Unlocking the mechanism behind marine bacterium’s ability to clean up oil spills
The marine bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis feeds on oil, multiplying rapidly in the wake of oil spills, and thereby accelerating the elimination of the pollution, in many cases. It does this by producing an “organic dishwashing…

Smad4 and TGFβ1 dependent gene expression signatures in conditional intestinal adenoma, organoids and colorectal cancer
Combined Apc and Smad4 conditional disruption results in discordant adenoma phenotypes
To investigate the adult stage-specific genetic interactions between Apc and Smad4 in the murine intestine, we combined conditional alleles with a Cre driven by…
