Maintaining the health of seafarers is a difficult task during long-term voyages. Little is known about the corresponding changes in the gut microbiome-host interaction. This study recruited 30 seafarers undertaking a 6-month voyage and analyzed their gut microbiota using 16S rRNA gene sequencing...

Abstract:
Cells sense several kinds of stimu...
Background: Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is emerging as a widespread mechanism of gene regulation. The usage of APA sites allows a single gene to encode multiple mRNA transcripts with different 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) lengths. Many disease processes reflect the importance of the regulati...
Pollen germination, along with pollen tube growth, is an essential process for the reproduction of flowering plants. The germinating pollen with tip-growth characteristics provides an ideal model system for the study of cell growth and morphogenesis. As an essential step towards a detailed underst...
We have stimulated an Atlantic salmon cell line, SHK-1, with both type I and type II recombinant salmonid IFNs and analysed the transcriptional response by microarray analysis. Cells were exposed to recombinant IFNs for 6 or 24 h or were left unexposed as controls. RNA was hybridised to a 17k feat...
Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) possess the capacity for spontaneous reprogramming during in vitro culture, while the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood, especially why addition of epidermal growth factor (EGF), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) remarkably enhanced transition efficien...
Lamins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for nuclear mechanical integrity. Though linked to multiple heritable diseases, lamin structure and that of other intermediate filaments remains elusive. We employed cross-linking mass spectrometry to gain structural insights into lamin A dimer a...
