Blood-Detox with Red Blood Cell Microreactors
Red blood cell (RBC)-based delivery systems are emerging as natural biocarriers in a wide range of clinical applications, including blood detoxification.
Be Prepared: Use and Misuse of Sample Preparation Techniques for TEM
Franken et al. present a guideline on how to apply the three most frequently used sample preparation techniques for TEM of soft matter.
Indole: A Multifaceted Regulator of Behavior
In their review in BioEssays, Jeffrey Tomberlin et al. take a closer look at indole and how this molecule influences behavior in a wide variety of organisms.
On Starting A New Experiment
Current Protocols can help to avoid those wasted hours when your experimental method just won’t cooperate.
Putting a Date to the Origin of Animals
In their review in BioEssays, John Cunningham et al. discuss the origin of animals and whether the fossil record can be reconciled with molecular clock estimates.
Fight or die? How prokaryotes deal with infections
In their review in BioEssays, Eugene Koonin and Feng Zhang discuss the different outcomes when prokaryotes are infected by a virus.
How sterile workers still manage to pass on “their” genes and evolve!
In their hypothesis article in BioEssays, Downing et al. present a testable hypothesis as to why sterile worker castes evolve, and continue to evolve, in many social insect orders: a hypothesis with implications for understanding longevity in general.
Obese flies: Why are adipokinetic hormone-deficient flies fat?
The adipokinetic hormone (AKH), an insect analog of the human hormone glucagon, is a central regulator of energy homeostasis and lipid mobilization in insects. Silencing of the AKH-receptor leads to fly obesity.
Active DNA demethylation: A two-step process
Matthias Bochtler et al. discuss the current state of knowledge surrounding active DNA demethylation pathways.
