Autophagy is a core molecular pathway for the preservation of cellular and organismal
homeostasis. Pharmacological and genetic interventions impairing autophagy responses …

The design and use of materials in the nanoscale size range for addressing medical and
health-related issues continues to receive increasing interest. Research in nanomedicine …

Over the past two decades, the molecular machinery that underlies autophagic responses
has been characterized with ever increasing precision in multiple model organisms. Moreover…

Here we analyse genetic variation, population structure and diversity among 3,010 diverse
Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) genomes from the 3,000 Rice Genomes Project. Our …

Polyploidization has provided much genetic variation for plant adaptive evolution, but the
mechanisms by which the molecular evolution of polyploid genomes establishes genetic …

We have sequenced and assembled a draft genome of G. raimondii, whose progenitor is
the putative contributor of the D subgenome to the economically important fiber-producing …

The biochemical properties of beclin 1 suggest a role in two fundamentally important cell
biological pathways: autophagy and apoptosis. We show here that beclin 1 -/- mutant mice die …

Inactivation of constitutive autophagy results in formation of cytoplasmic protein inclusions
and leads to liver injury and neurodegeneration, but the details of abnormalities related to …

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica), a member of the Poaceae grass family, is an important food and
fodder crop in arid regions and has potential for use as a C 4 biofuel. It is a model system …

Chitosan-based nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in drug delivery, device-based therapy,
tissue engineering, and medical imaging. In this aspect, a clear understanding of how …
