There is no pulp necrosis or calcific metamorphosis of pulp induced by orthodontic treatment: biological basis [PDF]
Dental Press Journal of Orthodontics, 2018 To biologically explain why the orthodontic treatment does not induce pulp necrosis and calcific metamorphosis of the pulp, this paper presents explanations based on pulp physiology, microscopy and pathology, and especially the cell and tissue phenomena ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2023 Why is metamorphosis so pervasive? Does it facilitate the independent (micro)evolution of quantitative traits in distinct life stages, similarly to how it enables some limbs and organs to develop at specific life stages? We tested this hypothesis by measuring the expression of 6400 genes in 41 Drosophila melanogaster

Regenerative metamorphosis in hairs and feathers: follicle as a programmable biological printer [PDF]
Experimental Dermatology, 2015 Present-day hairs and feathers are marvels of biological engineering perfected over 200 million years of convergent evolution. Prominently, both follicle types coevolved regenerative cycling, wherein active filament making (anagen) is intermitted by a phase of relative quiescence (telogen).

Inducing metamorphosis in the irukandji jellyfish Carukia barnesi
Scientific Reports, 2022 Here we utilize chemical ecology as a tool to manipulate the biological system of a small, but highly venomous to humans, cubozoan jellyfish, Carukia barnesi.

Cells, 2021 Vertebrate postembryonic development is regulated by thyroid hormone (T3). Of particular interest is anuran metamorphosis, which offers several unique advantages for studying the role of T3 and its two nuclear receptor genes, TRα and TRβ, during ...

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 Thyroid hormones (THs) regulate tissue remodeling processes during early- and post-embryonic stages in vertebrates. The Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is a neotenic species that has lost the ability to undergo metamorphosis; however, it can be ...

eLifeMost teleost fishes exhibit a biphasic life history with a larval oceanic phase that is transformed into morphologically and physiologically different demersal, benthic, or pelagic juveniles. This process of transformation is characterized by a myriad of

Virus Membrane Fusion Proteins: Biological Machines that Undergo a Metamorphosis
Bioscience Reports, 2000 Fusion proteins from a group of widely disparate viruses, including the paramyxovirus F protein, the HIV and SIV gp160 proteins, the retroviral Env protein, the Ebola virus Gp, and the influenza virus haemagglutinin, share a number of common features. All contain multiple glycosylation sites, and must be trimeric and undergo proteolytic cleavage to be ...
