Balamuthia mandrillaris: Morphology, biology, and virulence.
Trop Parasitol, 2015 Balamuthia mandrillaris is a protist pathogen that can cause encephalitis with a fatality rate of >95%. This is due to our incomplete understanding of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of B. mandrillaris encephalitis. B. mandrillaris has two stages in its life cycle, an active trophozoite stage during which it divides mitotically.

Five wild-growing Artemisia (Asteraceae) species from Serbia and Montenegro: Essential oil composition and its chemophenetic significance [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2021 In this work, the essential oils (EOs) obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of five Artemisia species: A. alba Turra, A. pontica L., A. scoparia Waldst. & Kitam., A. vulgaris L., originating from Serbia and A. umbelliformis Lam.

Morphology and Biology of Reptiles [PDF]
Copeia, 1978 tion. Since nine-banded armadillos are born in litters of genetically identical quadruplets, there is no genetic variation within families. Therefore, there can be no selection within families as a result of interactions between sibs. The hypothetical evolution of strong sib altruism in the nine-banded armadillo would have to occur by selection at the ...

Molecular insights into the axon guidance molecules Sidestep and Beaten path
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The transmembrane protein Sidestep (Side) functions as a substrate-bound attractant for motor axons in Drosophila. Outgrowing motor axons recognize Side via Beaten path Ia (Beat) and migrate along Side-expressing tissues.

Intersexual chemo-sensation in a “visually-oriented” lizard, Anolis sagrei [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 While the conspicuous visual displays of anoles have been studied in great depth, the possibility that these lizards may also interact through chemical signalling has received hardly any consideration.

The brown anole dewlap revisited: do predation pressure, sexual selection, and species recognition shape among-population signal diversity? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Animal signalling structures are amongst the most variable characteristics, as they are subjected to a diversity of selection pressures. A well-known example of a diverse signalling system in the animal kingdom is the dewlap of Anolis lizards.

Cells, 2021 The 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO) is a key mitochondrial target by which different TSPO ligands exert neuroprotective effects. We assayed the neurogenic potential of TSPO to induce the neuronal differentiation of pluripotent P19 stem cells in vitro.

Antioxidants, 2023 Leptin is critically compromised in the major common forms of obesity. Skeletal muscle is the main effector tissue for energy modification that occurs as a result of the effect of endocrine axes, such as leptin signaling.

Development of hypobranchial muscles with special reference to the evolution of the vertebrate neck
Zoological Letters, 2018 Background The extant vertebrates include cyclostomes (lamprey and hagfish) and crown gnathostomes (jawed vertebrates), but there are various anatomical disparities between these two groups. Conspicuous in the gnathostomes is the neck, which occupies the
