Fungi of the genus Candida are important etiological agents of superficial and life-threatening infections in individuals with a compromised immune system. One of the main characteristics of Candida is its ability to form ...

Flooding due to extreme weather threatens crops and ecosystems. To understand variation in gene regulatory networks activated by submergence, we conducted a high-resolution analysis of chromatin accessibility and gene ...

Circadian rhythms are self-autonomous rhythms generated at cellular level with a period close to 24 hours in constant conditions. They are present in diverse organism, from bacteria to mammals. Although they appear ...

Our increasing understanding of sex has unveiled its relevance for health and disease. Importantly, the search of the molecular bases that act as the foundations for sex differences in health and disease may provide novel ...

All organisms in which circadian clocks have been characterized exhibit a common molecular circuit, which is based on a positive element able to activate the expression of a negative one that then represses the action of ...

Lack of access to safe drinking water is a global problem, and methods to reliably and easily detect contaminants could be transformative. We report the development of a cell-free in vitro transcription system that uses ...

Cells recruited by the innate immune response rely on surface-expressed molecules in order to receive signals from the local environment and to perform phagocytosis, cell adhesion, and others processes linked to host ...

The molecular organization of the zebrafish brain and its relation to neuroanatomical divisions are still largely unknown. In this study we have analyzed the expression of a small transcript encoding for the IQ containing ...
