Tanshinone IIA inhibits proliferation and activates apoptosis in C4-1 cervical carcinoma cells in vitro

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2019
Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) is a natural product that has been identified to have anti-proliferative properties against cervical cancer. The study was designed to investigate the anti-tumor effects of Tan IIA at different concentrations on the proliferation

Under the cover of darkness: Foraging behaviour increases on cloudy, new moon nights in a pelagic seabird

Ibis, EarlyView.
While many visual predators feed exclusively during the day, others exploit foraging opportunities at night, although the efficiency with which they do so is strongly influenced by ambient light levels. We investigated the influence of variation in nocturnal light on the foraging behaviour of a small pelagic seabird, the European Storm‐petrel ...

Mechanistic Characterization of the HDV Genomic Ribozyme:  A Mutant of the C41 Motif Provides Insight into the Positioning and Thermodynamic Linkage of Metal Ions and Protons^†

, 2016
Binding of two Mg2+ and two H+ ions influences the self-cleavage activity of the genomic HDV ribozyme. The positioning of these four ligands and their thermodynamic linkage are not fully resolved.

Demand Shocks, Export Diversification, and Firm Performance During the Great Trade Collapse

Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the impact of external demand shocks from the 2008 to 2009 Great Trade Collapse on the performance of Chinese exporters and examines how export diversification mitigates these effects. Using Chinese Customs data merged with financial data from all listed Chinese firms, we construct firm‐specific demand shocks based on pre ...

Divergent roles of ent‐kaurene oxidase paralogs in rice momilactone biosynthesis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Rice contains a five‐gene tandem array of genes encoding members of the ent‐kaurene oxidase (KO) family, with OsKOL4 and OsKOL5 playing divergent roles in momilactone metabolism, but both acting in the production of antifungal and antibacterial phytoalexins, which are important for disease resistance.

Bioimage management and analysis in Galaxy: Tools, workflows, training, and community practices

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Image analysis in the life sciences is constrained by fragmented software ecosystems, heterogeneous data formats, and limited reproducibility. These barriers hinder the reuse of image analysis methods and the sustainability of tools. In this article, we describe how the Galaxy platform enables FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and ...
