Transcriptional and post-transcriptional control of adipocyte differentiation by Jumonji domain-containing protein 6
(
Oxford University Press
, 2015 , Article)
Jumonji domain-containing protein 6 (JMJD6) is a nuclear protein involved in histone modification, transcription and RNA processing. Although JMJD6 is crucial for tissue development, the link between its molecular functions ...
Born small, die young: Intrinsic, size-selective mortality in marine larval fish
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2015 , Article)
Mortality during the early stages is a major cause of the natural variations in the size and recruitment strength of marine fish populations. In this study, the relation between the size-at-hatch and early survival was ...
Impacts of urbanization on the distribution of heavy metals in soils along the Huangpu River, the drinking water source for Shanghai
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2015 , Article)
We investigated the horizontal and vertical distribution of heavy metals (Hg, Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd, As, Ni, and Cr) in soils in the water source protection zone for Shanghai to study the origins of these metals, their connections ...
Biological Activities and Chemical Composition of Methanolic Extracts of Selected Autochthonous Microalgae Strains from the Red Sea
(
MDPI AG
, 2015 , Article)
Four lipid-rich microalgal species from the Red Sea belonging to three different genera (Nannochloris, Picochlorum and Desmochloris), previously isolated as novel biodiesel feedstocks, were bioprospected for high-value, ...
Opposing calcium-dependent signalling pathways control skeletal muscle differentiation by regulating a chromatin remodelling enzyme
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2015 , Article)
Calcium signalling is important for differentiation-dependent gene expression, but is also involved in other cellular functions. Therefore, mechanisms must exist to distinguish calcium signalling relevant to differentiation. ...
Coffee and its waste repel gravid Aedes albopictus females and inhibit the development of their embryos
(
BioMed Central
, 2015 , Article)
Background
Dengue is a prevalent arboviral disease and the development of insecticide resistance among its vectors impedes endeavors to control it. Coffee is drunk by millions of people daily worldwide, which is associated ...
Identification of phenolic compounds by HPLC/MS and in vitro evaluation of the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Ceratonia siliqua leaves extracts
(
Academic Jounals
, 2015 , Article)
Ceratonia siliqua is a typical plant of the Mediterranean area, which is mainly used as animal and human food and in folk medicine for treating some diseases such as antidiarrheal and diuretic. The present study was planned ...
Cyanomatrix and Cyanofilm
(
OMICS International
, 2015 , Article)
Cyanobacteria are diverse in their habitats, structure, and metabolism that can grow as unicellular or long filaments and secreting high molecular mass polymers (extracellular polymer substances, EPS), which can either be ...
Rhus coriaria induces senescence and autophagic cell death in breast cancer cells through a mechanism involving p38 and ERK1/2 activation
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2015 , Article)
Here, we investigated the anticancer effect of Rhus coriaria on three breast cancer cell lines. We demonstrated that Rhus coriaria ethanolic extract (RCE) inhibits the proliferation of these cell lines in a time- and ...
Natural Enemies of the Frankliniella Complex Species (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Ataulfo Mango Agroecosystems
(
Oxford University Press
, 2015 , Article)
A field survey was conducted in Ataulfo mango (Mangifera indica L.) orchards in Chiapas, Mexico, with the objective of determining the natural enemies of the Frankliniella complex species (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). Seven ...
