- 1From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Ales Pecinka1,2 , Wei Fang3,1 , Marc Rehmsmeier4,1 , Avraham A Levy5 and Ortrun Mittelsten Scheid1 Correction The authors noted that three values in Table 1 need corrections [1]. The MRF for...
- 2From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Males and females differ in many ways and might present different opportunities and challenges to their parasites. In the same way that parasites adapt to the most common host type, they may adapt to the...
- 3From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae, is the major arthropod pest of commercial olive production, causing extensive damage to olive crops worldwide. Current control techniques rely on spraying of chemical...
- 4From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10) Peer-ReviewedAuthors: Arthur D Lander (corresponding author) [1]; Judith Kimble [2]; Hans Clevers [3]; Elaine Fuchs [4]; Didier Montarras [5]; Margaret Buckingham [5]; Anne L Calof [6]; Andreas Trumpp [7,8]; Thordur Oskarsson [9]...
- 5From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAlthough RNA interference (RNAi) is known to play an important part in defense against viruses of invertebrates, its contribution to mammalian anti-viral defense has been a matter of dispute. This is surprising because...
- 6From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Gregory A Petsko1 Before I built a wall I'd ask to know What I was walling in or walling out - Robert Frost, 'Mending Wall' In rural New England, as in much of the rest of the world, people mark...
- 7From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedMost if not all animals sense temperature using specialized thermosensory neurons. Genetic studies in simple organisms have been used to identify gene products required for detecting temperature changes or for mediating...
- 8From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10) Peer-ReviewedBackground During nerve growth, cytoplasmic vesicles add new membrane preferentially to the growth cone located at the distal tip of extending axons. Growth cone membrane is also retrieved locally, and asymmetric...
- 9From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10) Peer-ReviewedBackground In the mid 20.sup.th .sup.century, Ernst Mayr and Theodosius Dobzhansky championed the significance of circular overlaps or ring species as the perfect demonstration of speciation, yet in the over 50 years...
- 10From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The retina of craniates/vertebrates has been proposed to derive from a photoreceptor prosencephalic territory in ancestral chordates, but the evolutionary origin of the different cell types making the...
- 11From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) proteins are the central regulators of apoptosis. The two bcl-2 genes in Drosophila modulate the response to stress-induced cell death, but not developmental cell death. Because...
- 12From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10) Peer-ReviewedOften considered an 'aging' hormone due to its role in accelerating such developmental processes as ripening, senescence, and abscission, the plant hormone ethylene also regulates many aspects of growth and development...
- 13From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Computational sequence analysis, that is, prediction of local sequence properties, homologs, spatial structure and function from the sequence of a protein, offers an efficient way to obtain needed...
- 14From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe dramatic ingression of tissue sheets that accompanies many morphogenetic processes, most notably gastrulation, has been largely attributed to contractile circum-apical actomyosin 'purse-strings' in the infolding...
- 15From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedMost neurodegenerative diseases involve the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the nervous system. Impairment of protein degradation pathways such as autophagy is emerging as a consistent and transversal pathological...
- 16From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedLogic-derived modeling has been used to map biological networks and to study arbitrary functional interactions, and fine-grained kinetic modeling can accurately predict the detailed behavior of well-characterized...
- 17From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Microsporidia is one of the taxa that have experienced the most dramatic taxonomic reclassifications. Once thought to be among the earliest diverging eukaryotes, the fungal nature of this group of...
- 18From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Robert M May1 Extinctions have happened ever since life began - is there anything different about man-made extinctions? Looked at in the large, the history of life on Earth is one of continuous change,...
- 19From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Kathryn R Elmer1 , Topi K Lehtonen1,2 , Andreas F Kautt1 , Chris Harrod3,4 and Axel Meyer1 The authors noted that the coding and interpretation of Figure five b and five c need corrections [1]. The lines...
- 20From: BMC Biology. (Vol. 10) Peer-ReviewedThe up-dated species level phylogeny for the carnivores using a supertree approach provides new insights into the evolutionary origin and relationships of carnivores. While the gain in biological knowledge is...
