    Description: Our anatomical analysis revealed that a dry maize seed contains four to five embryonic leaves at different developmental stages. Rudimentary kranz structure (KS) is apparent in the first leaf with a substantial density, but its density decreases toward younger leaves. Upon imbibition, leaf expansion occurs rapidly with new KSs initiated...

    Description: The human JC virus (JCV) is potentially carcinogenic to humans as a Group 2B carcinogen, and it is ubiquitous in human populations. To investigate whether the small tumour (ST) antigen of the JCV contributes to genomic instability, we established cell lines stably expressing the JCV ST and examined its role in DNA repair. Results from host cell reactivation (HCR) assay revealed that the established cell lines exhibited lower nucleotide excision repair (NER) activity than the vector control cells did. The presence of -H2AX, a marker of DNA damage, indicated that the established cell line contained more DNA damage foci compared with vector control cells. Furthermore, the results of clonogenic analyses indicated that the JCV ST-expressing cells were more sensitive than the vector control cells to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and cisplatin treatment. Micronuclei formation assay revealed that the JCV ST-positive cells presented more chromosomal breakages than did the JCV ST-negative cells, particularly after exposure to DNA-damaging agents. The xeroderma pigmentosum Group D protein, a DNA helicase involved in NER, was downregulated in the JCV ST-positive cells in response to UV irradiation. The effect of the protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) inhibitor okadaic acid on NER was similar to that of the ST, which is a PP2A-binding protein. Therefore, the deactivation of the PP2A might underlie ST-mediated NER inhibition. The results of this study indicate that exposing JCV ST-positive cells to DNA-damaging agents causes genomic instability, which contributes to carcinogenesis. Our data provide further evidence on the association between the JCV ST and human cancer.

    Description: Human osteoclast-associated receptor (OSCAR) is an immunoglobulin (Ig)-like collagen receptor that is up-regulated on osteoclasts during osteoclastogenesis and is expressed in a range of myeloid cells. As a member of the leukocyte receptor complex family of proteins, OSCAR shares a high degree of sequence and structural homology with other collagen...

    Description: One effective way to improve the state of the art is through competitions. Following the success of the Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction (CASP) in bioinformatics research, a number of challenge evaluations have been organized by the text-mining research community to assess and advance natural language processing (NLP) research for biomedicine. In this article, we review the different community challenge evaluations held from 2002 to 2014 and their respective tasks. Furthermore, we examine these challenge tasks through their targeted problems in NLP research and biomedical applications, respectively. Next, we describe the general workflow of organizing a Biomedical NLP (BioNLP) challenge and involved stakeholders (task organizers, task data producers, task participants and end users). Finally, we summarize the impact and contributions by taking into account different BioNLP challenges as a whole, followed by a discussion of their limitations and difficulties. We conclude with future trends in BioNLP challenge evaluations.

    Description: Commissural neurons in the mammalian dorsal spinal cord send axons ventrally toward the floor plate, where they cross the midline and turn anteriorly toward the brain; a gradient of chemoattractant(s) inside the spinal cord controls this turning. In rodents, several Wnt proteins stimulate the extension of commissural axons after midline crossing (postcrossing). We found that Wnt4 messenger RNA is expressed in a decreasing anterior-to-posterior gradient in the floor plate, and that a directed source of Wnt4 protein attracted postcrossing commissural axons. Commissural axons in mice lacking the Wnt receptor Frizzled3 displayed anterior-posterior guidance defects after midline crossing. Thus, Wnt-Frizzled signaling guides commissural axons along the anterior-posterior axis of the spinal cord.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lyuksyutova, Anna I -- Lu, Chin-Chun -- Milanesio, Nancy -- King, Leslie A -- Guo, Nini -- Wang, Yanshu -- Nathans, Jeremy -- Tessier-Lavigne, Marc -- Zou, Yimin -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Dec 12;302(5652):1984-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurobiology, Pharmacology and Physiology, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14671310" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The integral transform techniques are used to derive the closed-form solutions of a homogeneous cross-anisotropic half space with an isothermal impervious ground surface subjected to a hot fluid injection. The study developed a mathematical model for the distribution of temperature changes, excess pore fluid pressure and land deformation of the half space of strata. Analytic solutions are derived through the application of Hankel transform and Fourier transform with respect to the radial coordinate and axial coordinate, respectively. The results can provide better understanding of the hot fluid injection induced isothermal impervious half space responses of the cross-anisotropic porous strata.

    Notes: The morphogenesis of a highly organized cellular membrane structure, a membranous labyrinth (ML), in the cells of penaeid shrimp infected with Penaeus monodon baculovirus (MBV) is described. The ML possibly originates from dilated Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or the outer nuclear membrane. The ML apparently grows by proliferation of the cellular membranes of these systems. In addition, its degree of development was correlated with stages of MBV reproduction.

    Notes: Abstract. A digoxigenin-labelled DNA probe was used for in situ detection of the Penaeus monodon-type baculovirus (MBV) derived from cloned MBV polyhedrin genome in cultured Penaeus monodon Fabricius. First, the specificity of the probe against MBV DNA with dot blot hybridization analysis was verified. This probe indicated that cloned MBV polyhedrin fragment can be used as an MBV-specific probe. This was then used to microscopically examine sections of MBV-infected tissues for a blue-purple precipitate indicative of a positive reaction for MBV. MBV-positive cells were located only in the epithelium of the hepatopancreatic tubules and of the midgut. Furthermore, comparison of the susceptibility to MBV infection among several life-stages of the shrimp showed that the MBV genome was found in the zoea, mysis, post-larva, and adult stages, whereas MBV DNA was not detected in either eggs or nauplii. The results were quantified from in situ hybridization with an image analyser to compare the degree of cell infection among groups of cultured P. monodon collected from various farms in Taiwan.

    Notes: Since 1987, farmers in southern Taiwan have reported significant disease-related mortalities in freshwater prawns. Most mortalities have occurred during the winter, and usually almost all the adult prawns die within 4–5 days after clinical signs appear. Histopathological studies show that cells in hepatopancreatic ducts and tubules are vacuolized and degenerated. Large numbers of membrane-bound yeast aggregates are observed in the affected tissues. Two hundred and seventeen yeast isolates were obtained from diseased prawns, pond water and sediments from six areas. DNA restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was used to analyse the yeast genomes and to categorize them into five groups. Conventional biochemical and metabolic methods were then used to identify the yeasts of each group. The results showed that two strains of Candida sake (I and II), Pichia anomala, Endomyces fibuliger and Candida famata were present. In addition, the RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) method was used to determine their genomic similarities. Two strains (I and II) of C. sake were the most similar (72%). C. sake I appears to be the primary causative agent of disease, based on frequencies of occurrence of the yeasts found in the diseased prawns.
