    Ecological lipidology

    Laura Christin Trautenberg, Marko Brankatschk ... Klaus Reinhardt
    Effects of dietary lipids on organismal function and reproductive fitness are persistent and may depend on lipid identity, cause the evolution of lipid-based diet choice, alter food webs, change species responses to environmental change, and affect human nutrition.

    Hypoxia-inducible factor underlies von Hippel-Lindau disease stigmata

    Michael Ohh, Cassandra C Taber ... Daniel Tarade
    Previous studies and emerging data on pseudohypoxic diseases suggest that the complex phenotypic spectrum of VHL disease is due to the extent of HIF pathway deregulation in susceptible cell types and not by other purported substrates or functions of pVHL.
