Reestablishment of ion homeostasis during chill-coma recovery in the cricket Gryllus pennsylvanicus [Physiology]

The time required to recover from cold-induced paralysis (chill-coma) is a common measure of insect cold tolerance used to test central questions in thermal biology and predict the effects of climate change on insect populations. The onset of chill-coma in the fall field cricket (Gryllus pe ... mehr

Forecasting seasonal outbreaks of influenza [Applied Mathematics]

Influenza recurs seasonally in temperate regions of the world; however, our ability to predict the timing, duration, and magnitude of local seasonal outbreaks of influenza remains limited. Here we develop a framework for initializing real-time forecasts of seasonal influenza outbreaks, usin ... mehr

Cyclin D1 overexpression supports stable EBV infection in nasopharyngeal epithelial cells [Cell Biology]

Undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPCs) are commonly present with latent EBV infection. However, events regulating EBV infection at early stages of the disease and the role of EBV in disease pathogenesis are largely undefined. Genetic alterations leading to activation of cyclin D1 ... mehr
