Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Ab-GALFA, A bioassay for insect gall formation using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana

Scientific Reports, 2023
Insect galls are abnormal plant organs formed by gall-inducing insects to provide shelter and nutrients for themselves. Although insect galls are spatialized complex structures with unique shapes and functions, the molecular mechanism of the gall ...

Interplay between carotenoids, abscisic acid and jasmonate guides the compatible rice-Meloidogyne graminicola interaction [PDF]

, 2017
In this study, we have characterized the role of carotenoids and chlorophyll in the compatible interaction between the sedentary root knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne graminicola and the monocot model plant rice (Oryza sativa). Previous transcriptome data

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

SPARCL1 and NT‐proBNP as biomarkers of right ventricular‐to‐pulmonary artery uncoupling in pulmonary hypertension

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1416-1426, April 2025.
Abstract Aims SPARCL1 was recently identified as a biomarker of right ventricular (RV) maladaptation in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), and N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic protein (NT‐proBNP) is an established biomarker of RV failure in PH. The present study investigated whether NT‐proBNP and SPARCL1 concentrations are associated with load ...

Innovative technique of corking the lumen of an intraoperatively decompressed turgid gall bladder with surgical gauze to prevent gall bladder stone/bile spillage during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Journal of Minimal Access Surgery
Technical difficulties are often encountered in a laparoscopic cholecystectomy where a tense/distended/ turgid gall bladder prevents the surgeon from grasping the gall bladder properly which therefore necessitates the decompression of the turgid gall ...

The In Vitro Transgenic Rodent Assay in Primary MutaMouse Hepatocytes Compared to the Mammalian Cell Gene Mutation Assay Using the HPRT Gene

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gene mutations can be detected in mammalian cells in vitro using indicator genes such as the hypoxanthine‐guanine‐phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) gene. These assays have been adopted as OECD test guidelines (TG, e.g., OECD TG no. 476) and are used for regulatory purposes.
