In tropical rainforests, light is abundant above the canopy but scarce in the understory, only becoming abundant when trees fall over (or lose their leaves) and then only for short periods. Efficiently capturing and using transient light sources requires physiological and morphological adaptations that...
Colour polymorphism (or polychromatism) refers to the existence of two or more discrete spectral phenotypes of individuals in a population (Caro2005; Roulin2004; White and Kemp2016). Such polymorphism may be controlled genetically and/or developmentally and may vary between populations, habitats, sex...
Skeletal muscle undergoes atrophy and loss of force during long space missions, when astronauts are persistently exposed to altered gravity and increased ionizing radiation. We previously carried out mass spectrometry-based proteomics from skeletal muscl
Physiological characterization by mass spectrometry confirmed that SymA3 produces an MAA, Porphyra-334 (Fig. 1d and e), which has an m/z of 347.1456 Da. On the other hand, MAAs were not detected in SymC (Fig. 1d) or in S. minutum (shown here as SymB) of clade B1 (data not shown...

whereas the host tends to improve its resistance, the parasite is permanently under selection for increased success1,2,3. Although the counterstrategies that parasites have evolved to subvert host defenses are well characterized, the molecular bases of the adaptations of parasites to their hosts are...
The theory predicates AIS pathogenesis in girls on dysfunction in one or both of two putative normal mechanisms involved in trunk growth, each acquired in evolution and unique to humans, namely: Figure 1 Double neuro-osseous theory for the pathogenesis of AIS in girls. Disharmony in spine and ...
The nucleotide second messengers cAMP and c-di-GMP allow many bacteria, including the human intestinal pathogen Vibrio cholerae, to respond to environmental stimuli with appropriate physiological adaptations. In response to limitation of specific carbohydrates, cAMP and its receptor CRP control the transcr...
