Background Adaptation to different ecological environments is thought to drive ecological
speciation. This phenomenon culminates in the radiations of cichlid fishes in the African Great …

Adaptive radiation occurs when species diversify rapidly to occupy an array of ecological
niches. As opportunities for parasite infection and transmission may greatly vary among these …

Differences in habitat and diet between species are often associated with morphological
differences. Habitat and trophic adaptation have therefore been proposed as important drivers …

The remarkable complexity of soil and its importance to a wide range of ecosystem services
presents major challenges to the modeling of soil processes. Although major progress in soil …

Activation of Ras proteins underlies functional decisions in diverse cell types. Two molecules,
RasGRP and SOS, catalyze Ras activation in lymphocytes. Binding of active Ras to SOS' …

This review gives a detailed summary and evaluation of the use of TiO2 doping to improve
the performance of dye sensitized solar cells. Doping has a major effect on the band structure …

Fibroblasts are non-haematopoietic structural cells that define the architecture of organs,
support the homeostasis of tissue-resident cells and have key roles in fibrosis, cancer, …

… , two rounds of bead-beating lysis were necessary to extract DNA and a supplementary
purification step using a microconcentrator was required for successful PCR amplification (Roose…

Enhanced signaling by the small guanosine triphosphatase Ras is common in T cell acute
lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL), but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. We …

Crohn’s disease is a debilitating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can involve the entire
digestive tract. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) encoding a missense variant in …
