Searching for the Grand Tack in Exoplanetary Data [PDF]
A&A 688, L6 (2024)The grand tack model, more generally called the Masset and Snellgrove mechanism, is a planetary migration model whereby two giant planets via interactions with their natal disk migrated to larger orbital radii. While its relevance in our own Solar System remains in question, the fact that the Masset and Snellgrove mechanism is a general hydrodynamical ...

Local applications of myostatin-siRNA with atelocollagen increase skeletal muscle mass and recovery of muscle function. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Growing evidence suggests that small-interfering RNA (siRNA) can promote gene silencing in mammalian cells without induction of interferon synthesis or nonspecific gene suppression.

Early life functional transitions impact craniofacial morphology in osteogenesis imperfecta
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Early life behaviors have a profound role in shaping adult craniofacial morphology. During early life, all mammals undergo the dynamic transition from suckling to mastication, a period coinciding with rapid cranial biomineralization. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder that impacts the production of type I collagen, disrupts ...

Linking individual variation in facial musculature to facial behavior in rhesus macaques
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Facial expression is a key component of primate communication, and primates (including humans) have a complex system of facial musculature underpinning this behavior. Human facial musculature is highly variable across individuals, but to date, whether other primate species exhibit a similar level of inter‐individual variation is unknown ...

Reduced masticatory function is related to lower satellite cell numbers in masseter muscle [PDF]
, 2017 The physiology of masseter muscles is known to change in response to functional demands, but the effect on the satellite cell (SC) population is not known.
