Mechanistic examination of causes for narrow distribution in an endangered shrub: a comparison of its responses to drought stress with a widespread congeneric species [PDF]

, 2016
Although deep rooting is usually considered a drought-tolerant trait, we found that Syringapinnatifolia, a deep rooting and hydrotropic shrub, has a limited distribution in arid areas. To elucidate the mechanisms for its narrow distribution, we conducted

Oil and gas resource potential in the deep-water Canada Basin, Arctic Ocean

, 2018
The Canada Basin is a deep-water basin adjacent to the Arctic continental shelves of northwest Canada and northern Alaska. Perennial ice cover in the Arctic Ocean has historically prevented detailed geologic study of the basin. Recent seismic surveys (2007 to 2011) provide substantial new information on crustal architecture and sediment fill of the ...

Inhibiting stearoyl‐CoA desaturase suppresses bone metastatic prostate cancer by modulating cellular stress, mTOR signaling, and DNA damage response

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.
