Ectodermal dysplasia in identical twins

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2013
Hereditary hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is typically inherited as an X-linked recessive trait, characterized by deformity of at least two or more of the ectodermal structures - hair, teeth, nails and sweat glands.

The Mathematics (and Metaphysics) of Identical Twins. [PDF]

open access: yesLinacre Q, 2020
The metaphysics of early embryos is a hotly debated topic in contemporary bioethics and metaphysics. Many contemporary Aristotelians believe that a human being is present from the moment of conception. At the same time, certain findings in modern embryology about the formation of identical twins challenge this belief. It becomes much harder when these
