Variation in habitat choice and delayed reproduction: Adaptive queuing strategies or individual quality differences? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In most species, some individuals delay reproduction or occupy inferior breeding positions. The queue hypothesis tries to explain both patterns by proposing that individuals strategically delay breeding (queue) to acquire better breeding or social ...

Inducible overexpression of porcine homeobox A10 in the endometrium of transgenic mice

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2016
Homeobox A10 (HOXA10) is a well-known transcription factor that plays an important role in directing endometrial differentiation and establishing the conditions required for implantation.

Do grandparents compete with or support their grandchildren? In Guatemala, paternal grandmothers may compete, and maternal grandmothers may cooperate [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2016
Previous research has found that the presence of grandparents, particularly grandmothers, is often positively associated with child survival. Little research has explored the potential mechanisms driving these associations.

The Mating Pattern of Captive Naked Mole-Rats Is Best Described by a Monogamy Model

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Naked mole-rats form colonies with a single reproductively active female surrounded by subordinate workers. Workers perform offspring care, construction and defense of the burrow system, and food supply.

No sex-biased dispersal in a primate with an uncommon social system-cooperative polyandry. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
An influential hypothesis proposed by Greenwood (1980) suggests that different mating systems result in female and male-biased dispersal, respectively, in birds and mammals.

Mapping Nairobi's dairy food system: An essential analysis for policy, industry and research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Demand for dairy products in sub-Saharan Africa, is expected to triple by 2050, while limited increase in supply is predicted. This poses significant food security risk to low income households.

Basroparib inhibits YAP‐driven cancers by stabilizing angiomotin

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Basroparib, a selective tankyrase inhibitor, suppresses Wnt signaling and attenuates YAP‐driven oncogenic programs by stabilizing angiomotin. It promotes AMOT–YAP complex formation, enforces cytoplasmic YAP sequestration, inhibits YAP/TEAD transcription, and sensitizes YAP‐active cancers, including KRAS‐mutant colorectal cancer, to MEK inhibition.

Breeding ecology of two sympatric laughingthrushes (Trochalopteron milnei and Garrulax berthemyi) in southwestern China

open access: yesAvian Research, 2022
Here we documented up-to-date information on breeding ecology of Buffy Laughingthrush (Garrulax berthemyi), an endemic species of China, and a sympatric coordinal Red-tailed Laughingthrush (Trochalopteron milnei), in southwestern China.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...
