I am way overdue in writing on a whole range of subjects I’m following and have intended to weigh in on: the aftermath of the US election and countdown to the dreaded Trump 2.0 regime, the slow motion crack-up of the French Fifth Republic, the breathtaking coup de théâtre in Syria...
Roots absorb HMs from the soil, while membrane proteins store them in vacuoles and/or transport them to the xylem. Then, leaves absorb HMs via xylem and can transport them to different plant organs. Metal ions are easily bound to the carboxyls of polysaccharides and uronic acid. These are ...
Although modern ICU (intensive care unit) technology can somewhat help to keep the other organs for longer, there is only one way to extend the life of the heart, kidneys, lungs, and other organs of the brain-dead patients: that is organ transplantation from the individual to the patient ...
It protects our vital organs, helps keep us warm, and stores calories for later use, keeping us from starving when food is scarce. White fat can sometimes be turned into brown-it's then called beige or brite ("brown in white") fat. Like brown fat, beige fat burns energy and can ...

Now this is not to say that the construction of a cell or an embryo doesn’trequireanything other DNA, but it does require theproductsof DNA. For example, how does a fertilized egg know which end is going to be the head...
Recent molecular phylogeny of deer revealed that the characters of antlers previously focused on are homoplasious, and antlers tend to be considered problematic for classification. However, we think antlers are important tools and reconsidered and analys
Results:We revisited the recovery of wings by reconstructing a phylogeny based on a comprehensive taxon sample of over 500 representative phasmatodean species to infer the evolutionary history of wings. We additionally explored the presence of ocelli, the photoreceptive organs used for flight ...
Background The Scalidophora (Kinorhyncha, Loricifera and Priapulida) have an important phylogenetic position as early branching ecdysozoans, yet the architecture of their nervous organ systems is notably underinvestigated. Without such information, and in the absence of a stable phylogenetic context...
