Niche occupancy of Jamaican bat caves: Diversity increases isotopic niche packing

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Tropical bat caves are home to hundreds of thousands of bats of multiple species. In Jamaica, we found that isotopic niche packing is the likely mechanism of coexistence at more diverse sites. Abstract There are over 1000 documented caves across Jamaica, many of them used by diverse communities of bats.

Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

Expression of caspase-14 and keratin-19 in the human epidermis and appendages during fetal skin development

, 2013
Caspase-14 is a seemingly non-apoptotic caspase involved in keratinocyte differentiation and cornification of the skin. Keratin-19 is an epithelial marker and a potential marker of epidermal stem cells that is expressed during human fetal skin ...

Anaerobic Process for Biohydrogen Production using Keratin Degraded Effluent

, 2019
Fossil fuel energy depletion and removal of environmental wastes are big problem in many countries. Some of the wastes contain a considerable amount of protein and carbon compounds; little concentration is given to utilizing or recycling these wastes ...

Emollient Formulations and Skin Barrier Practices in the Context of Eczema and Food Allergy Prevention

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The skin is far from a passive shield; it functions as a dynamic “living barrier” whose structural and immunological integrity is paramount in preventing atopic dermatitis (AD) and the subsequent progression of the atopic march toward food allergy (FA).

High keratinase and other types of hydrolase activity of the new strain of Bacillus paralicheniformis.

PLoS ONE
Keratinases, a subclass of proteases, are used to degrade keratin thereby forming peptones and free amino acids. Bacillus paralicheniformis strain T7 was isolated from soil and exhibited high keratinase, protease, collagenase, amylase, xylanase, lipase ...

Loss of Keratin 19 predisposes to the development of cholestatic liver disease

, 2014
Keratins (K) are cytoprotective proteins and keratin mutations predispose to development of multiple human diseases. K19 represents the most widely used biliary and liver progenitor cell (LPC) marker. Since K19 variants were found in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), we investigated the role of K19 in cholangiocytes and LPCs. K19 wild-type

Eif3k Regulates Apoptosis in Epithelial Cells by Releasing Caspase 3 from Keratin-Containing Inclusions

, 2009
Keratins 8 and 18 (collectively referred to as K8/K18) are the major components of intermediate filaments of simple epithelial cells. Recent studies have revealed the function of K8/K18 in apoptosis modulation.

Differential Roles for IL‐4Rα and IL‐13Rα1 in Immune Cell Infiltration and Epithelial Remodeling in Experimental Eosinophilic Gastritis

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study described the development of an experimental model for eosinophilic gastritis (EoG). Experimental EoG recapitulates histopathological features of human disease. including foveolar elongation, fibrosis, eosinophilia, mastocytosis and shared transcriptional programs.
