Florida scrub is a xeric ecosystem associated with the peninsula’s sand ridges, whose
intermittent Pliocene–Pleistocene isolation is considered key to scrub endemism. One
scrub origin hypothesis posits endemics were ...
Oral microbe-host interactions: influence of β-glucans on gene expression of inflammatory cytokines and metabolome profile
(2017-03-07)
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of β-glucan on the expression of inflammatory mediators and metabolomic profile of oral cells [keratinocytes (OBA-9) and fibroblasts (HGF-1) in a dual-chamber ...
Nearshore mixing and nutrient delivery along the western Antarctic Peninsula
(2017-10)
The surface waters of the Southern Ocean play a key role in the global climate and carbon cycles by
promoting growth of some of the world’s largest phytoplankton blooms. Several studies have emphasized the
importance of ...
