Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors represent a family of proteins that contain
a bHLH domain, a motif involved in binding DNA. Recently, two groups independently …

Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) is a model for the temperate grasses which
include important cereals such as barley, wheat and oats. Comparison of the Brachypodium …

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor microemboli (CTM) have been shown to
