The evolution and genetics of vector competence in mosquito disease vectors
, 2013 Vector competence is a complex characteristic which governs an insect's ability to acquire, support the development and transmit a parasite from one host to another. It influences variation in disease transmission among mosquito populations, hence affecting disease epidemiology.

Mapping Hsp104 interactions using cross‐linking mass spectrometry
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study examines how cross‐linking mass spectrometry can be utilized to analyze ATP‐induced conformational changes in Hsp104 and its interactions with substrates. We developed an analytical pipeline to distinguish between intra‐ and inter‐subunit contacts within the hexameric homo‐oligomer and discovered contacts between Hsp104 and a selected ...

An Efficient Sufficient Dimension Reduction Method for Identifying Genetic Variants of Clinical Significance [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Fast and cheaper next generation sequencing technologies will generate unprecedentedly massive and highly-dimensional genomic and epigenomic variation data. In the near future, a routine part of medical record will include the sequenced genomes. A fundamental question is how to efficiently extract genomic and epigenomic variants of clinical utility ...

Alkane biosynthesis gene expression and its increased production in recombinant cyanobacteria
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The transcription and mRNA structures of the alkane biosynthesis genes ado/aar were analysed in the representative cyanobacteria PCC 6803 and SK1‐2‐1, which produce C17H36 and C15H32, respectively. PCC 6803 transconjugants carrying these genes showed a 1.8‐ to 2.3‐fold increase in C17H36 production.

Rickettsia Species: Genetic Variability, Vectors, and Rickettsiosis—A Review
PathogensRickettsiae are an interesting group of bacteria comprising a large number of obligate intracellular species. The circulation of these bacteria in the environment depends on the presence of vectors (blood-sucking invertebrates) and their hosts.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.T2DM is characterized by peripheral blood insulin resistance and progressive pancreatic β‐cell dysfunction. Here, we showed that AQP7, the only aquaglyceroporin protein, regulates autophagy and apoptosis in pancreatic β‐cells. We propose the existence of a positive feedback loop between MAPK signaling and AQP7 that regulates autophagy and apoptosis in ...

Depolarization induced by subwavelength metal hole arrays [PDF]
arXiv, 2003 We present a symmetry-based theory of the depolarization induced by subwavelength metal hole arrays. We derive the Mueller matrices of hole arrays with various symmetries (in particular square and hexagonal) when illuminated by a finite-diameter (e.g. gaussian) beam.
