Classically, the adaptive immune system has been defined by the presence of lymphocytes expressing recombination-activating gene (RAG)-dependent antigen receptors and the MHC. These features are found in all jawed vertebrates, including cartilaginous and bony fish, amphibians and reptiles and are most ...
Extreme heat, fierce winds, little vegetation and water are probably the things comes to your mind when talking about Sahara desert. Despite the fact that it is one of the harshest environments in the world, Sahara desert is home to many animals. Here the list of 10 amazingly adaptive Sahara...
This species inhabits aquatic and terrestrial environments, thus presenting important morphophysiological adaptive changes, especially in the cardiac system. For this purpose, Southern-fur-seal (Arctocephalus australis) hearts were used from animals that died from natural causes. Gross morphology ...
Stress responses are key the survival of parasites and, consequently, also the evolutionary success of these organisms. Despite this importance, our understanding of the evolution of molecular pathways dealing with environmental stressors in parasitic animals remains limited. Here, we tested the link be...
There are usually two challenging issues in the field of bimodal emotion recognition combining ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG) and facial images: (1) How to learn more significant emotionally semantic features from EEG signals in an end-to-end manner; (2) How
Selection sweeps in genes involving immune responses, cardiovascular development, and photoperception occurred differentially among the populations and were correlated with population-specific microbial communities and acquisition of distinct morphological features in the icefish taxa. Population and species-...
features were also observed. The overlap demonstrated a reasonable DMR overlap between all the comparisons with the same 45 overlapping DMR as the two individual comparisons. Overall the same phenomenon was observed in having a significant epigenetic alteration in the comparisons of the combined lakes ...
To further investigated the effect of fmOMV pretreatment on the features of the antibody response, we compared the levels of IgG1 and IgG2c subtypes 2 weeks after the sublethal dose of influenza infection. While the virus-specific total IgG response was similar irrespective of fmOMV pretreatment...
Include different root systems of different plants, modifications of stems that help plants survive, and other unique examples (ie. Venus flytrap, cactus, etc.). What are the adaptive advantages of bilateral symmetry in the strictly aquatic ...
In this study, all species of Mytilidae possessed an annotated atp8 gene, which allows us to further under- stand the features of atp8 gene in a family. The lengths of atp8 in Mytilidae were short and variable, ranging from 37 – 139 aa (Table 3 and Fig. 3). The longest ...
