Transposable elements propagate by inserting into new locations in the genomes of the hosts they inhabit. Their transposition might thus negatively affect the fitness of the host, suggesting the requirement for a tight control in the regulati... | {

Evolution of the inflated calyx syndrome in Solanaceae.
Species that express the inflated calyx syndrome (ICS) are found in several genera of the Solanaceae. The MADS-box protein MPF2, together with the plant hormones cytokinin and gibberellin, has been shown to be responsible for this trait in Physalis floridana. We h... | {

Gbetagamma recruits Rho1 to the site of polarized growth during mating in budding yeast.
In mating mixtures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cells polarize their growth toward their conjugation partners along a pheromone gradient. This chemotropic phenomenon is mediated by structural proteins such as Far1 and Bem1 and by s... | {

Long-term blockade of mu-opioid receptors suggests a role in control of ingestive behaviour, body weight and core temperature in the rat.
Chronic subcutaneous infusion with a low dose (0.5 mg/kg/h) of naloxone via minipumps blocked the antinociceptive action of the mu-agonist, morphine, without affecting that of the ka... | {
