The identification and expression of an interleukin-21 receptor in large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea)
We identified a homologue of IL-21R (LcIL-21R) in large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea, Lc). Our investigation focused on understanding the molecular structural features and immune function of LcIL-21R.

Open AccessRestricting epigenetic activity promotes the reprogramming of transformed cells to pluripotency in a line-specific manner
Somatic cell reprogramming and oncogenic transformation share surprisingly similar features, yet transformed cells are resistant to reprogramming. Epigenetic barriers must block transformed cells from reprogra...

Open AccessGlobal systematic review with meta-analysis shows that warming effects on terrestrial plant biomass allocation are influenced by precipitation and mycorrhizal association
Biomass allocation in plants is fundamental for understanding and predicting terrestrial carbon storage. Yet, our knowledge regarding warming effects on root: shoot ratio (R/S) remains limited. Here, we presen...

Publisher Correction: NCoR/SMRT co-repressors cooperate with c-MYC to create an epigenetic barrier to somatic cell reprogramming
In the version of this Article originally published, in Fig. 2c, the ‘+’ sign and ‘OSKM’ were superimposed in the label ‘+OSKM’. In Fig. 4e, in the labels, all instances of ‘Ant’ should have been ‘Anti-’. And,...
