Dose selection for intracerebroventricular cerliponase alfa in children with CLN2 disease, translation from animal to human in a rare genetic disease

Clinical and Translational Science, 2021
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2 disease) is an ultra‐rare pediatric neurodegenerative disorder characterized by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme tripeptidyl peptidase‐1 (TPP1).

Allometric scaling and allocation patterns: Implications for predicting productivity across plant communities

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
As the application of allometry continues to expand, the variability in the allometry exponent has generated a great deal of debate in forest ecology. Some studies have reported counterintuitive values of the exponent, but the sources of such values have

Histovariability and fossil diagenesis of Pissarrachampsa (Pseudosuchia, Notosuchia, Baurusuchidae) from the Upper Cretaceous of Southeast Brazil

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Notosuchians were key components of western Gondwanan Cretaceous ecosystems in terrestrial predator niches and exhibited remarkable taxonomic and ecological diversity. Previous research has explored their physiology, metabolism, and histology, revealing varied growth patterns and life history strategies.

Multiscale analysis of global variation in tree allometric relationships: parameter sets for global vegetation models

Environmental Research: Ecology
Global models of vegetation dynamics and remote sensing data products require allometric relationships governing trees’ size and shape to predict such quantities as vegetation spatial structure and biomass.

Bioelectric signaling regulates size in zebrafish fins. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2014
The scaling relationship between the size of an appendage or organ and that of the body as a whole is tightly regulated during animal development. If a structure grows at a different rate than the rest of the body, this process is termed allometric ...

Differences and allometric relationships among assimilative branch traits of four shrubs in Central Asia

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Shrubs play a major role in maintaining ecosystem stability in the arid deserts of Central Asia. During the long-term adaptation to extreme arid environments, shrubs have developed special assimilative branches that replace leaves for photosynthesis.

Integrating mandibular evidence to assess morphological variation of the Australopithecus afarensis maxilla

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Geometric morphometric analyses are used to explore variation of maxillary dental arcades of Australopithecus afarensis, expanding on the work of Hanegraef and Spoor, 2025 (Morphological variation of the Australopithecus afarensis maxilla.

Genetic mapping of allometric scaling laws

Genetical Research, 2006
Many biological processes, from cellular metabolism to population dynamics, are characterized by particular allometric scaling relationships between rate and size (power laws). A statistical model for mapping specific quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that are responsible for allometric scaling laws has been developed.

Tooth row allometry in domestic rabbits and nondomestic lagomorphs: Evidence for a decoupling of body and tooth row size changes in evolutionary time

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Domestic rabbits of different body sizes differ disproportionately in the length of their tooth row or the length of their diastema. Abstract In various domestic mammals, smaller breeds tend to have proportionally larger teeth, whereas this is not a universal trend across mammals.

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...
