Invasive plants optimize leaf nitrogen allocation in photosynthesis
Summary Invasive plants often outcompete co‐occurring native species by expressing acquisitive functional traits that promote high photosynthetic capacity. However, it remains unclear whether these traits are newly evolved in the introduced (‘away’) range or if invaders arrived preadapted with superior traits from their native (‘home’) range.

Human α2‐Macroglobulin: Architecture, Mechanisms, and Functional Implications
Visual representation of human α2‐macroglobulin in its native and induced conformations. General functions associated with the native form (green), the induced form (white), and both conformations (light red) are indicated. ABSTRACT α2‐Macroglobulin (α2M) is a large glycoprotein and one of the most abundant proteins found in the plasma of vertebrates ...

Substrate for Thyroid Hormone Synthesis: Biochemistry, Evolution, and Physiology
Two proposed sequence of events for thyroxine formation in patients expressing mutant thyroglobulin. (A) (1) TSH stimulation drives expression of misfolded TG. (2) Unremitting ER stress. (3) Stress‐induced cell death. (4) Dead thyrocytes release their contents. (5) The contents become iodinated. (6) Forming thyroxine.

Abstract Background Gastrolith ingestion is a known inherent behaviour in crocodiles. However, the interpretation of coelomic radiographs in crocodilians is challenging due to the limited informative literature in this field. Methods Dorsoventral coelomic radiographs of 49 juvenile saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) were acquired twice, with an ...
