Representation of Dormant and Active Microbial Dynamics for Ecosystem Modeling [PDF]
PLOS ONE, 2014, 9(2): e89252, 2013 Dormancy is an essential strategy for microorganisms to cope with environmental stress. However, global ecosystem models typically ignore microbial dormancy, resulting in major model uncertainties. To facilitate the consideration of dormancy in these large-scale models, we propose a new microbial physiology component that works for a wide range of ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The NlpC_P60 superfamily of peptidases is recognised by its key role in bacterial cell wall homeostasis. Recently, studies have also described the involvement of NlpC_P60‐like enzymes in bacterial competitive mechanisms and pathogenesis across several lineages.

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

BMC Plant Biology, 2020 Background Although the effect of cold stratification on seed dormancy release has been extensively studied for many species, knowledge of the role of stratifying temperature, soil moisture content and duration of stratification on seed dormancy release ...

Alternating active-dormitive strategy enables overtaking by disadvantaged prey through Parrondo's paradox [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Dormancy is a costly adaptive strategy that is widespread among living organisms inhabiting diverse environments. We explore mathematical models of predator-prey systems, in order to assess the impact of prey dormancy on the competition between two types of prey, a perennially active (PA) and capable of entering dormancy (dormitive).

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

Population genetic models of dormancy [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In the present article, we investigate the effects of dormancy on an abstract population genetic level. We first provide a short review of seed bank models in population genetics, and the role of dormancy for the interplay of evolutionary forces in general, before we discuss two recent paradigmatic models, referring to spontaneous resp.

Microbial virus epidemics in the presence of contact-mediated host dormancy [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We investigate a stochastic individual-based model for the population dynamics of host-virus systems where the microbial hosts may transition into a dormant state upon contact with virions, thus evading infection. Such a contact-mediated defence mechanism was described in Bautista et al (2015) for an archaeal host, while Jackson and Fineran (2019) and ...

, 2007 The term ‘dormancy’ refers to a state of a plant or plantorgan that is characterized by the virtual absence of met-abolic activity and/or a lack of further development andgrowth.Dormancyoccursinseeds,bulbs,tubers,budsandwhole plants. It is an adaptive trait that has evolved byselection for the capacity to survive prolonged unfavour-able environmental ...
