Zinc Treatment Reverses and anti-Zn-Regulated miRs Suppress Esophageal Carcinomas In Vivo [PDF]
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a deadly disease with few prevention or treatment options. ESCC development in humans and rodents is associated with Zn deficiency (ZD), inflammation, and overexpression of oncogenic microRNAs: miR-31 and miR ...

Soft-tissue evidence for homeothermy and crypsis in a Jurassic ichthyosaur [PDF]
Ichthyosaurs are extinct marine reptiles that display a notable external similarity to modern toothed whales. Here we show that this resemblance is more than skin deep.

Ancient steroids establish the Ediacaran fossil Dickinsonia as one of the earliest animals [PDF]
The enigmatic Ediacara biota (571 million to 541 million years ago) represents the first macroscopic complex organisms in the geological record and may hold the key to our understanding of the origin of animals.
