Skin, hair and eye color vary dramatically among geographically and temporally separated human populations. It has long been speculated that this is due to adaptive changes, but the genetic causes and environmental selective pressures underlying this range of phenotypic variation have remained largely unk...
In mutations with partial loss of pax6 function eye development is initially relatively normal but froglets show an underdeveloped iris, similar to the classic phenotype (aniridia) seen in human patients with PAX6 mutations. Other eye abnormalities observed in these froglets, including cataracts and ...
Subjects were excluded with the following criteria: (1) BMI > 30 kg/m2; (2) skinfold in the optodes area > 60% of the interoptode distance (21 mm); (3) cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, or endocrine pre-existing diseases; (4) current musculoskeletal injury in the upper extremity...
The consequences of this oxidative stress can result in apoptosis and sustained inflammation, which are implicated in a number of pulmonary diseases including asthma, fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung cancer [36]. ROS overproduction can also be a consequence of peroxisome ...

The iris, the colored part of your eye, is the muscle that controls the pupil's size. Focusing the Light: The Power of Lenses Once light enters your eye, it encounters a lens, a flexible disc that acts like a camera lens. It bends the light rays to create a ...
Here, we measured neuronal RFs with intracranial local field potentials (LFPs) and spiking activity in human visual cortex (V1/V2/V3). We recorded LFPs via macro-contacts and discovered that RF sizes estimated from low-frequency activity (LFA, 0.5–30 Hz) were larger than those estimated...

The α-biotin-ω-carboxy poly(ethylene glycol) (BiotPEGnCOOH), with a weight average molar mass (Mw) of 3000 g/mol (n = 62), was purchased from Iris Biotech GMBH (Marktredwitz, Germany). DiD Oil (1,1′-dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethylindodicarbocyanine perchlorate) was purchased ...
Despite its relatively short history, vaccination has resulted in the successful control of several major infectious diseases affecting both humans and livestock species in many parts of the world. Faced with the spectre of untreatable multidrug-resistant infections due to our dependence on antimicrobials...
