Functional Trait Strategies of Trees in Dry and Wet Tropical Forests Are Similar but Differ in Their Consequences for Succession by Madelon Lohbeck (731258)

“…Species turnover with succession in dry forest largely relates to increasing water availability and in wet forest to decreasing light availability. We hypothesized that while functional trait trade-offs are similar in the two forest systems, the successful plant strategies in these communities will be different, as contrasting filters affect species turnover. …”

Dissecting <em>Phaseolus vulgaris</em> Innate Immune System against <em>Colletotrichum lindemuthianum</em> Infection by Paula Rodrigues Oblessuc (141400)

“…Based on experimental validation of gene expression, we propose that hypersensitive reaction as part of effector-triggered immunity may operate, at least in part, by down-regulating genes, such as <em>FLS2-like</em> and <em>MKK5-like</em>, putative orthologs of the Arabidopsis genes involved in pathogen perception and downstream signaling.…”

Senescence Is More Important in the Natural Lives of Long- Than Short-Lived Mammals by Christopher Turbill (244271)

“…The slope of this relationship (0.353±0.052 s.e.m.), however, indicated that mammals with higher survival rates have a mean life span representing a greater fraction of their potential maximum life span: the ratio of maximum to mean life span decreased significantly from >10 in short-lived to ∼1.5 in long-lived mammal species.…”

Targeted Resequencing of the Pericentromere of Chromosome 2 Linked to Constitutional Delay of Growth and Puberty by Diana L. Cousminer (747917)

“…One gene, <i>DNAH6</i>, harbored 6 protein-altering low-frequency variants (< 6% in the Finnish population) in 10 of the CDGP probands. We sequenced an additional 135 unrelated Finnish CDGP subjects and utilized the unique Sequencing Initiative Suomi (SISu) population reference exome set to show that while 5 of these variants were present in the CDGP set, they were also present in the Finnish population at similar frequencies. …”

Experimental verification of model predictions. by Mphatso Kalemera (6476033)

Presentation_1.pdf by Behzad Bidadi (4953235)

“…<p>Neutropenia secondary to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients can be life-threatening and there are no biomarkers available to predict the risk of drug-induced neutropenia in those patients. We previously performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for neutropenia events in women with breast cancer who were treated with 5-fluorouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide and recruited to the SUCCESS-A trial. …”

DataSheet_1_Increased Expression of Mitochondrial UQCRC1 in Pancreatic Cancer Impairs Antitumor Immunity of Natural Killer Cells via Elevating Extracellular ATP.docx by Hui Cong (3909211)

“…Such UQCRC1-induced impairment of NK cells was mediated by eATP and its metabolite adenosine via P2Y11R and A_2AR, respectively. Mechanistically, we found the UQCRC1/eATP axis reduced the expression of chemokine CCL5 in cancer cells and altered the balance of activating receptor DNAM-1 and inhibitory receptor CD96 on NK-92MI cells, resulting in decreased chemotaxis and exhausted phenotype of NK-92MI cells. …”
