We report the draft genome of the black cottonwood tree, Populus trichocarpa. Integration of
shotgun sequence assembly with genetic mapping enabled chromosome-scale …

Review on the time-dependent recruitment of inflammatory cells and unanswered questions
regarding inflammatory cells in the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke. Inflammation plays …

The establishment of viral persistence generally requires evasion of the host CD8 + T cell
response. Here we describe a form of evasion wherein the CD8 + T cells are fully capable of …

Human utilization of the mulberry–silkworm interaction started at least 5,000 years ago and
greatly influenced world history through the Silk Road. Complementing the silkworm genome …

Blood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption, mediated through matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)
and other mechanisms, is a critical event during ischemic stroke. Tissue plasminogen …

Cross-presentation of antigens is critical for the induction of adaptive immunity against tumor
cells and infectious pathogens. Currently, it is not known how cross-presentation of tumor …

Despite the prevalence of transposable elements in the genomes of higher eukaryotes, what
is virtually unknown is how they amplify to very high copy numbers without killing their host. …

Miniature inverted repeat transposable elements (MITEs) are widespread in eukaryotic
genomes, where they can attain high copy numbers despite a lack of coding capacity. However, …

An active miniature inverted repeat transposable element (MITE), mPing, was discovered by
computer-assisted analysis of rice genome sequence. The mPing element is mobile in rice …

Colon cancer (CC) is the third common neoplasm worldwide, and it is still a big challenge for
exploring new effective medicine for treating CC. Natural product promoting human health …
