Early endosomes collect and sort cargoes before maturing into late endosomes that ferry those cargoes to the lysosome. Liu et al. identify two proteins that spur early endosomes to transform and thus help ensure that cellular deliveries occur on schedule (1). As an early endosome morphs into a late endosome, it revamps its molecular composition. Early endosomes carry the GTPase Rab5, which attr...

This study longitudinally evaluated whether maturation and relative age interact with time during adolescence to differentially affect the development of anthropometric and fitness characteristics in junior rugby league players. Anthropometric and fitness characteristics of 81 junior players selected into the UK Rugby Football League's talent identification and development process were assessed...

Eating and anxiety disorders are more prevalent in females, increase during adolescence, and are associated with early pubertal development. This study examined whether timing of puberty onset is associated with disordered eating and anxiety in a large sample of postpubertal male and female undergraduate students. Self-report questionnaires assessed timing of puberty, disordered eating, anxiety...

In Ethiopia, the use of traditional and improved grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] variety as green forage crop is limited mainly by large stalk thickness low nutritive values. An experiment was conducted to explore if biomass accumulation values could be managed seeding rates. Two dual-purpose varieties (Melkam Chelenko), one local (Masugi) each representing early late maturity group...

Selection from novel orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) germplasm sources resulted in the development of an early maturing population. Fifty-eight families comprise this population and were evaluated under frequent infrequent harvest intervals at Lewiston Millville, UT, field locations during 2013 2014. The objective study was to characterize performance individual when compared with check cu...
