抗原变异可使得多种致病微生物易于逃避宿主免疫应答。表达在感染红细胞表面的恶性疟原虫红细胞表面蛋白1（PfPMP1）与感染红细胞、内皮细胞、树突状细胞以及胎盘的单个或多个受体作用，在黏附及免疫逃避中起关键的作用。每个单倍体基因组var基因家族编码约60种成员，通过启动转录不同的var基因变异体为抗原变异提供了分子基础。read more

Comprehensive characterization of genes required for protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum
Martin C. Jonikas,Sean R. Collins,Vladimir Denic,Eugene Oh,Erin M. Quan,Volker Schmid,Jimena Weibezahn,Blanche Schwappach,Peter Walter,Jonathan S. Weissman,Maya Schuldiner +10 more
TL;DR: This strategy revealed multiple conserved factors critical for endoplasmic reticulum folding, including an intimate dependence on the later secretory pathway, a previously uncharacterized six-protein transmembrane complex, and a co-chaperone complex that delivers tail-anchored proteins to their membrane insertion machinery.

Genetic drift at expanding frontiers promotes gene segregation
TL;DR: A comparison of bacterial and yeast colonies suggests that this large-scale genetic sectoring is a generic phenomenon that may provide a detectable footprint of past range expansions.

TL;DR: Eradication of stress-induced transposition evidently stabilized the MDS genomes and provided some of the new properties and led to unanticipated beneficial properties: high electroporation efficiency and accurate propagation of recombinant genes and plasmids that were unstable in other strains.

The Functions of Biological Diversity in an Age of Extinction
TL;DR: Recent advances in the young and evolving field of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning are reviewed, the extent to which the field is becoming a predictive science is explored, and how the field needs to develop in order to aid worldwide efforts to achieve environmental sustainability in the face of rising rates of extinction is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
miR-34 - a microRNA replacement therapy is headed to the clinic.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms of miR-34-mediated tumor suppression, pharmacologies in animal models of cancer, and a status update of a mi R-34 therapy that may be among the first miRNA mimics to reach the clinic.

TL;DR: This work shows that graphene's electronic structure is captured in its Raman spectrum that clearly evolves with the number of layers, and allows unambiguous, high-throughput, nondestructive identification of graphene layers, which is critically lacking in this emerging research area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Finding and evaluating community structure in networks.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the algorithms proposed are highly effective at discovering community structure in both computer-generated and real-world network data, and can be used to shed light on the sometimes dauntingly complex structure of networked systems.

TL;DR: This study reveals a family of endonucleases that use dual-RNAs for site-specific DNA cleavage and highlights the potential to exploit the system for RNA-programmable genome editing.

Understanding the Warburg Effect: The Metabolic Requirements of Cell Proliferation
TL;DR: It is proposed that the metabolism of cancer cells, and indeed all proliferating cells, is adapted to facilitate the uptake and incorporation of nutrients into the biomass needed to produce a new cell.
