Taxonomic novelties and new records of Fennoscandian crustose lichens
MycoKeys, 2017 We present taxonomic, distributional and ecological notes on Fennoscandian crustose lichens and lichenicolous fungi, based on new collections as well as revision of herbarium material. Two new combinations are proposed: Frutidella furfuracea comb.

Low-cost anti-mycobacterial drug discovery using engineered E. coli
Nature Communications, 2022 Whole-cell screening for Mycobacterium tuberculosis inhibitors is complicated by the pathogen’s slow growth and biocontainment requirements. Here the authors develop engineered E.

A Simple Model for the Evolution of Evolution [PDF]
Journal of Biological Systems, 1997 A simple model of macroevolution is proposed exhibiting both the property of punctuated equilibrium and the dynamics of potentialities for different species to evolve towards increasingly higher complexity. It is based on the phenomenon of fractal evolution which has been shown to constitute a fundamental property of nonlinear discretized systems with

New England Faculty and College Students Differ in Their Views about Evolution, Creationism, Intelligent Design, and Religiosity [PDF]
, 2010 Public acceptance of evolution in Northeastern U.S. is the highest nationwide, only 59%. Here, we compare perspectives about evolution, creationism, intelligent design (ID), and religiosity between highly educated New England faculty (n = 244; 90% Ph.D ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

PMEL is involved in snake colour pattern transition from blotches to stripes
Nature CommunicationsCorn snakes are emerging models for animal colouration studies. Here, we focus on the Terrazzo morph, whose skin pattern is characterized by stripes rather than blotches. Using genome mapping, we discover a disruptive mutation in the coding region of the

Gauss-Bonnet Cosmology Unifying Late and Early-time Acceleration Eras with Intermediate Eras
, 2016 In this paper we demonstrate that with vacuum $F(G)$ gravity it is possible to describe the unification of late and early-time acceleration eras with the radiation and matter domination era.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Sex-biased gene expression is repeatedly masculinized in asexual females
Nature Communications, 2019 Evolution of optimal gene expression in females is expected to be constrained by sexually-antagonistic selection on males. Here, Parker and colleagues show that gene expression has in fact become masculinized in female stick insects across five ...
