Promoting microbiology education through the iGEM synthetic biology competition [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2015 Synthetic biology has developed rapidly in the 21st century. It covers a range of scientific disciplines that incorporate principles from engineering to take advantage of and improve biological systems, often applied to specific problems. Methods important in this subject area include the systematic design and testing of biological systems and, here ...

Verification of systems biology research in the age of collaborative competition [PDF]
BMC Proceedings, 2012 Modern society demands greater scrutiny of the potential health risks and benefits of long-term, and sometimes lifelong, exposure to drugs, chemicals, and substances found in consumer products and the environment. Organizations such as companies and academic consortia conduct large multi-year scientific studies that entail the collection and analysis ...

Exploring MYC relevance to cancer biology from the perspective of cell competition [PDF]
Seminars in Cancer Biology, 2019 Cancer has long been regarded and treated as a foreign body appearing by mistake inside a living organism. However, now we know that cancer cells communicate with neighbours, thereby creating modified environments able to support their unusual need for nutrients and space.

The Current Biology Photomicrography Competition [PDF]
Current Biology, 2000 This image of a rat retina is the winning entry in this year’s Current Biology Photomicrography Competition. It was produced by Werner Zuschratter at the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology in Magdeburg, Germany.The retrogradely traced ganglion cells — cell bodies, dendrites and axons — are coloured in yellow.

Cancer Cell Biology: Myc Wins the Competition [PDF]
Current Biology, 2004 During Drosophila development, cells with elevated levels of the Myc oncoprotein grow faster than, and induce cell death in, nearby wild-type cells, suggesting how inappropriate Myc over-expression provides cells with a competitive advantage that can lead to cancer.

Competition in biology: It's a scoop! [PDF]
Nature, 2003 In the highly competitive world of cell and molecular biology, there are no prizes for coming second. But is the pressure to be the first to publish 'hot' results distorting scientific progress? Helen Pearson investigates.

The Field of Cell Competition Comes of Age: Semantics and Technological Synergy
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Stem cells experience many selective pressures which shape their cellular populations, potentially pushing them to skew towards dominance of a few break-through clones. An evolutionarily conserved answer to curb these aberrant selective pressures is cell
