I BEG to remark with reference to Mr. W. Hammond Tooke's letter on mimicry in snakes (NATURE, October 7, p. 547) that I stated a case of mimicry in snakes in the year 1869 (see also Proceedings of the Zoological Society, 1870, p. 368), and that I recently published a short paper on Adeniophis, which again treats the case.

Multi-terminal HVDC grids with inertia mimicry capability [PDF]
The high-voltage multi-terminal dc (MTDC) systems are foreseen to experience an important development in the next years. Currently, they have appeared to be a prevailing technical and economical solution for harvesting offshore wind energy. In this study,

Cognitive dimensions of predator responses to imperfect mimicry? [PDF]
Many palatable insects, for example hoverflies, deter predators by mimicking well-defended insects such as wasps. However, for human observers, these flies often seem to be little better than caricatures of wasps – their visual appearance and ...

Rat models of autoimmune uveitis [PDF]
Experimental autoimmune uveitis ( EAU) in Lewis rats is a well-established model for human uveitis. During the last years we used this model to demonstrate extraocular induction of uveitis by antigenic mimicry of environmental antigens with retinal ...

Escaping Antiangiogenic Therapy: Strategies Employed by Cancer Cells [PDF]
Indexación: Web of ScienceTumor angiogenesis is widely recognized as one of the hallmarks of cancer. Consequently, during the last decades the development and testing of commercial angiogenic inhibitors has been a central focus for both basic and ...

Natural, un-natural and detached mimicry [PDF]
Natural mimicry is ubiquitous. Plants mimic animals, animals mimic plants, animals mimic each other and animals may even mimic counterfactual states that deceive or distract other animals.

Molecular Mimicry and Uveitis [PDF]
Molecular or antigenic mimicry is a term for the similarity of different antigens, which can be confused by the immune system. Antigen recognition by antibodies and T cell receptors is specific, but not restricted to a single antigen. Both types of receptors specifically recognize antigens and are expressed with a very high but still restricted ...

Infectious diseases and autoimmunity [PDF]
Introduction: Autoimmunity occurs when the immune system recognizes and attacks host tissue. In addition to genetic factors, environmental triggers (in particular viruses, bacteria and other infectious pathogens) are thought to play a major role in the ...

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.
