Trans-Amazon Drilling Project (TADP): origins and evolution of the forests, climate, and hydrology of the South American tropics
(2015)
This article presents the scientific rationale for an ambitious ICDP drilling project to continuously sample Late Cretaceous to modern sediment in four different sedimentary basins that transect the equatorial Amazon of ...
Mismatched anti-predator behavioral responses in predator-naïve larval anurans
(2015)
Organisms are adept at altering behaviors to balance the tradeoff between foraging and predation risk in spatially and temporally shifting predator environments. In order to optimize this tradeoff, prey need to be able to ...
Uptake of and resistance to the antibiotic berberine by individual dormant, germinating and outgrowing bacillus spores as monitored by laser tweezers raman spectroscopy
(2015-12-04)
Berberine, an alkaloid originally extracted from the plant Coptis chinensis and other herb
plants, has been used as a pharmacological substance for many years. The therapeutic
effect of berberine has been attributed to ...
Trends in Dengue Cases Imported into the United States from Pan America 2001–2012
(2015)
The objective of this study was to improve risk assessments of travel on dengue (DEN) virus (DENV) distribution. We investigated the
exposure risk of US citizens traveling to DEN-endemic Pan American countries. The number ...
WormGender – Open-Source Software for Automatic Caenorhabditis elegans Sex Ratio Measurement
(2015)
Fast and quantitative analysis of animal phenotypes is one of the major challenges of current biology. Here we report the WormGender open-source software, which is designed for
accurate quantification of sex ratio in ...
Molecular Connections between Cancer Cell Metabolism and the Tumor Microenvironment
(2015)
Cancer cells preferentially utilize glycolysis, instead of oxidative phosphorylation,
for metabolism even in the presence of oxygen. This phenomenon of aerobic glycolysis,
referred to as the “Warburg effect”, commonly ...
eHealth Literacy and Web 2.0 Health Information Seeking Behaviors Among Baby Boomers and Older Adults
(2015-03-17)
Background: Baby boomers and older adults, a subset of the population at high risk for chronic disease, social isolation, and poor health outcomes, are increasingly utilizing the Internet and social media (Web 2.0) to ...
Long Noncoding RNA Expression Signatures of Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma and Their Prognostic Value
(2015)
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been found to play important roles in various cancer types. The elucidation of genome-wide lncRNA expression patterns in metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) could reveal ...
Lack of K-Dependent Oxidative Stress in Cotton Roots Following Coronatine-Induced ROS Accumulation.
(2015)
Coronatine [COR] is a novel type of plant growth regulator with similarities in structure and property to jasmonate. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between increased root vitality induced by ...
Memory of Germinant Stimuli in Bacterial Spores
(2015-11)
Bacterial spores, despite being metabolically dormant, possess the remarkable capacity to detect nutrients and other molecules in their environment through a biochemical sensory apparatus that can trigger spore germination, ...
