Tuning the immune ecosystem to treat cancer
Reference #1 Abstract References and Notes eLetters (0) Information & Authors Metrics & Citations Check Access References Figures Tables Media Share This article has 0 eLetter . Abstract Whether the immune system recognizes and eliminates cancer was unclear until the 1950s, when immunization of mice with tumor cells generated protective immunity against new tumors (1, 2).

How to Design a Hummingbird Garden: Best Plants and Expert Tips
A broad-tailed hummingbird perches on a wire trellis. These fast fliers have long, thin, curved bills suited to sipping nectar from tubular flowers. Credit: Hanna Bradburn/USFWS/Public Domain Simply put, hummingbirds are amazing. Their wings flap up to 70 times per second. Their hearts can beat more than 1,200 times per minute when they fly. When I started gardening, hummingbirds were not on my mind.

Suppression of PP2A-B56α drives EMT in EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer
|
Abstract Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, and ~50% of these patients present with metastatic disease at diagnosis. Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is an important initiating step in the metastatic cascade that allows cells to acquire the migratory and invasive phenotypes necessary for dissemination.

A new two-gene system of sex determination in a Salicaceae
Keywords sex chromosomes sex-determining region centromeres XY system unisexual flower development haplotype-resolved genome Introduction The genetic bases of angiosperm sex-determining systems are currently understood in barely two dozen species (Figure 1A), yet angiosperms comprise between 871 and 5,000 independent origins of dioecy.1,2 With this sparse sampling, generalizations are risky, because sex determination of dioecious flowering plants may involve many genes, given that male or...
Ancient allopolyploidy and specific subgenomic evolution drove the radiation of poplars and willows - Nature Communications
Abstract Allopolyploidy involves the fusion of genomes from different lineages through hybridization and chromosome doubling. However, detecting early allopolyploidy events and understanding the specific subgenomic evolution that contributes to the origin of adaptive innovations for species radiation can be challenging. Here, we present genomes representing all three subfamilies of Salicaceae, a woody model clade, and collect epigenetic and transcriptomic samples.
Budgeting Tips for Students
Surviving on a limited budget has always been challenging for students, but rising costs have worsened the situation. Managing your finances carefully is more important than ever. Table of Contents Toggle Location Budgeting begins before even applying to universities. If you are going to be based in London, then the overall cost of living will be much higher than elsewhere. Some universities are more generous with bursaries and grants than others.
Growing Potted Citrus Trees in the Home and Garden
When I was in high school, my mom and I went plant shopping and came across several lemon trees at the garden center. Living in Wisconsin, the idea of growing citrus trees seemed far-fetched, but seeing them in the nursery inspired me to take on the unique challenge of growing lemons in a container. Of course, it took some trial and error to understand the best way to care for that lemon tree, and I'm still learning today. Why grow potted citrus?
Holistic Gardening Creates a Space That Supports Wildlife
What is your ideal garden? Perhaps you're thinking of beautiful flowers, inviting paths and insects eating the plants. Yes, you read that right. While it sounds odd, insects are integral to holistic gardening, a gardening method that uses native plants to enhance our local ecosystems. As natives become more popular, gardeners are digging deeper into how these plants help their local ecosystems. What is holistic gardening?
Garden Shrubs to Plant Instead of Boxwood
What shrub would you recommend for structure in the garden? Some of us might suggest boxwood (Buxus), and for good reason. These popular evergreens have been cultivated for thousands of years, beginning with the Egyptians and continuing into the 21st century. However, for more than a decade now a fungal disease called boxwood blight has been spreading across the United States, causing the loss of many boxwood plants and forcing gardeners to look for alternatives to use in the landscape.
The Navajo Sandstone of Southern Uta" by Matthew Olson and Dr. Greg Carling
Keywords groundwater recharge, Navajo Sandstone, southern Utah, water College Physical and Mathematical Sciences Department Geological Sciences Abstract Southern Utah is world renowned for its beautiful canyons and red rock features. The Navajo Sandstone, an Early Jurassic formation created by 2000 feet of petrified sand dunes, is one of the primary features of this unique landscape.
Perennials That Deer Avoid in the Garden
No plant is 100-percent deer resistant, but deer generally avoid plants with certain features, like fragrant or fuzzy foliage. Of course, your local deer population will have its own preferences, but here are some perennials that I've grown with little to no problems in my Wisconsin garden: BLEEDING HEARTS Bleeding hearts (Lamprocapnos spectabilis; USDA Zones 3–9) may be old-fashioned, but they're a great choice if you have deer problems.
Perennials to Grow in Gardens with Dry Shade
Dry shade can feel like a gardener's nightmare. After all, you don't have enough sunlight for plentiful blooms, and the dry soil makes it hard for plants to get a toehold. Happily, though, there are some perennials that can succeed in dry shade. Ground covers are typically the easiest perennials to grow in the toughest of these spots, but you can expand your palette if the site offers a little moisture and sunlight.
Long-Blooming Perennials Provide Months of Garden Color
Perennials are a staple of the garden, providing colorful blooms that draw our eyes to various parts of the landscape. Unfortunately, these plants often present a problem. The flowers that captivate us quickly fade into nothing more than a shriveled lump of petals. It's hard to imagine a garden without perennials, but this drawback often steers people away from these beautiful plants in favor of annuals, which may bloom longer but come with their own set of downsides.
The Best Garden Plants With Chartreuse Foliage
Green comes in many forms, from dark and subtle to bright and vibrant. Chartreuse is far from subtle; a combination of green and yellow, it can look electric. To some people, leaves of this hue look anemic, but for many of us the color adds another element of beauty and texture to the garden. Chartreuse makes a beautiful combination with other plants and allows us to expand our color palette.

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the pathologic outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with Yttrium-90 radiation segmentectomy using glass microspheres prior to liver transplantation and explore parameters associated with pathologic necrosis. Materials and Methods A single-institution retrospective analysis of HCC patients who received radiation segmentectomy prior to liver transplantation from November 2016 to May 2020 was performed.
Epstein-Barr Virus Episome Physically Interacts with Active Regions of the Host Genome in Lymphoblastoid Cells
Virus-Cell Interactions Luopin Wang, Jun Laing, Bingyu Yan, Hufeng Zhou, Liangru Ke, Chong Wang, Yohei Narita, Zonghao Zhang, Matthew R. Olson, Behdad Afzali, Bo Zhao, Majid Kazemian Richard M. Longnecker, Editor DOI: 10.1128/JVI.01390-20 ABSTRACT The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) episome is known to interact with the three-dimensional structure of the human genome in infected cells. However, the exact locations of these interactions and their potential functional consequences remain unclear.
Evidences for a role of two Y-specific genes in sex determination in Populus deltoides
Abstract Almost all plants in the genus Populus are dioecious (i.e. trees are either male or female), but it is unknown whether dioecy evolved in a common ancestor or independently in different subgenera. Here, we sequence the small peritelomeric X- and Y-linked regions of P. deltoides chromosome XIX. Two genes are present only in the Y-linked region.

Without a Given Meaning God Doesn't Matter
Man has from ever had this incredible mental appetite to complicate his world to the point where he finds himself lost in his own mazes. Existence or nonexistence of god is one of such themes in life that makes obvious our exaggerated dwelling in matters that per se may not matter one bit. Ultimately, without our presence on earth nothing would really have any significance, because there would be no one to give it one.
