Stable transformation of pleomorphic bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei by MacGregor, P, Rojas, F, Dean, S, Matthews, KR

“…However, most trypanosome studies are carried out on laboratory-adapted monomorphic cell lines, incapable of differentiating to stumpy-forms or completing the life cycle through the tsetse fly. Partly, this has been due to the inefficiency of transfection of pleomorphic strains which have retained the ability to generate stumpy-forms. …”

Identification of the meiotic life cycle stage of Trypanosoma brucei in the tsetse fly by Peacock, L, Ferris, V, Sharma, R, Sunter, J, Bailey, M, Carrington, M, Gibson, W

“…Genetic exchange occurs in the parasitic protists Trypanosoma brucei, T. cruzi, and Leishmania major, but the precise cellular mechanisms are unknown, because the process has not been observed directly. Here we exploit the identification of homologs of meiotic genes in the T. brucei genome and demonstrate that three functionally distinct, meiosis-specific proteins are expressed in the nucleus of a single specific cell type, defining a previously undescribed developmental stage occurring within the tsetse fly salivary gland. …”

Authenticity and other textual problems in Heroides 16 by Heyworth, S

“…Above all, weighty arguments have been used to question Ovid's authorship not just of some of these poems, as is the case with the single epistles (Heroides 1–15), but all of them; and if they are by Ovid, when do they belong in his career as a poet, and how might answers to these questions affect our interpretation of what we read? …”

Topology surveillance of the lanosterol demethylase CYP51A1 by signal peptide peptidase by Sergejevs, N, Avci, D, van de Weijer, ML, Corey, RA, Lemberg, MK, Carvalho, P

“…Cleavage of transmembrane segments on target proteins by the aspartyl intramembrane protease signal peptide peptidase (SPP, encoded by HM13) has been linked to immunity, viral infection and protein quality control. …”

Laser-written scalable sapphire integrated photonics platform by Wang, M, Salter, PS, Payne, FP, Liu, T, Booth, MJ, Fells, JAJ

“…A number of structures have been fabricated with simultaneous single-mode and polarization independent operation: evanescently coupled waveguide arrays, Y-branch splitters, Mach-Zehnder interferometers, and a 2 × 2 directional-coupler. …”

Morphological supply in response to systemic demand: the Greek past iteratives from birth to death by Willi, A

“…The Homeric past iteratives in -σκε/ο- have been the object of much discussion, notably with regard to their Indo-European background and the question whether their creation is due to language contact with Anatolian, where the Hittite formations in -ške- seem to play a somewhat similar semantic role. …”

Reactive synthesis of dominant strategies by Aminof, B, De Giacomo, G, Rubin, S

“…We consider the case where the agent cannot enforce its goal --- for which the argument for using best-effort strategies has been made --- and study the intermediate ground, between enforcing and best-effort strategies, of dominant strategies. …”
