Genome-scale metabolic models are mathematically-structured knowledge bases that can be used to predict pathway usage and growth phenotypes. Furthermore, they generate test hypotheses when integrated with experimental data. To maximize the value of these models, centralized repositories high-quality must established, adhere established standards model components linked relevant databases. Tools for visualization further enhance their utility. meet needs, we present BiGG Models...

Resources were largely K-selected type, economical procure with simple technology but generally subject overexploitation.

Large oceanic migrants play important roles in ecosystems, yet many species are of conservation concern as a result anthropogenic threats, which incidental capture by fisheries is frequently identified. The last large populations the leatherback turtle, Dermochelys coriacea, occur Atlantic Ocean, but interactions with industrial could jeopardize recent positive population trends, making bycatch mitigation priority. Here, we perform first pan-Atlantic analysis spatio-temporal distribution...
Cancer stem cells (CSC) appear to have increased metastatic potential, but mechanisms underlying this are poorly defined. Here we show that VEGFA induction of Sox2 promotes EMT and tumor metastasis. In breast lines primary cancer culture, rapidly upregulates SOX2 expression, leading SNAI2 induction, EMT, invasion We downregulates miR-452, which acts as a novel metastasis suppressor directly target the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR). stimulates Sox2- Slug-dependent cell invasion. increases...
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive and metastatic subtype, which generally untreatable once it metastasizes. We hypothesized that interfering with the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products (RAGE) signaling small molecule RAGE inhibitors (TTP488/Azeliragon FPS-ZM1) would impair TNBC metastasis fundamental mechanisms underlying tumor progression metastasis. Both TTP488 FPS-ZM1 impaired spontaneous experimental of models, reducing to greater degree than FPS-ZM1....
Multiple juxtacrine and paracrine interactions occur between cancer cells non-cancer of the tumor microenvironment (TME) that direct progression. Cancer Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs) are an integral component TME, majority breast stroma is comprised CAFs. Heterotypic TME via soluble agents, including cytokines, hormones, growth factors, secreted microRNAs. We previously identified a microRNA signature indicative hyperactive MAPK signaling (hMAPK-miRNA signature) significantly associated with...
Background Sea turtles are long-distance migrants with considerable behavioural plasticity in terms of migratory patterns, habitat use and foraging sites within among populations. However, for the most widely migrating turtle, leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea, studies combining data from individuals different populations uncommon. Such however critical to better understand intra- inter-population variability take it into account implementation conservation strategies this critically...
Marine animals, such as turtles, seabirds and pelagic fishes, are observed to travel congregate around eddies in the open ocean. Mesoscale eddies, large swirling ocean vortices with radius scales of approximately 50-100 km, provide environmental variability that can structure these populations. In this study, we investigate use mesoscale by 24 individual juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) Brazil-Malvinas Confluence region. The influence on is assessed collocating turtle...
Circle hooks have been promoted as an alternative to traditional J-hooks in pelagic longline fisheries minimize bycatch mortality and injury sea turtles other marine wildlife. We evaluated the effect of hook type (circle vs J-hook) on catch length composition target non-target species Uruguayan fishery, for both American- Spanish-style longlines. The sample unit used comparing catches was two consecutive sections longline, each with a different type. For American-style 39,822 were deployed...

The population abundance estimates used in stock assessments or required to establish management measures, depend on the sampling of entire demographic spectrum a resident given area. However, for sea turtles, most are based mainly nesting beach survey data and only consider fraction population. Southwest Atlantic Ocean (SWA) is an important foraging development area juveniles loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta where reproductive stocks from various beaches mix. Declines C. populations have...
