The quantitative genetic basis of female and male body size and their implications on the evolution of body size dimorphism in the house cricket Acheta domesticus (Gryllidae)

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2005
Few theoretical and experimental studies have analyzed the genetic basis of body size dimorphism. Since the evolutionary response to selection depends of the genetic variance in a population it is to be expected that traits under selection would have ...

Deregulation of the Kallikrein Protease Family in the Salivary Glands of the Sjögren’s Syndrome ERdj5 Knockout Mouse Model

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
IntroductionThe purpose of this study was to identify differentially expressed proteins in salivary glands of the ERdj5 knockout mouse model for Sjögren’s syndrome and to elucidate possible mechanisms for the morbid phenotype development.

Sexual dimorphism in Hofbauer cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Sexual dimorphism is defined as the existing differences between individuals of different genders in features other than gender itself. In addition to well described differences in physical traits, reproductive organs, or hormones the term also indicates

Sexual Dimorphism of the Second Cervical Vertebra in Humans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
The pelvis and skull are frequently examined for the expression of sex-linked traits as are the humeral and femoral head dimensions. The second vertebra allows for rotation of the head, which is larger in males than in females.

Differential Gene Expression of Mucor lusitanicus under Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditions

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2022
Mucor lusitanicus and some other members of the fungal order Mucorales display the phenomenon of morphological dimorphism. This means that these fungi aerobically produce filamentous hyphae, developing a coenocytic mycelium, but they grow in a multipolar

Dimorphism and virulence in fungi [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Microbiology, 2007
The signature feature of systemic dimorphic fungi - a family of six primary fungal pathogens of humans - is a temperature-induced phase transition. These fungi grow as a mold in soil at ambient temperature and convert to yeast after infectious spores are inhaled into the lungs of a mammalian host.

Volatile Fingerprint Mediates Yeast-to-Mycelial Conversion in Two Strains of Beauveria bassiana Exhibiting Varied Virulence

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2023
Beauveria bassiana is a dimorphic and entomopathogenic fungus with different ecological roles in nature. In pathogenic fungi, yeast-to-mycelial conversion, which is controlled by environmental factors, is required for virulence.

Sexual dimorphism in autoimmunity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2015
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks and destroys the organs and tissues of its own host. Autoimmunity is the third most common type of disease in the United States. Because there is no cure for autoimmunity, it is extremely important to study the mechanisms that trigger these diseases.

Variation in sexual dimorphism and assortative mating do not predict genetic divergence in the sexually dimorphic Goodeid fish Girardinichthys multiradiatus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Sexual dimorphism is often used as a proxy for the intensity of sexual selection in comparative studies of sexual selection and diversification. The Mexican Goodeinae are a group of livebearing freshwater fishes with large variation between species in ...
