Sex Reversal in Amphibians [PDF]
Sexual Development, 2016 Amphibians have been widely used to study developmental biology due to the fact that embryo development takes place independently of the maternal organism and that observations and experimental approaches are easy. Some amphibians like <i>Xenopus</i> became model organisms in this field.

An overview of the postcranial osteology of caecilians (Gymnophiona, Lissamphibia)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Caecilians comprise a relatively small (~220 species) group (Gymnophiona) of snake‐like or worm‐like, mostly tropical amphibians. Most adult caecilians are fossorial, although some species may live in aquatic or semi‐aquatic environments, either as larvae or adults.

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Yeasts belonging to the genus Rhodotorula are capable of synthesizing carotenoids, such as β‐carotene, γ‐carotene, torulene, torularodine, and astaxanthin. These carotenoids have been shown to offer health benefits to humans, such as immune system strengthening and a reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases.

Chemically Synthesized LRAD3‐D1 Interacts with N‐terminal Domain of SARS‐CoV‐2 Spike Protein
ChemBioChem, Accepted Article.Growing evidence of post‐COVID neurological complications, such as encephalopathy, neurodegeneration, and cognitive impairment, suggests SARS‐CoV‐2 viral infection into the central nervous system (CNS). Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of viral entry into the CNS, where human angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 is barely expressed, is critical for ...
