A Solution Set-Based Entropy Principle for Constitutive Modeling in Mechanics [PDF]
Entropy principles based on thermodynamic consistency requirements are widely used for constitutive modeling in continuum mechanics, providing physical constraints on a priori unknown constitutive functions. The well-known M\"uller-Liu procedure is based on Liu's lemma for linear systems.

Integrated Disease Management, Adaptation and Genomics of Fungal Plant Pathogens in Cropping Systems
Knowledge of the fungal genome and multifaceted evolutionary forces need to be considered together in understanding and managing agricultural plant pathogen adaptation relative to integrated disease management (IDM) strategies. ABSTRACT Crop production systems contribute significantly to maintaining global food security. These systems often involve the

Candida albicans repetitive elements display epigenetic diversity and plasticity [PDF]
Transcriptionally silent heterochromatin is associated with repetitive DNA. It is poorly understood whether and how heterochromatin differs between different organisms and whether its structure can be remodelled in response to environmental signals. Here,

The epigenome of evolving Drosophila neo-sex chromosomes: dosage compensation and heterochromatin formation [PDF]
Drosophila Y chromosomes are composed entirely of silent heterochromatin, while male X chromosomes have highly accessible chromatin and are hypertranscribed due to dosage compensation. Here, we dissect the molecular mechanisms and functional pressures driving heterochromatin formation and dosage compensation of the recently formed neo-sex chromosomes ...

Management of T‐cell malignancies: Bench‐to‐bedside targeting of epigenetic biology
Abstract The peripheral T‐cell lymphomas (PTCL) are the only disease for which four histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have been approved globally as single agents. Although it is not clear why the PTCL exhibit such a vulnerability to these drugs, understanding the biological basis for this activity is essential.

Silencing markers are retained on pericentric heterochromatin during murine primordial germ cell development [PDF]
Background: In the nuclei of most mammalian cells, pericentric heterochromatin is characterized by DNA methylation, histone modifications such as H3K9me3 and H4K20me3, and specific binding proteins ...

Changes in chromatin state in donors subjected to physical stress [PDF]
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate changes in chromatin of human buccal epithelium under the influence of stressing factor - dosed physical activity. Investigations were performed in a group of students (13 men) of age 19-23. Cells were stained on a slide by a 2% orcein solution in 45% acetic acid during 1 h.

GATA Transcription Factors: A Cross‐Road for Erythropoiesis, Neurodevelopment, and Synucleinopathies
ABSTRACT Alpha‐synuclein (α‐syn), a 140 amino acid protein, is abundantly expressed in the central nervous system (CNS) and in the erythrocytes, playing a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies.

Heterochromatin and the molecular mechanisms of 'parent-of-origin' effects in animals. [PDF]
Twenty five years ago it was proposed that conserved components of constitutive heterochromatin assemble heterochromatinlike complexes in euchromatin and this could provide a general mechanism for regulating heritable (cell-to-cell) changes in gene ...

Intrabody-mediated diverting of HP1β to the cytoplasm induces co-aggregation of H3-H4 histones and lamin-B receptor [PDF]
Diverting a protein from its intracellular location is a unique property of intrabodies. To interfere with the intracellular traffic of heterochromatin protein 1β (HP1β) in living cells, we have generated a cytoplasmic targeted anti-HP1β intrabody ...
