Break More Bread: How Plasma Enhances Wheat Germination
A team of researchers from Ireland report on the mechanisms of how atmospheric cold plasma (APC) improves the germination of seeds.
Novel Urine Analysis Technique to Detect Cancer
A team of researchers from China combined AC and SERS technologies to develop a novel method for urinary modified nucleoside detection as a tool for cancer screening.
DNA Nanotechnology Goes Biomedical
The challenges and an outlook on this promising class of DNA hybrid materials are discussed.
Why Should Biologists Become More Like Climate Scientists?
Now that climate scientists can make better projections of climate change, biologists need to project and prevent its impacts on biodiversity.
Writing a Wrong: Coupled RNA Polymerase II Transcription and RNA Quality Control
Processing and maturation of precursor RNA species is coupled to RNA polymerase II transcription. Co‐transcriptional RNA processing helps to ensure efficient and proper capping, splicing, and 3′ end processing of different RNA species to help ensure quality control of the transcriptome.
miR-146a-5p: Expression, Regulation, and Functions in Cancer
Novel findings suggest that miR‐146a‐5p may be useful as a noninvasive biomarker and as a targeted therapeutic in several cancers.
The Tandem Zinc Finger RNA Binding Domain of Members of the Tristetraprolin (TTP) Protein Family
Proteins with similar domain structures and activities have been found throughout eukaryotes, demonstrating that this protein family arose from an ancient ancestor.
Plasma and Pills Together Combat Pancreatic Tumors
Chinese researchers combined a glow‐like helium atmospheric pressure plasma jet with clinical antitumor drug‐Tegafur‐ to treat pancreatic tumor cells in vitro.
New Easy and Safe Method To Assess Brain Death
A team of Chinese and American researchers succesfully used near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for fast and accurate evaluation of brain death.
