Wide-scale identification of novel/eliminated genes responsible for evolutionary transformations
BackgroundIt is generally accepted that most evolutionary transformations at the phenotype level are associated either with rearrangements of genomic regulatory elements, which control the activity of gene networks, or with changes in the amino acid conten ...
2023Ray-tracing MRT and human thermophysiology model combination for local discomfort prediction
Dolaana Khovalyg, Arnab Chatterjee, Mohamad Rida
Thermal comfort and discomfort based on the local sensation of different body parts have been an important development in thermal comfort studies from the past decade. The human thermophysiology model can be a handy tool to predict local skin and core temp ...
TU Delft2022A meta-analysis reveals temperature, dose, life stage, and taxonomy influence host susceptibility to a fungal parasite
Complex ecological relationships, such as host-parasite interactions, are often modeled with laboratory experiments. However, some experimental laboratory conditions, such as temperature or infection dose, are regularly chosen based on convenience or conve ...
WILEY2020Reverse-engineering the locomotion of a stem amniote
Auke Ijspeert, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Tomislav Horvat, Konstantinos Karakasiliotis
Reconstructing the locomotion of extinct vertebrates offers insights into their palaeobiology and helps to conceptualize major transitions in vertebrate evolution. However, estimating the locomotor behaviour of a fossil species remains a challenge because ...
2019Sensorimotor processing in the rodent barrel cortex
Tactile sensory information from facial whiskers provides nocturnal tunnel-dwelling rodents, including mice and rats, with important spatial and textural information about their immediate surroundings. Whiskers are moved back and forth to scan the environm ...
NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2019Tomographic in vivo microscopy for the study of lung physiology at the alveolar level
Goran Lovric, Marco Stampanoni
Lungs represent the essential part of the mammalian respiratory system, which is reflected in the fact that lung failure still is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Establishing the connection between macroscopic observations o ...
2017An Integrated Microfluidic Device For C-Elegans Early Embryogenesis Studies And Drug Assays
Martinus Gijs, Pierre Gönczy, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Li Dong, Radek Jankele, Jingwei Zhang
The Caenorhabditis elegans embryo is a widely used model for the functional analysis of dynamic cellular processes, such as chromosome segregation, cytokinesis or lineage analysis. However, the conventional embryo preparation method that relies on manually ...
Ieee2017Reorganisation of Hoxd regulatory landscapes during the evolution of a snake-like body plan
Within land vertebrate species, snakes display extreme variations in their body plan, characterized by the absence of limbs and an elongated morphology. Such a particular interpretation of the basic vertebrate body architecture has often been associated wi ...
Elife Sciences Publications Ltd2016Lymphatic vessels regulate immune microenvironments in human and murine melanoma
Melody Swartz, Amanda Waite Lund, Manuel Andreas Fankhauser, Maria Anna Sofia Broggi
Lymphatic remodeling in tumor microenvironments correlates with progression and metastasis, and local lymphatic vessels play complex and poorly understood roles in tumor immunity. Tumor lymphangiogenesis is associated with increased immune suppression, yet ...
Amer Soc Clinical Investigation Inc2016Fourier modeling of the BOLD response to a breath-hold task: Optimization and reproducibility
João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Patricia Figueiredo, Inês Nunes de Sousa
Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) reflects the capacity of blood vessels to adjust their caliber in order to maintain a steady supply of brain perfusion, and it may provide a sensitive disease biomarker. Measurement of the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD ...
