Expression of Integrin Alpha10 Is Induced in Malignant Melanoma by Ann-Kathrin Wenke, Christian Kjellman, Evy Lundgren-Akerlund, Christian Uhlmann, Nikolas K. Haass, Meenhard Herlyn, Anja K. Bosserhoff

“…Proliferation assays and colony forming assays revealed no differences comparing antisense integrin alpha10 cell clones with control and wild type melanoma cells, respectively. However, antisense integrin alpha10 cell clones and Mel Im cells treated with an inhibitory antibody against integrin alpha10 showed a reduced migratory potential.…”

Targeted correction of megabase-scale CNTN6 duplication in induced pluripotent stem cells and impacts on gene expression by Maria Gridina, Polina Orlova, Oleg Serov

“…Additionally, the expression from the CNTN6 duplicated allele was markedly lower compared to the wild-type allele. Here, we first introduce a system for correcting megabase-scale duplications in induced pluripotent stem cells and secondly analyze the impact of this correction on CNTN6 gene expression. …”

Mechanism of Gene Amplification via Yeast Autonomously Replicating Sequences by Shelly Sehgal, Sanjana Kaul, M. K. Dhar

“…The gene amplification assays showed that plasmid bearing APS from yeast and human beings led to enhanced protein concentration as compared to the wild type. Both the in silico and in vitro analyses were pointed out at the strong bending potential of these APS. …”

“Fierce and Free, or Caged and Cowed”: Interspecies Oppression and Survival in Lucy Ellmann’s Ducks, Newburyport by Elisa Pesce

“…A moody and troubled teenager, Stacy single-handedly saves her family from a gun attack, following which the narrator thinks that her daughter’s courage was inspired by “some kind of rapport” (Ellmann 998) that she feels with the recently captured lioness. In light of the wild creature’s function of foil for both the narrator and Stacy (De Bruyn 274-79), I propose that Ellmann presents interspecies articulations as a harbinger of hope in a cultural context in which the girl is nevertheless constantly forced to navigate the tensions between the aspects of her connection to the animal world that make her fierce and free and those that work to keep her—and symbolically all women, minority groups, and nature—caged and cowed.…”

Impaired Muscle Regeneration in Ob/ob and Db/db Mice by Mai-Huong Nguyen, Ming Cheng, Timothy J. Koh

“…Muscle regeneration was delayed in ob/ob and db/db mice, but not in a less severe model of insulin resistance – feeding a high-fat diet to wild-type mice. Angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and myoblast accumulation were also impaired in ob/ob and db/db mice, but not the high-fat diet mice. …”

transcriptome sequencing and gene expression profiling with/without B-chromosome plants of by Doori Park, Jong-Hwa Kim, Nam-Soo Kim

“…Supernumerary B chromosomes were found in Lilium amabile (2n = 2x = 24), an endemic Korean lily that grows in the wild throughout the Korean Peninsula. The extra B chromosomes do not affect the host-plant morphology; therefore, whole transcriptome analysis was performed in 0B and 1B plants to identify differentially expressed genes. …”

Représentations de la vieillesse et orientation professionnelle by Hélène Geurts, Marie-Claire Haelewyck

“…However, the peripheral areas of the representation would show a more negative view of aging, characterized by losses with handicapping socio-economic consequences, which are wild widespread concerns in our societies. In conclusion, the low orientation towards gerontological professions seems therefore not linked to exclusively negative representations of advancing age, but would also refer to a lack of skills, legitimacy perceived by young people looking for landmarks and recognition. …”

UPDATING THE INTRASPECIFIC CLASSIFICATION OF CULTIVATED FLAX (<i>LINUM USITATISSIMUM </i> L.) USING METHODS OF CLASSICAL GENETICS by S. N. Kutuzova, I. G. Chukhina

“…The proposed classification system of the species Linum usitatissimum L. is based on the study of morphological features and the results of analyzing hybrids from diallelic crosses among all supposed flax taxa including primitive forms and the wild species L. angustifolium Huds. Genetic similarity between taxa was judged by their morphological affinity, crossability both among themselves and with L. angustifolium as a supposed ancestor of cultivated flax, and viability of Fi reported earlier (Kutuzova, 20ll). …”
