a variational approach to niche construction [PDF]

, 2018
In evolutionary biology, niche construction is sometimes described as a genuine evolutionary process whereby organisms, through their activities and regulatory mechanisms, modify their environment such as to steer their own evolutionary trajectory, and ...

Transcriptional network analysis of PTEN‐protein‐deficient prostate tumors reveals robust stromal reprogramming and signs of senescent paracrine communication

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...

Population status and impact of climate change on the distribution of vulnerable multipurpose plant Hippophae rhamnoides ssp. turkestanica for conservation in Trans-Himalaya, India

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
The populations of globally significant species in the Himalaya are invariably shrinking due to multiple forms of human manipulation. Over the decades, various species’ natural habitats have been influenced by changing climate patterns, and the trends ...

Phylogenetic patterns of diversification across ecological niches in the African tree genus Guibourtia [PDF]

, 2018
Adaptive evolution is thought to be a major driver of organism diversification but the link between phenotypic traits and environmental niche remains little documented in tropical trees.

Tumor mutational burden as a determinant of metastatic dissemination patterns

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study performed a comprehensive analysis of genomic data to elucidate whether metastasis in certain organs share genetic characteristics regardless of cancer type. No robust mutational patterns were identified across different metastatic locations and cancer types.
