This article contributes to the study of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) through a narrative grounded on two points of innovation. It offers frameworks to decenter the conversation on HSIs from normative practices in higher education to focus on pedagogical, cultural, and political relational processes that find greater congruence between nominal HSIs and the Latina/o students, families, and the communities that populate those universities. It looks at points of innovation that emerged in two different parts of the country at different places, spaces, and time. One was initiated at the University of North Florida (UNF) in the early-to-mid-1970s, and the second is taking place at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in South Texas (UTRGV). The UNF experience placed race relations front and center of its innovation, and offers an appropriate historical lens through which to understand the social and institutional change taking place in South Texas. The UTRGV work provides an example of how an HSI can align its curricular and core identity to reflect the population and region it serves. This study employs a methodology and theoretical framework that aligns the inquiry, pedagogy, and meaning-making process in a generative and relational discourse.

Life Threatening

The discovery and utilization of novel metabolites from natural sources are gaining momentum in the present era. The drug discovery programs have witnessed a remarkable shift from conventional medicines to exploiting natural products and their “value addition”, for treating lifethreatening diseases. The global outbreak of life-threatening diseases namely Ebola, SARS,including infections of the bloodstream (bacteremia), heart valves (endocarditis), lungs (pneumonia), and brain (meningitis) and AIDS calls for a more targeted approach to effectively combat the emerging diseases. In the present scenario, natural products and their extracts are being explored extensively for the treatment of various life threatening diseases. In this thematic issue, several review articles contributed by the scientist and researchers in the different areas of medicinal chemistry, synthetic chemistry, new emerging multi-drug targets were collected. This issue begins with a review article on the “Chemistry and Pharmacology of Natural Catechins from Camellia sinensis as anti-MRSA agents” by Gaur et al. and focuses on the spread of MRSA strains is of great concern because of limited treatment options for staphylococcal infections, since these strains are resistant to the entire class of β-lactam antibiotics. In addition, MRSA exhibits resistance to other classes of antimicrobial agents such as fluoroquinolones, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, macrolide and even glycopeptides (vancomycin and teicoplanine), leading to the emergence of resistant strains such as glycopeptide intermediate (GISA) and resistant strain (GRSA) of S. aureus. In this review, chemical constituents responsible for the anti-MRSA activity of tea are explored [1]. The next article of this issue is a review article on the “Recent Advancements in the Synthesis and Chemistry of Benzofused Nitrogen- and Oxygen-based Bioactive Heterocycles” by Sharma et al. which focuses on medicinal importance of these bioactive benzo-fused heterocycles; special attention has been given to their synthesis as well as medicinal/pharmaceutical properties in detail [2]. “Trends in pharmaceutical design of Endophytes as anti-infective,” by Tiwari et al., is the third article in this issue. The review focused on the meta-analysis of bioactive metabolite production from endophytes, extensively discussing the bioprospection of natural products for pharmaceutical applications. In light of the emerging importance of endophytes as antiinfective agents, an exploration of the pharmaceutical design of novel chemical entities and analogues has enabled efficient and cost-effective drug discovery programs. However, bottlenecks in endophytic biology and research requires a better understanding of endophytic dynamics and mechanism of bioactive metabolite production towards a sustainable drug discovery program [3]. The last article of this issue is also research article on “Recent development of tetrahydro-quinoline/isoquinoline based compounds as anticancer agents” by Yadav et al. The article reported the synthesis of potent tetrahydroquinoline/isoquinoline molecules of the last 10 years with their anticancer properties in various cancer cell lines and stated their half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50). In addition, we also considered the discussion of molecular docking and structural activity relationship wherever provided to understand the possible mode of activity an target involved and structural features responsible for the better activity, so the reader can directly find detail for designing new anticancer agents. [4]. Finally I would like to thank all authors who contributed to this issue, titled “Recent advances on small molecule medicinal chemistry to treat human diseases”.

Natural Product Chemist

This paper presents an overview of Dr. Mabry's accomplishments in his career as a natural product chemist, first at the University of Zürich as a post-doctoral fellow, and from 1962, as a faculty member at the University of Texas at Austin in the Department of Botany until the late 1990s, when the Biological Sciences programs at UT-Austin were completely reorganized. From then until his retirement in 2006, he was a member of the Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology faculty.

Large House

In the Summer of 1949 an archaeological; field group, sponsored by the University of Texas, excavated a large house structure at the Polvo site (57D2-3) in western Texas. The previous summer J. Charles Kelley had excavated 2 structures at this site, which he reported in 1949. The site itself he identified as a component of the Bravo Valley aspect.The Polvo site is located in southern Presidio County, Texas, some 8 miles south of the junction of the Rio Grande and the Rio Conchos, in what is referred to as the “La Junta” region of the Big Bend. The site lies about one mile to the southwest of the modern village of Redford, at the edge of the old Mexican pueblito Polvo. Physiographically, the site is located in the Redford Vajley, through which the Rio Grande flows into the Canon Colorado. Midway in the valley, an arroyo, known locally as the Arroyo Bayo Nuevo, enters the river.
