Reproductive isolation grows on trees.
Despite rapid advances in the complementary fields of speciation genetics and molecular phylogenetics, little attention has been devoted to understanding how genetic changes associated with reproductive isolation accumulate across clades of species. We argue that comparative analyses of reproductive isolation QTL (quantitative trait loci) can generate unique insights into the underlying mechani...
متن کاملEvidence grows for high-field MRI’s value in prostate cancer
The new treatments for prostate cancer require precise localization of disease, but routinely used imaging techniques are not sensitive or specific enough for accurate staging. Gray-scale transrectal ultrasound has a sensitivity of 30% to 50% and specificity of 77% to 90% for local staging and tumor localization, and 1.5T MRI has a joint sensitivity and specificity of 71% to 74% for conventiona...
متن کاملHeat shock proteins and cancer therapy: The trail grows hotter!
The physiological properties of the heat shock response were initially studied over three decades ago in Drosophila based on the observation that it had protective functions against teratogenic agents and heat induced animal death. While initially believed to be unique to flies, it was rapidly observed to be universal response common to all living organisms. Early mammalian studies (reviewed in...
متن کاملEnterococcus faecalis grows on ascorbic acid.
We show that Enterococcus faecalis can utilize ascorbate for fermentative growth. In chemically defined media, growth yield was limited by the supply of amino acids, and the cells showed a much higher demand for amino acids than when they were grown on glucose.
متن کاملRealistic rodents? Debate grows over new mouse models of cancer.
Both the orthotopic and transgenic camps can muster strong theoretical arguments for their respective models. But for all their faults, subcutaneous xenografts remain the standard for cancer drug screening in the pharmaceutical industry. These models are relatively easy to make and simple to use, since tumor growth on the mouse fl ank can be measured with just a pair of calipers. The U.S. Food ...
