These functions are analogous to that of the nematode let-7 in promoting cell-cycle exit of hypodermal cells during the L4–adult transition.

This important study explores the power of computational methods to predict lifespan-extending small molecules, demonstrating that while these methods significantly increase hit rates, experimental ...

Cells navigating in complex 3D microenvironments frequently encounter narrow spaces that physically challenge migration. While in vitro studies identified nuclear stiffness as a key rate-limiting ...

Thickening of the cortical cell walls, in reaction to the bacterial colonization of epidermal or hypodermal cells, or cortical intercellular spaces, suggested that local defence reactions of the plant ...

Chagas disease is an endemic zoonosis caused by a protozoan agent called Trypanosoma cruzi. It is mainly transmitted by a hematophagous vector, and less frequently by blood transfusion, transplacental ...

The seed coat is the outer shell of each mature seed. Its numerous functions include preserving the integrity of seed parts, protecting the embryo from mechanical damage, diseases and pest attacks, ...
