Weedy adaptation in Setaria spp.: IX. Effects of salinity, temperature, light and seed dormancy on Setaria faberi seed germination [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
Life in salty habitats is a function of tolerance to those chemicals at all critical phases of a plant's life history. The ability to withstand salt as an established plant may require different mechanisms and plant traits than those needed to germinate in salty soils. Seeds establishing themselves in high salt content may respond differently depending

MECHANICS OF DORMANCY IN SEEDS

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, 1916
Dormancy in plants is common in three organs, seeds, spores, and buds. In this paper I shall limit myself entirely to the discussion of dormancy in seeds for three reasons: far more critical and analytical work has been done on dormancy in seeds than upon the other two organs; obscure correlation effects do not play as prominent a part as in buds; and ...

Calpain‐2‐Mediated Endothelial Focal Adhesion Disruption in Thoracic Aortic Dissection

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The elevated expression of Capn2 in endothelial cells activates focal adhesion signaling by cleaving Talin1 and assembling Itgav, which compromises the integrity of the endothelial barrier and induces vascular inflammation. Inhibition of calpain through both pharmacological and transgenic approaches has effectively suppressed the onset and progression ...

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With Cisplatin Up‐Regulates GSDMD to Enhance Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Metastasis Through MMP14‐Mediated EMT Activation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Oral squamous cell carcinoma cells exhibit upregulated expression of GSDMD upon exposure to low‐dose cisplatin chemotherapy, which subsequently interacts with MMP14 through its N‐terminal domain, activating the epithelial‒mesenchymal transition (EMT) process and promoting the lymph node metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

The seed bank coalescent with simultaneous switching [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
We introduce a new Wright-Fisher type model for seed banks incorporating "simultaneous switching", which is motivated by recent work on microbial dormancy. We show that the simultaneous switching mechanism leads to a new jump-diffusion limit for the scaled frequency processes, extending the classical Wright-Fisher and seed bank diffusion limits.

CCDC80 Protects against Aortic Dissection and Rupture by Maintaining the Contractile Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotype

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Aortic dissection (AD) is accompanied by a decrease in CCDC80 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). CCDC80 can interact with JAK2, and VSMC‐specific CCDC80 deficiency accelerates the progression of AD by activating the JAK2/STAT3 pathway involved in regulating the phenotype switching and function of VSMCs.

SNORA74A Drives Self‐Renewal of Liver Cancer Stem Cells and Hepatocarcinogenesis Through Activation of Notch3 Signaling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Liver cancer stem cells (CSCs) account for tumor initiation, heterogeneity and therapy resistance. However, the role of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) in the regulation of liver CSCs remains largely unclear. Here, this work identifies a conserved H/ACA box snoRNA SNORA74A which is highly expressed in liver CSCs.
