MiR-29a targets PTEN. by Guangyao Kong (185282)

“…Empty pcDNA3.0 plasmid (200 ng) was used as a negative control. (C) Luciferase reporter gene assay showed that the decreased luciferase activities of PTEN 3′UTR reporter (PTEN 3′UTR-1 or PTEN 3′UTR-2) in HepG2 cells mediated by miR-29a overexpression (200 ng) was rescued by a miR-29a inhibitor in a dose dependent manner (30, 50, and 100 nM). …”

A novel index based on planktonic copepod reproductive traits as a tool for marine ecotoxicology studies by Mohamed Bakr, Hussain

“…At high concentrations, cadmium and silver induce an increase in EPR in the copepods Acartia tonsa and Acartia hudsonica, while exposure to mercury decreases EPR in adults by 50%. All three metals affect HS, with mercury inducing a stronger effect than cadmium and silver. …”

Fixing a heart valve by Nature Research (16552612)

“…And yet, surgeons are often unwilling to repair the mitral valve, because the procedure is more challenging than valve replacement. As Antune points out, however, the proportion of repaired valves that need to be replaced later on decreases with surgeons' increasing experience of the procedure. …”

HOW STRONG IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RAINFALL VARIABILITY AND CAATINGA PRODUCTIVITY? A CASE STUDY UNDER A CHANGING CLIMATE by CLEBER SALIMON (5671607)

“…In an extreme dry year (2012), with 65% less rainfall than average for the period 2001-2012, the vegetation index decreased by 25%. If such decrease persists in a long term trend in rainfall reduction, this could lead to a disruption in this ecosystem functioning and the dominant vegetation could become even more xeric or desert-like, bringing serious environmental, social and economical impacts.…”
