WEBDec 27, 2018 · Art and science have coexisted, often indistinguishable from each other, across time and space. A wealth of early documented examples comes from the Islamic culture, where art and science joined in intricate star‐shaped architectural geometries, and the use of “Nur” (light) and material science to design utensils and lettering in manuscripts 2.
Fermentation for future food systems: - EMBO reports
WEBApr 27, 2021 · The growing human population and global warming pose an impending threat for global food security (Linder, 2019).This has prompted a critical re‐examination of the food supply chain from producers to consumers in order to increase the overall efficiency of food production, storage and transport.
How plants manage pathogen infection | EMBO reports
WEBDec 19, 2023 · Once pathogens penetrate these physical barriers, plants remodel physical structures to suppress pathogen spread. Plants induce cell wall reinforcement including the deposition of callose and lignin. Xylem vessel is modified by tyloses and gels. Plant cells undergo localized cell death called hypersensitive response.

WEBOct 11, 2011 · Multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) are essential in most bioinformatics analyses that involve comparing homologous sequences. The exact way of computing an optimal alignment between N sequences has a computational complexity of O(L N) for N sequences of length L making it prohibitive for even small numbers of sequences. Most automatic methods are based on the ‘progressive alignment ...

WEBAug 24, 2021 · The US FDA grouped bsAbs into two main classes based on their mechanism of action, namely cell‐bridging bsAbs and antigen‐crosslinking bsAbs (non‐cell‐bridging molecules; Labrijn et al, 2019).Most cell‐bridging bsAbs are designed for cancer treatment by linking immune cells to malignant cells.
Emerging pathogen evolution: - EMBO reports
WEBAug 30, 2020 · A successful jump into a novel host species is a three‐step process. First, the pathogen must come into contact with the novel host. Next, it must successfully infect the novel host, which may involve binding to host cell receptors, entering cells and hijacking the cellular machinery to replicate, and/or escaping host defences.
