MALDI-MS argininyl bufadienolide esters fingerprint from parotoid gland secretions of Rhinella arenarum : age, gender and seasonal variation [PDF]

, 2018
In many amphibians, the granular glands can be grouped in special regions forming macroglands. This is the case of toads, characterized by the presence of a pair of parotoid macroglands, strategically located to give protection by poison release in case ...

Affinity Peptides With pH Sensitivity for the Enrichment of CD38+ Cells

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The selective enrichment of cell populations based on surface markers is critical for the advancement of gene and cell therapies. Current antibody‐based cell isolation methods, such as fluorescence‐ and magnetic‐activated cell sorting (FACS and MACS), offer high specificity but are limited by scalability, cost, and potential adverse effects on

Feeding Mechanisms in Anuran Tadpoles [PDF]

Nature, 1950
I CAN confirm that the method of mucous cord feeding referred to by Dodd1 plays a part in the natural lives of tadpoles of Rana temporaria, Bufo bufo and Bombina variegata living under natural or semi-natural conditions. It is, however, remarkable that among the many tadpoles which have been examined, definite mucous cords have been seen in only a few.

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

A neuro‐behavioural model of neophobia

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fear can be defined as the internal neurological state that releases a repertoire of behaviours an animal performs to reduce the effect of an aversive factor. Neophobia, the fear of novelty, is a fundamental behavioural trait observed across a wide range of species from arthropods to humans.

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...

Mauthner‘s Cells in the Larvæ of Anuran Amphibia [PDF]

Nature, 1947
THE cells of Mauthner occur in the medulla oblongata of many teleost fishes, Dipnoi and urodele Amphibia, where they have been widely studied. On the other hand, their occurrence in the larvae of anuran Amphibia has been disputed for many years, and to judge from the literature most attempts to find them have failed.
