The evolution of language : Achievement or accident? [PDF]
, 1996 The ability of human beings to exchange ideas through language is frequently cited as one of the greatest achievements of our species-indeed, one that separates us from other animals. This paper brings together the major arguments put forth in the debate

, 2014 Language is arguably one of the most salient features that distinguish humans from other animal species. However, despite the existence of a large body of relevant theoretical and empirical research, there is currently no consensus as to why language ...

The ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy as guardians of the cellular proteome
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This Perspective covers the three principles governing the crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy in cellular proteostasis: (1) a shared ubiquitin code routing substrates via shuttle factors or autophagy receptors; (2) spatial compartmentalization into phase‐separated degradation hubs and organelle‐specific modules (exemplified

Singular-plural verb stem alternation: uncovering global and local drivers of typological variation
Linguistic TypologyIn this paper, we present a comparative concept for singular-plural verb stem alternation (Sg-Pl alternation) and a systematic global survey of its presence as well as its syntactic and semantic attributes, with a denser sample in the Americas.

Innateness and culture in the evolution of language [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006 Human language arises from biological evolution, individual learning, and cultural transmission, but the interaction of these three processes has not been widely studied. We set out a formal framework for analyzing cultural transmission, which allows us to investigate how innate learning biases are related to universal properties of language.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Pre‐analytical handling critically determines liquid biopsy performance. This study defines practical best‐practice conditions for cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) and extracellular vesicle–derived DNA (evDNA), showing how processing time, storage conditions, tube type, and plasma input volume affect DNA integrity and mutation detection.

PatEvol – A pattern language for evolution in component-based software architectures [PDF]
, 2013 Modern software systems are prone to a continuous evolution under frequently varying requirements. Architecture-centric software evolution (ACSE) enables change in system structure and behavior while maintaining a global view of software to address ...

Non-adjacent dependency processing (or lack thereof) in bonobos: an artificial grammar experiment
Royal Society Open ScienceA key feature of language is our capacity to process syntactic relationships between words, whether they are directly sequential (‘adjacent dependencies’) or separated by other words (‘non-adjacent dependencies’).
