Some like it hot: adaptation to the urban heat island in common dandelion.

Y. Woudstra, R. Kraaiveld, A. Jorritsma, K. Vijverberg, S. Ivanovic, R. Erkens, H. Huber, B. Gravendeel, K. J. Verhoeven

This study shows urban dandelions have adapted to the urban heat island effect by growing more biomass at higher temperatures and requiring less vernalization for flowering.

Inhibition of proline-rich-tyrosine kinase 2 restores cardioprotection by remote ischemic preconditioning in type 2 diabetes mellitus

R. Erkens, D. A. Duse, A. Brum, A. Chadt, S. Becher, M. Siragusa, C. Quast, J. Muessig, M. Roden, M. Cortese-Krott, E. Lammert, I. Fleming, C. Jung, H. Al-Hasani, G. Heusch, M. Kelm

This study shows that inhibiting Pyk2 restores cardioprotection lost in diabetes through improved endothelial function and eNOS activity during remote ischemic preconditioning.

The soursop genome and comparative genomics of basalangiosperms provide new insights on evolutionaryincongruence

J. S. Strijk, D. Hinsinger, M. Roeder, L. Chatrou, T. Couvreur, R. Erkens, H. Sauquet, M. Pirie, D. C. Thomas, K. Cao

The paper presents the soursop genome and uses phylogenomic analysis to resolve angiosperm relationships, finding magnoliids as sister to monocots and eudicots.
