Primordial RNA Replication and Applications in PCR Technology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The emergence of self-replication and information transmission in life's origin remains unexplained despite extensive research on the topic. A hypothesis explaining the transition from a simple organic world to a complex RNA world is offered here based ...

The Origin of Life: Models and Data. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A general framework for conventional models of the origin of life (OOL) is the specification of a 'privileged function.' A privileged function is an extant biological function that is excised from its biological context, elevated in importance over other

The Role of Oxidative Stress in Periodontitis

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Oxidative stress is involved in multiple chemical reactions that take place in different intracellular organelles: mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, autophagy, and aging, and can be influenced by exogenous factors: nutrition, physical activity, psychological status, environmental conditions, microbiome, and drugs.

Vision in hydrothermal vent shrimp

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2000
Bresiliid shrimp from hydrothermal vents on the Mid–Atlantic Ridge have non–imaging eyes adapted for photodetection in light environments of very low intensity. Comparison of retinal structures between both vent shrimp and surface–dwelling shrimp with imaging eyes, and between juvenile and adult vent shrimp, suggests that vent shrimp have evolved from ...

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

The Control of End‐Member Iron‐to‐Sulfide Ratios on Hydrothermal Plume Geochemistry at the Rainbow, Broken Spur, and Lost City Vent Fields in the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The Mid‐Atlantic Ridge (MAR) represents a unique tectonic environment hosting distinct hydrothermal vent fields. Considering the growing interest in understanding the role of hydrothermal vents in both local and global ocean systems, the MAR offers an ...

Voltammetric Investigation Of Hydrothermal Iron Speciation

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2016
Hydrothermal vent fluids are highly enriched in iron (Fe) compared to ambient seawater, and organic ligands may play a role in facilitating the transport of some hydrothermal Fe into the open ocean.

Evidence of Vent-Adaptation in Sponges Living at the Periphery of Hydrothermal Vent Environments: Ecological and Evolutionary Implications

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The peripheral areas of deep-sea hydrothermal vents are often inhabited by an assemblage of animals distinct to those living close to vent chimneys.
