Small individuals had a lower feeding rate on large macroalgae (e.g., Cystoseira), but higher digestive efficiency. Platynereis dumerilii thus feeds preferentially on erect micro- and macroalgae which are more easily cut by the jaws of its eversible pharynx. This selective herbivore thus has a ...
particularly in the airways and GI tract. In this chapter, we will illustrate the different operational roles of CFTR in epithelial function by describing its characteristics in three different tissues: the airways
was identified as the first m6A methyltransferase [17]. It can bind to approximately 22% of all m6A sites [33] and plays a dual role as an oncogene and a tumor suppressor in different tumors and, in some cases, in the same tumor [34,35]. However, METTL3 is an ...
Tonsils are the first sites where microbial and environmental antigens (Ags) entering through the upper aero digestive tract, are managed in the human body. Suitably located at the entrance of the pharynx to grant immunologic protection, tonsils are continually exposed to dietary and airborne Ags....

Human body is inhabited by vast number of microorganisms which form a complex ecological community and influence the human physiology, in the aspect of both health and diseases. These microbes show a relationship with the human immune system based on coevolution and, therefore, have a tremendous ...
