Trichothecenes: From Simple to Complex Mycotoxins

As the world's population grows, access to a safe food supply will continue to be a global priority. In recent years, the world has experienced an increase in mycotoxin contamination of grains due to climatic and agronomic changes that encourage fungal growth during cultivation.

Personalized medicine: moving from simple theory to daily practice.

The paradigm of “personalized medicine” has gained broad popularity in the past decade due to the fact that convincing evidence was brought that the concept “one fits all” should be overwhelmed by the so-called patient-tailored approach in health care [1, 2]. Although the term personalized medicine is repeated like a mantra in scientific papers, meetings, media, and even the Internet, its exact...

The origin recognition complex: from simple origins to complex functions.

Eukaryotic DNA replication is an intricate process that requires the coordinate and tightly regulated action of numerous molecular machines. Eukaryotic cells must choose hundreds if not thousands of origins of replication and assemble multiple proteins or protein complexes at these sites. During S phase, these complexes are activated in a reproducible, temporal program to generate twice this nu...
