Biological invasions create complex ecological
and societal issues worldwide. Most of the
knowledge about invasions comes only from successful
invaders, but less is known about which processes
determine the differential success of invasions. In this
review, we develop a framework to identify the main
dimensions driving the success and failure...

The post-translational modification of proteins by electrophilic oxylipids is emerging as an important mechanism that contributes to the complexity of proteomes. Enzymatic and non-enzymatic oxidation of biological lipids results in the formation of chemically diverse electrophilic carbonyl compounds, such as 2-alkenals and 4-hydroxy alkenals, epoxides and eicosanoids with reactive cyclopentenone...

A. Chemical diversity of protein
Epidemiological studies on Greenland Inuits in the 1970s and subsequent human studies have established an inverse relationship between the ingestion of omega-3 fatty acids [C₂₀₋₂₂ ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)], blood levels of C₂₀₋₂₂ ω3 PUFA and mortality associated with cardiovascular disease [CVD]. C₂₀₋₂₂ ω3 PUFA have pleiotropic effects on...

sources of 3 PUFA are available from plants, algae and yeast. A key

Embryonic diapause is a reproductive strategy widespread in the animal kingdom. This phenomenon is defined by a temporary arrest in blastocyst growth and metabolic activity within a quiescent uterus without implantation until the environmental and maternal milieu become favorable for pregnancy to progress. We found that uterine Msx expression persists...
