Ageing is considered as a snowballing phenotype of the accumulation of damaged
dysfunctional or toxic proteins and silent mutations (polymorphisms) that sensitize relevant …

One-third of all protein-coding genes from bacterial genomes cannot be annotated with a
function. Here, to investigate the functions of these genes, we present genome-wide mutant …

Over the last 10 years use of isothermal microcalorimetry in the biological and biomedical
field has been a increasing. Several biomedical applications such as detection and …

Dose-response analysis can be carried out using multi-purpose commercial statistical
software, but except for a few special cases the analysis easily becomes cumbersome as …

Background Plate readers can measure the growth curves of many microbial strains in a
high-throughput fashion. The hundreds of absorbance readings collected simultaneously for …

The study of growth (of cells, organ-isms or populations) is inherent to all biological
disciplines. The fundamental properties of a biological system or the physiological effects of …

Many microorganisms live in communities and depend on metabolites secreted by fellow
community members for survival. Yet our knowledge of interspecies metabolic …

A systematic investigation of growth in nature and society, from tiny organisms to the
trajectories of empires and civilizations. Growth has been both an unspoken and an explicit …

Plant growth is a fundamental ecological process, integrating across scales from physiology
to community dynamics and ecosystem properties. Recent improvements in plant growth …

Background: It has been hypothesized that zirconia might have a reduced bacterial
adhesion compared with titanium; however, results from experimental studies are rather …
