The paradox of cooperation among selfish cancer cells
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 It is traditionally assumed that during cancer development, tumor cells abort their initially cooperative behavior (i.e., cheat) in favor of evolutionary strategies designed solely to enhance their own fitness (i.e., a “selfish” life style) at the ...

Negative frequency dependent selection unites ecology and evolution
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 From genes to communities, understanding how diversity is maintained remains a fundamental question in biology. One challenging to identify, yet potentially ubiquitous, mechanism for the maintenance of diversity is negative frequency dependent selection (

Breeding system study in sunnhemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) A stepping stone in crop improvement
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2020 Sunnhemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) belonging to the family Fabaceae is having wide range of industrial utilization as fibre crop, fodder crop and green manure. Pollination is the key mutualism between two kingdoms of organisms.

The Fungal Aroma Gene ATF1 Promotes Dispersal of Yeast Cells through Insect Vectors
Cell Reports, 2014 Yeast cells produce various volatile metabolites that are key contributors to the pleasing fruity and flowery aroma of fermented beverages. Several of these fruity metabolites, including isoamyl acetate and ethyl acetate, are produced by a dedicated ...

Humanin vitrofertilisation and developmental biology: a mutually influential history [PDF]
Development, 2019 ABSTRACTThis article describes the origins and development of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and how it was influenced by, and influenced, basic research in developmental biology. It describes the technical and social challenges that confronted the pioneers in this field of study, and the considerable progress that has been made since those early days ...

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

The importance of being persistent: The first true resident gut symbiont in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2018 In the animal kingdom, nutritional mutualism is a perpetual and intimate dialogue carried out between the host and its associated gut community members. This dialogue affects many aspects of the host's development and physiology. Some constituents of the

A novel independence test for somatic alterations in cancer shows that biology drives mutual exclusivity but chance explains co-occurrence [PDF]
Genome Biology, 2016 AbstractJust like recurrent somatic alterations characterize cancer genes, mutually exclusive or co-occurring alterations across genes suggest functional interactions. Identifying such patterns in large cancer studies thus helps the discovery of unknown interactions. Many studies use Fisher’s exact test or simple permutation procedures for this purpose.

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2012 Floral visitor species are often assumed to act either mutualistically towards plants (as pollinators) or to exploit them (as nectar-robbers or as nectar or pollen thieves).
