Evolution of chloroplasts: addressing the genomic processes behind acquisition of secondary and tertiary organelles

The dinoflagellate chloroplasts (plastids) originate from eukaryotic photosynthetic endosymbionts. Rather than being derived from a single group (being monophyletic) the plastids of dinoflagellates are originate from several organism groups and are thus of polyphyletic origin. Most dinoflagellat...

Adipose Stem Cells: Molecular Basis of Pluripotency

Stem cells reside in many adult tissues and are responsible for maintaining tissue homeostasis. Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) display sufficient plasticity to differentiate into cell types outside their predicted developmental linea ge. This might create opportunities for a...
