Stem cells can reside in a state of reversible growth arrest, or quiescence, for prolonged
periods of time. Although quiescence has long been viewed as a dormant, low-activity state …

Fungi contribute extensively to a wide range of ecosystem processes, including
decomposition of organic carbon, deposition of recalcitrant carbon, and transformations of …

Bacterial root endophytes reside in a vast number of plant species as part of their root
microbiome, with some being shown to positively influence plant growth. Endophyte …

Apart from water availability, low temperature is the most important environmental factor
limiting the productivity and geographical distribution of plants across the world. To cope …

Microplastic ingestion in invertebrates reduces somatic and reproductive growth. This could
be caused by energy reserves being detracted from growth processes and redistributed to …

The study of the microbial ecology of drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) has
traditionally been based on culturing organisms from bulk water samples. The development …

We have analyzed the translational status of each mRNA in rapidly growing Saccharomyces
cerevisiae. mRNAs were separated by velocity sedimentation on a sucrose gradient, and 14 …

In contrast to the aberrant control of proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis and lifespan, the
cellular mechanisms that cause local invasion and metastasis of tumour cells are still poorly …

Memory and synaptic plasticity exhibit distinct temporal phases, with long-lasting forms
distinguished by their dependence on macromolecular synthesis. Prevailing models for the …

Low temperature is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting the productivity and the
geographical distribution of many important crops. To gain a better understanding of chilling …
