Endangered by Sprawl: How Runaway Development Threatens America's Wildlife [PDF]
, 2005 Estimates the growth of land consumption in metropolitan areas over the next 25 years, investigates locally implemented strategies to protect natural lands from overdevelopment, and offers "smart growth" as an option for reducing suburban ...

The cyclical nature of prepubertal growth
Annals of Human Biology, 1990 We have examined the complete longitudinal height velocity (HV) data of 135 (80 male and 55 female) chromosomally normal children from the Edinburgh Longitudinal Growth Study who were measured six-monthly between age 3 years and the onset of the adolescent growth spurt.

Insights into a long life without cancer: The case of the bowhead whale
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Long‐lived, large‐bodied organisms have evolved powerful anticancer mechanisms that preserve cellular and tissue integrity across extended lifespans. A recent study by Firsanov et al. shows that greater genome stability is a key factor underlying the remarkable longevity and cancer resistance of one such species, the bowhead whale.

Natural Resources, Innovation, and Growth [PDF]
This paper investigates the connection between resource abundance and innovation, as a transmission mechanism that can elucidate part of the resource curse hypothesis; i.e. the observed negative impact of resource wealth on income growth.

Fitness and entropy production in a cell population dynamics with epigenetic phenotype switching [PDF]
, 2014 Motivated by recent understandings in the stochastic natures of gene expression, biochemical signaling, and spontaneous reversible epigenetic switchings, we study a simple deterministic cell population dynamics in which subpopulations grow with different

Checkpoint blockade and the stem‐like T cell trade‐off
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Stem‐like T cells are key to the success of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) blockade, as they sustain long‐term anti‐tumor response by continuously generating effector CD8+ T cells. However, how these cells are maintained in cancer is not fully understood. Hor et al.

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2013 In this article, we consider nonlinear elliptic fourth-order equations with the principal part satisfying a strengthened coercivity condition, and a lower-order term having a "natural" growth with respect to the derivatives of the unknown function ...

Plant Development: Slowing Root Growth Naturally [PDF]
Current Biology, 2004 What determines organ size? A screen for plant strains showing natural variation in root length has identified a novel gene that modulates root growth rate by controlling cell division and elongation at the root tip.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...
