The C-terminal extension of human telomerase reverse transcriptase is necessary for high affinity binding to telomeric DNA
Abstract The ribonucleoprotein enzyme telomerase maintains telomeres and is essential for cellular immortality in most cancers. Insight into the telomerase mechanism can be gained from short telomere syndromes, in which mutation of telomerase...

Screening of the ‘Pathogen Box’ identifies an approved pesticide with major anthelmintic activity against the barber's pole worm
Abstract There is a substantial need to develop new medicines against parasitic diseases via public-private partnerships. Based on high throughput phenotypic screens of largely protozoal pathogens and bacteria, the Medicines for Malaria Venture...

Improved Human Erythropoiesis and Platelet Formation in Humanized NSGW41 Mice
Summary Human erythro-megakaryopoiesis does not occur in humanized mouse models, preventing the in vivo analysis of human hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) differentiation into these lineages in a surrogate host. Here we show that stably engrafted...

Dredging effects on selected nutrient concentrations and ecoenzymatic activity in two drainage ditch sediments in the lower Mississippi River Valley
Abstract Agricultural drainage ditches are conduits between production acreage and receiving aquatic systems. Often overlooked for their mitigation capabilities, agricultural drainage ditches provide an important role for nutrient transformation via ...

Selected ethno-medicinal plants from Kenya with in vitro activity against major African livestock pathogens belonging to the “Mycoplasma mycoides cluster”
Abstract Ethnopharmocological relevance Members of ‘Mycoplasma mycoides cluster’ are important ruminant pathogens in Africa. Diseases caused by these Mycoplasma negatively affect the agricultural sector especially in developing...

Species richness influences wine ecosystem function through a dominant species
Abstract Increased species richness does not always cause increased ecosystem function. Instead, richness can influence individual species with positive or negative ecosystem effects. We investigated richness and function in fermenting wine, and...

Effect of electrolytic lesion of the dorsomedial striatum on sexual behaviour and locomotor activity in rats
Abstract Introduction Cortical motor areas are influenced not only by peripheral sensory afferents and prefrontal association areas, but also by the basal ganglia, specifically the striatum. The dorsomedial striatum (DMS) and...

A Generalized Gene-Regulatory Network Model of Stem Cell Differentiation for Predicting Lineage Specifiers
Summary Identification of cell-fate determinants for directing stem cell differentiation remains a challenge. Moreover, little is known about how cell-fate determinants are regulated in functionally important subnetworks in large gene-regulatory...

Placental vascularity and markers of angiogenesis in relation to prenatal growth status in overnourished adolescent ewes
Abstract Introduction Placental vascularity may be important in the development of fetal growth restriction (FGR). The overnourished adolescent ewe is a robust model of the condition, with ∼50% of offspring demonstrating FGR...

Worker lifespan is an adaptive trait during colony establishment in the long-lived ant Lasius niger
Abstract Eusociality has been recognized as a strong driver of lifespan evolution. While queens show extraordinary lifespans of 20years and more, worker lifespan is short and variable. A recent comparative study found that in eusocial species with...
