Abstract:: Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, arising from malignant transformation of pigment-producing melanocytes. The primary risk factor for melanoma and other skin cancers is DNA damage resulting from unprotected solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR). If incorrectly repaired, this damage can result in incorporation of mutations that cause aberrant cell...

Creator:: Samuelsen, Andrew Ira
Abstract:: A key mechanism utilized by plants to make iron (Fe) available for uptake is the reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) via an inducible, plasma membrane-bound Fe(III) reductase. Genes encoding such enzymes have not yet been isolated from plants; however, two Fe(III) reductases have been cloned from yeast. FRE1 and FRE2...

Abstract:: Victoria blight, caused by fungus Cochliobolus victoriae, is a disease originally described on oats and recapitulated on Arabidopsis. Victoria blight is used as a model plant disease that conforms to an inverse gene-for-gene interaction. C. victoriae virulence is dependent upon its production of victorin, a host-specific toxin that induces programmed...

Creator:: Dowell, Paul T.
Abstract:: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are members of a large group of ligand-regulated transcription factors that includes nuclear receptors for steroid and thyroid hormones, retinoids and vitamin D₃. Synthetic fibrates and thiazolidinediones that bind to and activate PPARs are used efficaciously in humans to remedy hypertriglyceridemia and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus,...
