Sodium intake and biological sex influence urinary endothelin-1 in salt-resistant adults: a pilot study Open
To our knowledge, this is the first human study detailing sex differences in the renal endothelin-1 (ET-1) system in response to increasing sodium diets. We found that increasing dietary sodium intake increases urinary ET-1 excretion, an e…

Chronic mistimed feeding results in renal fibrosis and disrupted circadian blood pressure rhythms Open
Circadian disruption is a disturbance in biological timing which can occur within or between different organizational levels, ranging from molecular rhythms within specific cells to misalignment of behavioral and environmental cycles. Prev…

The graduate school guide: How to prepare for the qualifying exam and assemble a thesis/graduate committee Open
Qualifying exams and thesis committees are crucial components of a PhD candidate's journey. However, many candidates have trouble navigating these milestones and knowing what to expect. This article provides advice on meeting the requireme…

Running a successful STEMM summer program: A week‐by‐week guide Open
While some established undergraduate summer programs are effective across many institutions, these programs may only be available to some principal investigators or may not fully address the diverse needs of incoming undergraduates. This a…

Reimagining bioRxiv and preprint servers as platforms for academic learning Open
A popular preprint server, bioRxiv, is important as a tool for increased visibility for life science research. If used properly, however, bioRxiv can also be an important tool for training, as it may expose trainees (degree‐seeking student…

Current perspective on circadian function of the kidney Open
Behavior and function of living systems are synchronized by the 24-h rotation of the Earth that guides physiology according to time of day. However, when behavior becomes misaligned from the light-dark cycle, such as in rotating shift work…

Mobility of mPing and its associated elements is regulated by both internal and terminal sequences Open
Background DNA transposable elements are mobilized by a “cut and paste” mechanism catalyzed by the binding of one or more transposase proteins to terminal inverted repeats (TIRs) to form a transpositional complex. Study of the rice genome …

Tracking the origin of two genetic components associated with transposable element bursts in domesticated rice Open
Transposable elements (TEs) shape genome evolution through periodic bursts of amplification. In this study prior knowledge of the mPing/Ping/Pong TE family is exploited to track their copy numbers and distribution in genome sequences from …

Two key events associated with a transposable element burst occurred during rice domestication Open
Transposable elements shape genome evolution through periodic bursts of amplification. In this study we exploited knowledge of the components of the mPing/Ping/Pong TE family in four rice strains undergoing mPing bursts to track their copy…
