Hormesis, an adaptive response, occurs when exposure to low doses of a stressor potentially induces a stimulatory effect, while higher doses may inhibit it. This phenomenon is widely observed across various organisms and stressors, significantly advancing our understanding and inspiring further explorati...
Voltage-gated potassium channel, shaker-related subfamily member 3, known as Kv1.3, is a protein encoded by the KCNA3 gene in humans. Outward delayed rectifier Kv1.3 currents are typically activated at a membrane voltage of − 35 mV. These currents show C-type inactivation as well as a ch...
or crop-wild hybridization [19]. Because the time span in which weeds have evolved is necessarily limited by the origins of agriculture, these non-weed relatives often still exist and can be leveraged through population genomic and comparative genomic approaches to identify the adaptive changes ...
, which collectively show that anodal tDCS enhances cortical excitability in humans, while cathodal tDCS reduces it. One of the applications of tDCS is cognitive enhancement (Flöel, 2014), defined in a general sense as the “improvement in performance related to cognitive tasks” (Dubljević...
The criteria for including studies are as follows: (1) Research included in the core collection of Web of Science, including reviews and original articles. (2) The main research method or object is based on organoids, including various intestinal organoids from humans and mice/rat. (3) The...
Based on studies in rodents and non-human primates, and the fact that humans with LRRK2 loss of function mutations are not known to have deleterious health effects123, blockade of LRRK2 kinase activity seems to be reasonably safe, although this remains an area of active investigation. ...
Besides infected animals and COVID-19 patients, asymptomatic infectors are the most important source of infection for SARS-CoV-2 [25]. Studies have demon- strated that SARS-CoV-2 is of bat origin [12, 26], with pangolin or civet as one of the possible intermediate hosts, and humans ...
7.1.4. Non-human impact Negative impacts by animals and plants are in- cluded here because, in most cases, non-human pop- Casale et al.: Mediterranean sea turtles 249 ulations have increased due to human activities and beachfront vegetation planted by humans. There- fore, in such cases ...
Can humans manage wild boars or do we need another glaciation? Recent studies are unanimous in stating that human actions might have a strong impact on the demography but a limited impact on the genetic make-up of the European wild boar (Scandura et al., 2008, 2011b; Vilaça et al.,...
Cruel and Unusual Ways of Execution No species in nature kills its own kind more often or more creatively than humans do, yet we cannot seem to devise a reliably swift, painless method of capital punishment. Oklahoma's bungled execution of Clayton Lockett is the latest death-chamber debacle ...
