This week we have an extraordinary seminar at the IBMCP by our Artist-in-Residence Carlos Castellanos (https://ccastellanos.com, @ccastellanossf), with the title: "Intersections of Living and Machine Agencies in the Arts".…
"The Goldilocks principle, just the right amount of growth" Stem cells are the source of different cell types, and the balance between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation of their progeny…
"Natural antisense long noncoding RNAs: characteristics and role in gene-expression regulation“ Abstract: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts longer than 200 nt and without protein-coding capacity that have been identified…
“Role of metals in plant-microbe interactions” The optimal biological range of transition metal nutrient concentrations is very narrow. At low concentrations, key physiological processes fail, and the organism cannot function;…
“Recoding Regulation - Synthetic Expansions of Plant Metabolism” Plants evolved regulatory networks to coordinate complex chemical defences as well as changes to their growth and development to help them survive…
“Why all eukaryotes have homeodomain genes; a view from land plants” One innovation of eukaryotes is sex, which establishes a life cycle alternating between haploid (one set of chromosomes)…
Dr Marcus Heisler is a developmental biologist interested in pattern formation in plants. He did his PhD in the laboratory of Professor David Smyth at Monash University (Australia). Then he…
“Trimethylamine N-oxide is a new plant molecule that promotes abiotic stress tolerance” The sessile lifestyle of plants severely conditions their response to environmental changes, which frequently derivates in stressful situations.…
