Dietary restriction (DR) decreases body weight, improves health, and extends lifespan. DR can be achieved by controlling how much and/or when food is provided, as well as by adjusting nutritional composition. Because these factors are often combined duri
6]. Through WGD events, tandem repeats, transposable element-mediated repeats, and retrotransposon duplications, genomes can increase in size and gene number. This results in the generation of structurally and functionally similar gene copies and formation of gene...
The paucibacillary nature of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT) hinders its detection, which increases the risk of false negatives. These diagnostics difficulties could lead to empiric treatments [7], patient hospitalization, prolonged illness, and finally death [8]. Consequently, novel diagnostic methods ...
The San Gabriel Mountains, located in Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties of southern California, USA, is an important locality for understanding post-wildfire hydrology and its effects on natural hazards and water resources31. Fire has long played a critical role in southern California and the...
The viability of the cells lacking free 5S rRNA rules out the existence of essential extraribosomal functions of this molecule in bacteria. Our functional and structural analyses of the engineered ribosomes reveal that the autonomous nature of 5S rRNA is not required fo...
The nature of this conjecture is such that I cannot prove it, even for a special type of ciphers. Nor do I expect it to be proven." —John Nash, 1950 [181] In 1900, David Hilbert challenged mathematicians to design a "purely mechanical procedure" to determine the truth or falsehood of...
Water is rarely is referred to as a agent that sustains anabolic drive. However, it is nature’s X-factor, the stuff that is absolutely necessary to sustain what could be referred to as your innate (inborn) anabolic equilibrium or potential. Past, present and emerging data clearly shows that...
I have been pondering about this question for a while and I think the answer to the question is quite simple – we want tobelievein nature being as beautiful as it is presented to us. We look at nature as something raw, innocent, something that has not been corrupted by humanity. ...
vulture population in Serbia, similarly to many Balkan countries, experienced a rapid demographic decline starting from the mid-twentieth century, mainly due to the mass poisoning of the birds and the implementation of new veterinary measures that prohibited the deposition of dead animals in nature13...
in other countries. In 1763, the German scholar Koelreuter1was the first to present concrete evidence that the growth of hybrid tobacco is superior to that of its parents. By comparing the height of hybrid and self-crossing offspring in maize, Darwin2found that the average height of hybrid ...
