Stress responses of the sea cucumber Holothuria forskali during aquaculture handling and transportation (2016)
Journal Article
Tonn, N., Novais, S. C., Silva, C. S. E., Morais, H. A., Correia, J. P. S., & Lemos, M. F. L. (2016). Stress responses of the sea cucumber Holothuria forskali during aquaculture handling and transportation. Marine Biology Research, 12(9), 948-957. https://doi.org/10.1080/17451000.2016.1218030

Animal welfare during handling and transportation to aquaculture facilities or public aquaria is commonly estimated by addressing injury and mortality levels. Although these procedures have been optimized for different species, data on individual spe...

Anticancer RuII and RhIII Piano-Stool Complexes that are Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors (2016)
Journal Article
Cross, J., Blower, T., Gallagher, N., Gill, J., Rockley, K., & Walton, J. (2016). Anticancer RuII and RhIII Piano-Stool Complexes that are Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors. ChemPlusChem, 81(12), 1276-1280. https://doi.org/10.1002/cplu.201600413

The first examples of RuII and RhIII piano-stool complex histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are presented. The novel complexes have antiproliferative activity against H460 non-small-cell lung carcinoma cells that is comparable to the clinically us...

A novel function for the MAP kinase SMA-5 in intestinal tube stability (2016)
Journal Article
Geisler, F., Gerhardus, H., Carberry, K., Davis, W., Jorgensen, E., Richardson, C., …Leube, R. E. (2016). A novel function for the MAP kinase SMA-5 in intestinal tube stability. Molecular Biology of the Cell, 27(24), 3855-3868. https://doi.org/10.1091/mbc.e16-02-0099

Intermediate filaments are major cytoskeletal components whose assembly into complex networks and isotype-specific functions are still largely unknown. Caenorhabditis elegans provides an excellent model system to study intermediate filament organizat... Read More about A novel function for the MAP kinase SMA-5 in intestinal tube stability.

Biogeochemistry of “pristine” freshwater stream and lake systems in the western Canadian Arctic (2016)
Journal Article
Dean, J., Billett, M., Baxter, R., Dinsmore, K., Lessels, J., Street, L., …Wookey, P. (2016). Biogeochemistry of “pristine” freshwater stream and lake systems in the western Canadian Arctic. Biogeochemistry, 130(3), 191-213. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10533-016-0252-2

Climate change poses a substantial threat to the stability of the Arctic terrestrial carbon (C) pool as warmer air temperatures thaw permafrost and deepen the seasonally-thawed active layer of soils and sediments. Enhanced water flow through this lay... Read More about Biogeochemistry of “pristine” freshwater stream and lake systems in the western Canadian Arctic.

Class III HD-ZIPs govern vascular cell fate: an HD view on patterning and differentiation (2016)
Journal Article
Ramachandran, P., Carlsbecker, A., & Etchells, J. (2017). Class III HD-ZIPs govern vascular cell fate: an HD view on patterning and differentiation. Journal of Experimental Botany, 68(1), 55-69. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erw370

Plant vasculature is required for the transport of water and solutes throughout the plant body. It is constituted of xylem, specialized for transport of water, and phloem, that transports photosynthates. These two differentiated tissues are specified...

Organization of olfactory centres in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae (2016)
Journal Article
Riabinina, O., Task, D., Marr, E., Lin, C.-C., Alford, R., O'Brochta, D., & Potter, C. (2016). Organization of olfactory centres in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae. Nature Communications, 7(1), Article 13010. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms13010

Mosquitoes are vectors for multiple infectious human diseases and use a variety of sensory cues (olfactory, temperature, humidity and visual) to locate a human host. A comprehensive understanding of the circuitry underlying sensory signalling in the... Read More about Organization of olfactory centres in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae.

Biophysical dissection of schistosome septins: Insights into oligomerization and membrane binding (2016)
Journal Article
Zeraik, A., Staykova, M., Fontes, M., Nemuraitė, I., Quinlan, R., Araújo, A., & DeMarco, R. (2016). Biophysical dissection of schistosome septins: Insights into oligomerization and membrane binding. Biochimie, 131, 96-105. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biochi.2016.09.014

Septins are GTP-binding proteins that are highly conserved among eukaryotes and which are usually membrane-associated. They have been linked to several critical cellular functions such as exocytosis and ciliogenesis, but little mechanistic detail is...

Transcriptional Regulation of Arabidopsis Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 Coordinates Cell Type Proliferation and Differentiation (2016)
Journal Article
de Lucas, M., Pu, L., Turco, G. M., Gaudinier, A., Marao, A. K., Hiroshima, H., …Brady, S. M. (2016). Transcriptional Regulation of Arabidopsis Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 Coordinates Cell Type Proliferation and Differentiation. The Plant Cell, 28(10), 2616-2631. https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.15.00744

Spatiotemporal regulation of transcription is fine-tuned at multiple levels, including chromatin compaction. Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) catalyzes the trimethylation of Histone 3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3), which is the hallmark of a repressive...
