| The ribosome, a molecular machine powered by RNA, is responsible for protein synthesis. Ribosomal RNA processing mature and its association with ribosomal protein is the basic process of ribosomal subunit assembly. In eukaryotic cells, this process is conducted in the nucleolus. As a nucleolar complex for small-subunit ribosomal RNA processing, small-subunit (SSU) processome has been extensivel... more |

| Apoptosis resistance is a hurdle for cancer treatment and apoptosis is a critical cellular process required for maintenance of tissue homeostasis. The Caspase family plays a critical role in apoptosis and caspase-8 is an initial caspase for the extrinsic apoptotic pathway. HECTD3, a new E3 ubiquitin ligase, was recently reported to confer breast cancer cells to cisplatin resistance. The possibl... more |

| Traditional accounts of human settlement have traced the development of ancient and sophisticated cultures, like those along the Nile and Yangtze rivers, through the historical and archaeological detritus of their achievements. For older human populations where there are often no records and only scant archeological fragments, linguistic and genetic studies have proved invaluable. Both language... more |

| The Zhongdian Heavy-Lip Fish, Ptychobarbus chungtienensis (Tsao 1964) is endemic to the Yunnan Plateau. Historically it has been found in the little Zhong Dian River, Naya River, and the Bita Sea, all of which are in the Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and part of the Qinghai Tibetan plateau. In response to declining wild populations and increasing risk factors, the government recently rel... more |

Yang Jian and researchers at the Kunming Institute of Zoology’s (KIZ) Phylogeny and Biogeography Research Group recently discovered two previously undocumented Schizothorax species in the Irrawaddy River system that have been named Schizothorax leukus sp. nov., for its white body, and Singular Schizothorax (Schizothorax heteri sp. nov.).
The white body Schizothorax has the following typica... more |
