Lithium Chloride (LiCl) toxicity, mode of action and cellular responses have been the subject
of active investigations over the past decades. In yeast, LiCl treatment is reported to reduce …

Heavy metal and metalloid contaminations are among the most concerning types of pollutant
in the environment. Consequently, it is important to investigate the molecular mechanisms …

Despite the similarity in fundamental goals of translation initiation between different domains
of life, it is one of the most phylogenetically diverse steps of the central dogma of molecular …

While the fundamental goals of translation initiation are the same for all cells, it is the most
phylogenetically diverse step within translation. Until recently, there has been no evidence of …

Living cells are complex biological systems with large networks of interactions between
different macromolecules. A focus of systems biology is to study the dynamics of the living cells …

Heavy metal and metalloid pollutants in our environment are among the most concerning
types of contaminations. Major chronic diseases in humans such as renal and cardiovascular …

36 Heavy metal and metalloid contaminations are among the most concerning types of 37
pollutant in the environment. Consequently, it is important to investigate the molecular 38 …

Abstract Systems biology, a diverse and complex field, relies heavily on functional genomics
and high-throughput methods to understand the intricacy of cellular and molecular …

Canonical cap-dependent translation initiation requires a large number of protein factors that
act in a stepwise assembly process. In contrast, internal ribosomal entry sites (IRESs) are …
