Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON NEUROMOTOR DEVELOPMENT IN TWINS [PDF]

Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov: Series IX Sciences of Human Kinetics, 2018
Twins are a valuable source of observation, being considered a key instrument in scientific fields such as genetics, biology, or psychology. The literature suggests that the hereditary and environmental influences can be assessed by comparing twin ...

Do Parents Propagate Inequality Among Children? Evidence From Chinese and Swedish Twins

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Economists have long studied how parental behavior shapes within‐family inequality, yet empirical findings remain mixed. Using twins data from China and Sweden, we examine the predominant mechanisms reported in the literature. Parents in both countries invest similarly during childhood.

Simultaneous cloacogenic carcinoma in dizygotic twins [PDF]

Cancer, 1987
Dizygotic twins developed cloacogenic carcinoma of the anus almost simultaneously. The patients, although separated from the time they were 20-years-old, had very similar life styles. There are several reports in the medical literature of synchronous tumors in mono and dizygotic twins.

Indirect genetic effects of siblings

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Within‐family designs are increasingly used to decompose genotype–trait associations into direct and indirect genetic effects. Many such designs, including trio designs or within‐sibship designs, assume an absence of sibling indirect genetic effects.

A study of diabetes mellitus within a large sample of Australian twins. [PDF]

, 2008
Udgivelsesdato: 2008-FebTwin studies of diabetes mellitus can help elucidate genetic and environmental factors in etiology and can provide valuable biological samples for testing functional hypotheses, for example using expression and methylation studies

Anthropometric differences between twins at birth and their association with later cognitive performance

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Past studies indicate significant associations between birth anthropometrics, such as relative birthweight or head circumference, and later cognitive performance. Using twin data, we investigated whether these associations are confounded by genetic and environmental factors.

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes
