plant (iso)flavone glycosides in Escherichia coli.

Article describing the isolation and genomic characterization of 116 phages that infect Microbacterium spp.

This article is a study that represents the first transcriptome analysis of E+ and E− Texoma tall fescue under freezing and chilling temperatures in the natural field environment.

Article reports observations of two Subarctic North Pacific puffin species in the North Atlantic near the coast of north-west Greenland.

Article on large P body-like RNPs forming in C. elegans oocytes in response to arrested ovulation, heat shock, osmotic stress, and anoxia and regulated by the major sperm protein pathway.

Article on the utilization of cyanide as a nitrogenous substrate by Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIMB 11764 and evidence for multiple pathways of metabolic conversion.
