Horizontal gene transfer in fungi [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2011 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is frequently observed in prokaryotes and until recently was assumed to be of limited importance to eukaryotes. However, there is an increasing body of evidence to suggest that HGT is an important mechanism in eukaryotic genome evolution, particularly in unicellular organisms.

A Heparin‐Functionalized Scaffold with HB‐EGF Immobilization for Tissue Engineering
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.In this study, a heparin‐functionalized scaffold is designed for bio‐mimicking growth factors reservoir function of extracellular matrix. Due to the presence of heparin‐binding domain, heparin‐binding epidermal growth factor‐like growth factor (HB‐EGF) is effectively and spatially captured by heparin‐functionalized scaffold.
