Guest editorial: mutual relationship between vascular biology and hematology [PDF]
Vascular biology has rapidly progressed in a molecular level since the identification of growth factors regulating blood vessel formation in the mid-1990s. In contrast to hematology, in which cytokines involved in the development and proliferation of hematopoietic cells (HCs) were first identified and analyzed in the 1980s, vascular biology has a short

Temporal Structure in Cooperative Interactions: What Does the Timing of Exploitation Tell Us about Its Cost? [PDF]
Exploitation in cooperative interactions both within and between species is widespread. Although it is assumed to be costly to be exploited, mechanisms to control exploitation are surprisingly rare, making the persistence of cooperation a fundamental ...

Studying Plant–Rhizobium Mutualism in the Biology Classroom
We present a guided-inquiry biology lesson, using the plant–rhizobium symbiosis as a model system. This system provides a rich environment for developing connections between the big ideas in biology as outlined in the College Board’s new AP Biology Curriculum.

Definition of mutualism in biology
Mutualism, or interspecific cooperation, is the way in which organisms of different species exist in a relationship where each benefits from the activity of the other. Mutualism as the term was first introduced by Pierre Joseph Van Beneden in his 1876 book Animal Parasites and Messmates.

Preservice Biology Teachers’ Scientific Reasoning Skills and Beliefs about Nature of Science: How Do They Develop and Is There a Mutual Relationship during the Development? [PDF]
Scientific reasoning (SR) skills and nature of science (NOS) beliefs represent important characteristics of biology teachers’ professional competence. In particular, teacher education at university is formative for the professionalization of future teachers and is thus the focus of the current study.

Suffering in evolutionary biology and Christian theology: Mutually exclusive notions?
The question of suffering, specifically that experienced by human beings, has been contentious in the discourses of biology and religion. The dilemma, especially in the Christian faith tradition has been to reconcile suffering with the idea of a benevolent deity in whose image humans are believed to have been created.

How Cancer Genomics Drives Cancer Biology: Does Synthetic Lethality Explain Mutually Exclusive Oncogenic Mutations? [PDF]
AbstractLarge-scale analyses of cancer genomes are revealing patterns of mutations that suggest biologically significant ideas about many aspects of cancer, including carcinogenesis, classification, and preventive and therapeutic strategies. Among those patterns is “mutual exclusivity”, a phenomenon observed when two or more mutations that are commonly
