Cover Story: Current knowledge of the pathogenesis and genomic landscape of NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is evolving. In this review, we highlight the key players in the molecular biology and genetic make-up of ENKTL, as depicted in this illustration, with a focus on the translational opportunities. The sea in the background represents hope for novel treatments that may someday wipe out this disease. The picture was drawn on a beach off the coast of Singapore by Dr. Shweta Singhal and the idea was conceived by Dr. Siok Bian Ng and Dr. Anand Jeyasekharan. View the paper here.

Early Transcriptomic Response to Phosphate Deprivation in Soybean Leaves as Revealed by RNA-Sequencing

  • Houqing Zeng,
  • Xiajun Zhang,
  • Xin Zhang,
  • Erxu Pi,
  • Liang Xiao and
  • Yiyong Zhu

Low phosphate (Pi) availability is an important limiting factor affecting soybean production. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for low Pi stress response and tolerance remain largely unknown, especially for the early signaling...

The Making of Hematopoiesis: Developmental Ancestry and Environmental Nurture

  • Geoffrey Brown,
  • Rhodri Ceredig and
  • Panagiotis Tsapogas

Evidence from studies of the behaviour of stem and progenitor cells and of the influence of cytokines on their fate determination, has recently led to a revised view of the process by which hematopoietic stem cells and their progeny give rise to the...
