Nation-level Ecological Footprint accounts are currently produced for more than 150 nations,
with multiple calculations available for some nations. The data sets that result from these …

In response to most stressors, fish will elicit a generalized physiological stress response,
which involves the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal axis (HPI). As in other …

The p53 tumor-suppressor protein functions as a transcriptional activator, and several p53-inducible
genes that play a role in the induction of apoptosis in response to p53 have been …

The p53 tumor-suppressor protein prevents cancer development through various mechanisms,
including the induction of cell-cycle arrest, apoptosis, and the maintenance of genome …

Influenza A viruses cause recurrent outbreaks at local or global scale with potentially severe
consequences for human health and the global economy. Recently, a new strain of …

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is known to function in the dissipation of chemical energy in

Mammalian promoters can be separated into two classes, conserved TATA box–enriched
promoters, which initiate at a well-defined site, and more plastic, broad and evolvable CpG-…

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death
worldwide. We sequenced and analyzed the whole genomes of 27 HCCs, 25 of which were …
