Paenibacillus barcinonensis is a soil bacterium bearing a complex set of enzymes for xylan degradation, including several secreted enzymes and Xyn10B, one of the few intracellular xylanases reported to date. The crystal structure of Xyn10B has been determi ...
Hox genes encode transcription factors that play a central role in the specification of regional identities along the anterior to posterior body axis. In the developing mouse embryo, Hox genes from all four genomic clusters are involved in range of develop ...
The Notch pathway is frequently activated in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (T-ALLs). Of the Notch receptors, Notch1 is a recurrent target of gain-of-function mutations and Notch3 is expressed in all T-ALLs, but it is currently unclear how these rece ...
We demonstrate that irradiation may enhance the plasticity in metallic glasses by increasing the free-volume content via micropillar compression experiments on an ion-irradiated bulk metallic glass (BMG). Results show that irradiation decreases the flow st ...
Quantification of short-echo time proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy results in >18 metabolite concentrations (neurochemical profile). Their quantification accuracy depends on the assessment of the contribution of macromolecule (MM) resonances, previou ...
Purpose: To study phenotype-genotype correlation in patients who have retinoma, which is a benign tumor resembling the post irradiation regression pattern of retinoblastoma (RB). ...
In this study, we present a methodology for metabotyping of C. elegans using (1)H high resolution magic angle spinning (HRMAS) whole-organism nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). We demonstrate and characterize the robustness of our metabolic phenotyping meth ...
Reliable information is a crucial factor influencing decision-making, and thus fitness in all animals. A common source of information comes from inadvertent cues produced by the behavior of conspecifics. Here we use a system of experimental evolution with ...
This work deals with the creation of a stochastic algorithm for aa-tRNA competition during translation using an abstraction of the biological model. The major challenges were to manage aa-tRNA specie specific input information in order to deal with eventua ...
Although dispersal is recognized as a key issue in several fields of population biology (such as behavioral ecology population genetics metapopulation dynamics or evolutionary modeling) these disciplines focus on different aspects of the concept and often ...
