By far the largest proportion of the Earth's biosphere is comprised of organisms that thrive in
cold environments (psychrophiles). Their ability to proliferate in the cold is predicated on a …

Psychrophilic (cold-adapted) organisms and their products have potential applications in a
broad range of industrial, agricultural and medical processes. In order for growth to occur in …

Plants are sessile organisms and, in order to defend themselves against exogenous (a)biotic
constraints, they synthesize an array of secondary metabolites which have important …

There are numerous circumstantial evidence supporting the concept that steroid hormones
control cellular function by means other than the nuclear receptor steroid binding mechanism…

Lignocellulose biomass derived from plant cell walls is a rich source of biopolymers, chemicals,
and sugars, besides being a sustainable alternative to petrochemicals. A natural armor …

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR) play an important role
in the invasiveness of gliomas and other infiltrative tumors. In glioma cell lines and tumors, …

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) is known to play a major role in cell migration and
invasion in both physiological and pathological processes. Our previous work has shown that …

Calcium (Ca 2+ ) has an important structural role in guaranteeing the integrity of the outer
lipopolysaccharide layer and cell walls of bacterial cells. Extracellular DNA (eDNA) being part …

Psychrophilic archaea are abundant and perform critical roles throughout the Earth's expansive
cold biosphere. Here we report the first complete genome sequence for a psychrophilic …

Study Design. Prospective cohort study. Objective. To evaluate the efficacy of video telescope
operating monitor (VITOM) as an alternative to operative microscope (OM) in spinal …
