Bacteria adapt to environmental stimuli by adjusting their transcriptomes in a complex manner,
the full potential of which has yet to be established for any individual bacterial species. …

The calcium-based intracellular signalling system is used ubiquitously to couple extracellular
stimuli to their characteristic intracellular responses. It is becoming clear from genomic and …

Endothelial lipase (EL) is a new member of the triglyceride lipase gene family previously
reported to have phospholipase activity. Using radiolabeled lipid substrates, we characterized …

The multiprotein exon junction complex (EJC) is assembled on mRNAs as a consequence
of splicing. EJC core components maintain a stable grip on mRNAs even as the overall EJC …

measures to limit the negative impacts of global warming on the population, the economy and …

A consequence of urban heat islands in summer is an increase in the use of air conditioning
in urbanized areas, which while cooling the insides of buildings, releases waste heat to the …

Objective To describe the spontaneous course, before the introduction of highly active
antiretroviral therapy (HAART), of HIV-1 RNA during the AIDS-free period of the disease. To …

The use of air-conditioning systems is expected to increase as a consequence of global-scale
and urban-scale climate warming. In order to represent future scenarios of urban climate …
