Apoptosis gene profiling reveals spatio-temporal regulated expression of the p53/Mdm2 pathway during lens development.
(2009)Evidence is emerging for apoptosis gene expression in the lens during development. Therefore, here we used a filter array to assess expression of 243 apoptosis-related genes in the developing postnatal mouse lens using ... -
Cultivating antimicrobial resistance: how intensive agriculture ploughs the way for antibiotic resistance
(2023)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing threat to public health, global food security and animal welfare. Despite efforts in antibiotic stewardship, AMR continues to rise worldwide. Anthropogenic activities, particularly ... -
Ecological selection of siderophore-producing microbial taxa in response to heavy metal contamination
(2018)Some microbial public goods can provide both individual and community-wide benefits, and are open to exploitation by non-producing species. One such example is the production of metaldetoxifying siderophores. Here, we ... -
EXPERIMENTAL STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS INFECTION OF THE MAMMARY GLAND INDUCES REGION-SPECIFIC CHANGES IN INNATE IMMUNE GENE EXPRESSION
(Elsevier, 2011)Staphylococcus aureus is a prolific mastitis-causing bacterium that resides naturally in the environment of the dairy cow. The aim of this study was to profile immune gene expression in tissue from the alveolar, ductal, ... -
In vivo dynamics of the internal fibrous structure in smooth adhesive pads of insects
(2012)Many insects with smooth adhesive pads can rapidly enlarge their contact area by centripetal pulls on the legs, allowing them to cope with sudden mechanical perturbations such as gusts of wind or raindrops. The short time ... -
Neural pathways mediating cross education of motor function.
(2013)Cross education is the process whereby training of one limb gives rise to enhancements in the performance of the opposite, untrained limb. Despite interest in this phenomenon having been sustained for more than a century, ... -
No effect of intraspecific relatedness on public goods cooperation in a complex community
(2018)Many organisms—notably microbes—are embedded within complex communities where cooperative behaviors in the form of excreted public goods can benefit other species. Under such circumstances, intraspecific interactions are ... -
Resource heterogeneity and the evolution of public goods cooperation
(2020)Heterogeneity in resources is a ubiquitous feature of natural landscapes affecting many aspects of biology. However, the effect of environmental heterogeneity on the evolution of cooperation has been less well studied. ... -
Stress causes interspecific facilitation within a compost community
(2021)Ecological theory predicts interactions between species to become more positive under abiotic stress, while competition should prevail in more benign environments. However, experimental tests of this stress gradient ...
