Where does the cranial base flexion take place in humans? [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2020 The modern human has the most flexed cranial base among all living animals. The flexure allowed a larger cranial volume to accommodate a greater brain. Spheno-occipitalis synchondrosis (SOS) has been largely responsible for cranial base flexion, between ...

Sensors, 2021 This study investigated the whole-body coordination patterning in successful and faulty spikes using self-organising map-based cluster analysis. Ten young, elite volleyball players (aged 15.5 ± 0.7 years) performed 60 volleyball spikes in a real-game ...

Studying evolution of the primary body axis in vivo and in vitro
eLife, 2021 The metazoan body plan is established during early embryogenesis via collective cell rearrangements and evolutionarily conserved gene networks, as part of a process commonly referred to as gastrulation.

Anthropological Review, 2021 We compared the perception of two ethnic groups in relation to health, obesity and blood pressure problems and its management, and to compare the body fat patterning and blood pressure levels between Rai and Lepcha ethnic groups.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Body axial patterning develops via a rostral-to-caudal sequence and relies on the temporal colinear activation of Hox genes. However, the underlying mechanism of Hox gene temporal colinear activation remains largely elusive.

Antagonizing retinoic acid and FGF/MAPK pathways control posterior body patterning in the invertebrate chordate Ciona intestinalis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Vertebrate embryos exploit the mutual inhibition between the RA and FGF signalling pathways to coordinate the proliferative elongation of the main body axis with the progressive patterning and differentiation of its neuroectodermal and paraxial ...

Getting to the Heart of Left–Right Asymmetry: Contributions from the Zebrafish Model
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2021 The heart is laterally asymmetric. Not only is it positioned on the left side of the body but the organ itself is asymmetric. This patterning occurs across scales: at the organism level, through left–right axis patterning; at the organ level, where the ...

Patterns of body weight in the Baltic Republics [PDF]
Public Health Nutrition, 2000 AbstractObjectivePreviously recorded rates of obesity in the Baltic Republics have been among the highest in the world although little is known about how they vary within the population. This study investigates the distribution of body mass index (BMI) and obesity in these countries.DesignThree cross-sectional surveys conducted in the summer of 1997 ...

A diploblastic radiate animal at the dawn of cambrian diversification with a simple body plan: distinct from Cnidaria? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Microfossils of the genus Punctatus include developmental stages such as blastula, gastrula, and hatchlings, and represent the most complete developmental sequence of animals available from the earliest Cambrian.
