Microbes support enhanced nitrogen requirements of coral holobionts in a high CO 2 environment

Nils Rädecker, Gabriela Hannah Holligan Perna

Ocean acidification is posing a threat to calcifying organisms due to the increased energy requirements of calcification under high CO2 conditions. The ability of scleractinian corals to cope with future ocean conditions will thus depend on their ability t ...

Characterization of cancer stem cell subpopulations from patient-derived xenografts of advanced prostate cancer

Marina Bice Manuela Menna, Markus Germann

Androgen-deprivation therapy is the standard treatment for prostate cancer. Despite the initial response, a fraction of cases manifest progression to castration-resistant prostate cancer. PCa recurrence is possibly due to androgen-independent cancer stem c ...

Bile acid-FXR alpha pathways regulate male sexual maturation in mice

Kristina Schoonjans

The bile acid receptor Farnesol-X-Receptor alpha (FRX alpha) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. FRX alpha is expressed in the interstitial compartment of the adult testes, which contain the Leydig cells. In adult, short term treatment (12 hou ...

No Scope for Social Modulation of Steroid Levels in a Year-Round Territorial Damselfish

Katarina Damjanovic

Both latitude and mating system have been proposed to shape relationships between steroid hormone levels and social behavior. Recently it has been postulated that species with long lasting non-seasonal territorial behavior have low androgen responsiveness. ...

VEGFR-3 Neutralization Inhibits Ovarian Lymphangiogenesis, Follicle Maturation, and Murine Pregnancy

Didier Trono, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Joseph Rutkowski, Seung Tae Lee, Miriella Carmela Pasquier, Jong Eun Ihm, Vivianne Greenwood

Lymphatic vessels surround follicles within the ovary, but their roles in folliculogenesis and pregnancy, as well as the necessity of Lymphangiogenesis in follicle maturation and health, are undefined. We used systemic delivery of mF4-31C1, a specific anta ...

How elevated pCO2 modifies total and metabolically active bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of two perennial grasses grown under field conditions

François Gillet

The response of total (DNA-based analysis) and active (RNA-based analysis) bacterial communities to a pCO2 increase under field conditions was assessed using two perennial grasses: the nitrophilic Lolium perenne and the oligonitrophilic Molinia coerulea. P ...

Identification of molecular apocrine breast tumours by microarray analysis

Cathrin Brisken, Darlene Goldstein, Maryse Fiche

Previous microarray studies on breast cancer identified multiple tumour classes, of which the most prominent, named luminal and basal, differ in expression of the oestrogen receptor alpha gene (ER). We report here the identification of a group of breast tu ...

Sterols and gene expression: control of affluence

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

Intracellular and extracellular cholesterol levels are tightly maintained within a narrow concentration range by an intricate transcriptional control mechanism. Excess cholesterol can be converted into oxysterols, signaling molecules, which modulate the ac ...
