Times of debt: heterochrony and bank loans in rural Mongolia
Abstract Recent scholarship in economic anthropology examines how the intersection of multiple forms of temporality shapes the time of debt relations. This article builds on and refines these approaches by analysing debt as a social relation that ‘folds’ the time of other relations within itself.

Multiple potential roles of thymosin β4 in the growth and development of hair follicles
Abstract The hair follicle (HF) is an important mini‐organ of the skin, composed of many types of cells. Dermal papilla cells are important signalling components that guide the proliferation, upward migration and differentiation of HF stem cell progenitor cells to form other types of HF cells.

Polymorphisms in the ASMT and ADAMTS1 gene may increase litter size in goats
ASMT (acetylserotonin O‐methyltransferase) and ADAMTS1 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif) are very important for female and animal reproduction. One mutation (g.158122T>C) of ASMT gene and one mutation (g.7979477C>T) of ADAMTS1 gene were found in goats in this study, and the association between polymorphisms of ASMT or ADAMTS1 ...
