Intertwined trade-offs coordinate Drosophila midgut mitosis vs. endoreplication and host defense vs. dysplasia
(2019)Inflammatory signaling supports host defense against infection, not only through immune cells, but also via regeneration of damaged tissue. Heightened regeneration, nevertheless, predisposes for all types of cancer and ...

Intestinal Stem Cells: A Decade of Intensive Research in Drosophila and the Road Ahead
(2017)Since the molecular characterization of Drosophila midgut progenitors in 2006, a few hundred articles studying fly intestinal stem cells have already been published. There was a relative lag phase in creating new knowledge ...

An intrinsically disordered proteins community for ELIXIR
(2019)Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are now recognised as major determinants in cellular regulation. This white paper presents a roadmap for future e-infrastructure developments ...

Invasive lionfish in the Mediterranean: Low public awareness yet high stakeholder concerns
(2019)A lionfish invasion in the Western Atlantic has been one of the most ecologically harmful fish invasions to date. Experience there has shown that its management is most effective when the public and stakeholders are involved. ...

Investigation of the status of the enigmatic White-chested Tinkerbird Pogoniulus makawai using molecular analysis of the type specimen
(2018)Following the discovery of a uniquely plumaged Pogoniulus tinkerbird in Cryptosepalum forest in northwest Zambia in 1964 and its subsequent description in 1965 as a distinct species, White-chested Tinkerbird Pogoniulus ...

Involvement of host DNA gyrase in growth of bacteriophage T5
(1986)Bacteriophage T5 did not grow at the nonpermissive temperature of 42°C in Escherichia coli carrying a temperature-sensitive mutation in gyrB [gyrB(Ts)], but it did grow in gyrA(Ts) mutants at 42°C. These findings indicate ...

Involvement of skeletal muscle gene regulatory network in susceptibility to wound infection following trauma
(2007)Despite recent advances in our understanding the pathophysiology of trauma, the basis of the predisposition of trauma patients to infection remains unclear. A Drosophila melanogaster/Pseudomonas aeruginosa injury and ...

Article
Island biogeography is not a single-variable discipline: The small island effect debate
(2012)In some island systems, an 'anomalous' feature of species richness on smaller islands, in comparison with larger ones, has been observed. This has been described as the small island effect (SIE). The precise meaning of the ...

Article
The island rule is not valid in terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea)
(2017)The island rule posits that small animals grow larger on islands, whereas large-bodied ones are expected to dwarf, but remains largely unexplored in invertebrates. We tested the rule at an inter-specific level on terrestrial ...

Article
Island species richness increases with habitat diversity
(2009)Species richness is commonly thought to increase with habitat diversity. However, a recent theoretical model aiming to unify niche and island biogeography theories predicted a hump-shaped relationship between richness and ...

Article
An isolate of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 originally classified as subtype I represents a complex mosaic comprising three different group M subtypes (A, G, and I)
(1998)Full-length reference clones and sequences are currently available for eight human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) group M subtypes (A through H), but none have been reported for subtypes I and J, which have only ...

Isolation of isoflavones from soy-based fermentations of the erythromycin-producing bacterium Saccharopolyspora erythraea
(1997)A search for an abundant and economical source of isoflavones, particularly genistein, led to the discovery that the erythromycin-producing organism Saccharopolyspora erythraea also produces this promising new cancer-prevention ...

Article
Isopod distribution and climate change
(2018)The unique properties of terrestrial isopods regarding responses to limiting factors such as drought and temperature have led to interesting distributional patterns along climatic and other environmental gradients at both ...

Katanin-like protein Katnal2 is required for ciliogenesis and brain development in Xenopus embryos
(2018)Microtubule remodeling is critical for cellular and developmental processes underlying morphogenetic changes and for the formation of many subcellular structures. Katanins are conserved microtubule severing enzymes that ...

KIF1Bβ transports dendritically localized mRNPs in neurons and is recruited to synapses in an activity-dependent manner
(2013)KIF1Bβ is a kinesin-like, microtubule-based molecular motor protein involved in anterograde axonal vesicular transport in vertebrate and invertebrate neurons. Certain KIF1Bβ isoforms have been implicated in different forms ...

KIF2β, a new kinesin superfamily protein in non-neuronal cells, is associated with lysosomes and may be implicated in their centrifugal translocation
(1998)Lysosomes concentrate juxtanuclearly in the region around the microtubule-organizing center by interaction with microtubules. Different experimental and physiological conditions can induce these organelles to move to the ...
