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 ...

Ray-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 ...

A meta-analysis reveals temperature, dose, life stage, and taxonomy influence host susceptibility to a fungal parasite

Suzanne Marie Young

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 ...

Reverse-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 ...

Sensorimotor processing in the rodent barrel cortex

Carl Petersen

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 ...

Tomographic 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 ...

An 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 ...

Reorganisation of Hoxd regulatory landscapes during the evolution of a snake-like body plan

Denis Duboule

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 ...

Lymphatic 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 ...

Fourier 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 ...
