Protein inclusions made up primarily of misfolded α-synuclein (α-Syn) are the hallmark of a set of disorders known as synucleinopathies, most notably Parkinson’s disease (PD). It is becoming increasingly appreciated that α-Syn misfolding can spread to anatomically connected regions in a prio...
21.99% of bony labyrinth shape disparity is present along the PC1 axis (Supplementary Data1). The relative size of the anterior and posterior semicircular canals in comparison to that of the cochlea is smaller in the most negative values of PC1 in comparison to the most positive ones. The a...
Identification of grain shape determining genes can facilitate breeding of rice cultivars with optimal grain shape and appearance quality. Here, we identify GS9 (Grain Shape Gene on Chromosome 9) gene by map-based cloning. The gs9 null mutant has slender
has also incorporated the red star as an integral part of the company’s logo (Figure1D). In this case, however, it turns out that the shape-symbolic correspondence between carbonation and angularity was not dreamt up by Madison Avenue’s marketing guru, as Cheskin [4] was sometimes describ...
Oceanic islands play a central role in the study of evolution and island biogeography. The Galapagos Islands are one of the most studied oceanic archipelagos but research has almost exclusively focused on terrestrial organisms compared to marine species. Here we used the Galapagos bullhead shark (Het...
