Cold spell en route delays spring arrival and decreases apparent survival in ...
Abstract Background Adjusting the timing of annual events to gradual changes in environmental conditions is necessary for population viability. However, adaptations to weather... -
Effect of temperature on the Bulinus globosus — Schistosoma haematobium system
Abstract Background Given that increase in temperature may alter host-parasite relationships, the anticipated rise in temperature due to global warming might change transmission... -
Rapamycin promotes endothelial–mesenchymal transition during stress-induced p...
Abstract Background Rapamycin is known to be effective in suppressing senescence and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Therefore, it is highly expected to... -
Human-like NSG mouse glycoproteins sialylation pattern changes the phenotype ...
Abstract Background The use of immunodeficient mice transplanted with human hematopoietic stem cells is an accepted approach to study human-specific infectious diseases such as... -
Horizontal gene transfer is not a hallmark of the human genome
Abstract Crisp et al. recently reported that 145 human genes have been horizontally transferred from distant species. Here, I re-analyze those genes listed by Crisp et al. as... -
Production of human pro-relaxin H2 in the yeast Pichia pastoris
Abstract Background Initially known as the reproductive hormone, relaxin was shown to possess other therapeutically useful properties that include extracellular matrix... -
Medication transcription errors in hospitalized patient settings: a consensua...
Abstract Background Medication transcription errors (MTEs) are frequent in hospitalized patient settings. Definitions and scenarios that represent potential MTEs in the... -
Ketamine-induced apoptosis in the mouse cerebral cortex follows similar chara...
Abstract The effects of general anesthetics on inducing neuronal apoptosis during early brain development are well-documented. However, since physiological apoptosis also occurs... -
High-Quality draft genome sequence of the Lotus spp. microsymbiont Mesorhizob...
Abstract Mesorhizobium loti strain CJ3Sym was isolated in 1998 following transfer of the integrative and conjugative element ICEMlSymR7A, also known as the R7A symbiosis island,... -
Progression of the smoking epidemic in high-income regions and its effects on...
Abstract Background Of all lifestyle behaviours, smoking caused the most deaths in the last century. Because of the time lag between the act of smoking and dying from smoking,... -
Functional crosstalk between mTORC1/p70S6K pathway and heterochromatin organi...
Abstract Background Stem cell senescence has been proposed as one of the major drivers of aging, and MSC senescence contributes to aging-related diseases. Activation of mTORC1... -
Architecture of divergent flagellar promoters controlled by CtrA in Rhodobact...
Abstract Background Rhodobacter sphaeroides has two sets of flagellar genes, fla1 and fla2, that are responsible for the synthesis of two different flagellar structures. The... -

Correction to: DNA copy number evolution in Drosophila cell lines
Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported the following errors. -
Intraflagellar transport proteins are involved in thrombocyte filopodia forma...
Intraflagellar transport (IFT) proteins are vital for the genesis and maintenance of cilia. Our identification of ift122 transcripts in zebrafish thrombocytes that lack primary... -
New inducible promoter for gene expression and synthetic biology in Yarrowia ...
Abstract Background The oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is increasingly used as alternative cell factory for the production of recombinant proteins. At present, several... -
A CLCA regulatory protein present in the chemosensory cilia of olfactory sens...
Abstract Background CLCA is a family of metalloproteases that regulate Ca2+-activated Cl− fluxes in epithelial tissues. In HEK293 cells, CLCA1 promotes membrane expression of an... -
Origin and diversification of the plasminogen activation system among chordates
Abstract Background The plasminogen (PLG) activation system is composed by a series of serine proteases, inhibitors and several binding proteins, which together control the... -
Wnt signal transduction pathways: modules, development and evolution
Abstract Background Wnt signal transduction pathway (Wnt STP) is a crucial intracellular pathway mainly due to its participation in important biological processes, functions,... -
Polyamines in the life of Arabidopsis: profiling the expression of S-adenosyl...
Abstract Background Arabidopsis has 5 paralogs of the S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (SAMDC) gene. Neither their specific role in development nor the role of...
