Avalon Highis an adaptation of the book of the same name by Meg Cabot; a book I did read as a teenager (I was super into Meg Cabot’s books) but really couldn’t remember anything about the story so watching the film was like a whole new experience. ...
But breathing has nothing on some of the straight-up needless or even harmful adaptations that are seen in not just humans, but animals in general. In the next few pages, we'll first explore the dumb adaptations (or lack thereof) that humans have suffered with. We'll then turn to some...
As shown in rodents, the regenerative capacity of peripheral nerves depends on Schwann cell (SC) properties. After injury, SCs typically switch from a differentiated myelinating state into a pro-regenerative repair phenotype4. This SC reprograming involves changes in transcription factor (TF) expressi...
Exposure to 56Fe, 16O, and 1H has been shown to reduce the methylation and expression of long interspersed nuclear elements 1 [135, 136]. Subsequent investigations have indicated that space radiation might impair DNA methylation by modifying components related to one-carbon unit and methionine ...
Substitutions/site and Bayesian posterior probabilities are shown. (b) The evaluation of the divergence times across seven mammalian species. The Bayesian relaxed molecular clock method was implemented using the BEAST v1.7.5 software22. We utilized an indirect estimate18 of the divergence time as ...
Despite the similarities in coastlines, mobile hunter鈥揼atherers also integrated these variable coastal landscapes into their settlement strategies for more than 100ka, as shown by evidence for stable, repeated and planned occupations. Additionally, elements of complex material culture, such as bone ...
In addition to the immediate release of fixed carbon and provision of amino acids by symbionts, we have found proteomic evidence of a second possible nutritional mode whereby the host directly digests symbionts, as shown by the detection of abundant host-derived digestive enzymes in trophosome tiss...
Charcoals are evidence of human activity in cases which are not shown by pollen. Overexploitation of thinned plant resources, including overgrazing, accelerated the evolution towards xeric conditions during drying climatic phases. Humans enforced the aridity crisis and enhanced its signal in ...
347 cells from terrestrialized and freshwater lungfish. Cells are shown by UMAP and color-coded by cluster cell type. Each dot represents a cell, and different colors are associated with specific cell types. NK cell_like, Natural killer cell_like; Un_epithelial cell, unclassified epithelial cell...
(right). Eye samples from three individuals were used in expression evaluation with standard error shown for eye and mantle groups. The asterisks indicate genes showing significantly higher expression in eyes than in the mantle (p-value < 0.05, the exact test by edgeR).bR-opsin gene ...
