FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Liver‐specific knockout of N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase METTL3 significantly accelerated hepatic tumor initiation under various oncogenic challenges, contrary to the previously reported oncogenic role of METTL3 in liver cancer cell lines or xenograft models. Mechanistically, METTL3 deficiency reduced m6A deposition on Manf transcripts and

Promoting lentil germination and stem growth by plasma activated tap water, demineralized water and liquid fertilizer [PDF]
RSC Adv., 2017,7, 31244-31251, 2017 Tap water, demineralized water and liquid fertilizer have been activated using an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) to investigate their benefits for the germination rate and stem elongation rate of lentils from Puy-en-Velay (France). By plasma-activating tap water, we have obtained germination rates as high as 80% (instead of 30% with tap water).

Functional genomics of seed dormancy in wheat: advances and prospects
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Seed dormancy is a mechanism underlying the inability of viable seeds to germinate under optimal environmental conditions. To achieve rapid and uniform germination, wheat and other cereal crops have been selected against dormancy.

Brain and Behavior, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Stressful life increases the risk of mental and psychological disorders and cognitive deficits. Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone that has been recently discovered in mammalians. ABA is produced in response to stressful stimuli and it can reduce anxiety‐like behaviors and depression and improve cognitive function.

A Cellular Automaton Model for Tumor Dormancy: Emergence of a Proliferative Switch [PDF]
Chen D, Jiao Y, Torquato S (2014) A Cellular Automaton Model for
Tumor Dormancy: Emergence of a Proliferative Switch. PLoS ONE 9(10): e109934, 2014 Malignant cancers that lead to fatal outcomes for patients may remain dormant for very long periods of time. Although individual mechanisms such as cellular dormancy, angiogenic dormancy and immunosurveillance have been proposed, a comprehensive understanding of cancer dormancy and the "switch" from a dormant to a proliferative state still needs to be ...

The value of internal memory for population growth in varying environments [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In varying environments it is beneficial for organisms to utilize available cues to infer the conditions they may encounter and express potentially favorable traits. However, external cues can be unreliable or too costly to use. We consider an alternative strategy where organisms exploit internal sources of information.
