Challenges in identifying and interpreting organizational modules in morphology [PDF]
, 2017 Form is a rich concept that agglutinates information about the proportions and topological arrangement of body parts. Modularity is readily measurable in both features, the variation of proportions (variational modules) and the organization of topology ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study revealed how the osteoblastic microenvironment determines the fate of cancer cells disseminated in bone, with a focus on whether they colonize, reside in quiescence, or reactivate from dormancy. Targeting integrin signaling may offer promising strategies for preventing quiescent cancer cells reactivation and bone colonization.

Idiopathic Syringomyelia: Diagnostic Value of Cranial Morphometric Parameters
Brain SciencesBackground: Identifying the etiological factors of syringomyelia, which can cause progressive neurological deficits in the spinal cord, is critically important for both diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to assess the cranial morphometric features

Discrete and continuous character-based disparity analyses converge to the same macroevolutionary signa. A case study from captorhinids [PDF]
, 2017 The relationship between diversity and disparity during the evolutionary history of a clade provides unique insights into evolutionary radiations and the biological response to bottlenecks and to extinctions.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Polycarbonate nanogels enable lipid‐free delivery of anti‐MFAP‐5 siRNA into cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAF) in hepatocellular carcinoma. In a cirrhotic murine model, this approach silences MFAP‐5, reduces fibroblast activation, and suppresses tumor growth by inhibiting NOTCH/Hes1‐driven angiogenesis. CAF‐targeted MFAP‐5 RNAi and conserved signaling

Evaluating Inflorescence Morphology in Two Species and Subspecies of the Genus Hierochloë R. Brown
Plants(1) The primary objective was to determine whether, within this taxonomically challenging group, the closely related European species and their subspecies exhibit distinct inflorescence characters that allow for unambiguous differentiation.

Development of virtual morphometric globes using Blender
, 2015 Virtual globes - programs implementing interactive three-dimensional (3D) models of planets - are increasingly used in geosciences. Global morphometric models can be useful for tectonic and planetary studies.

The evolution of sperm morphometry in pheasants [PDF]
, 2007 Postcopulatory sexual selection is thought to be a potent evolutionary force driving the diversification of sperm shape and function across species. In birds, insemination and fertilisation are separated in time and sperm storage increases the duration

Gαi1/3 Is a Novel Regulatory Target for RANKL Signal Transduction and Osteoporosis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Osteoporosis, characterized by progressive bone loss and increased fracture risk, is a growing concern as the population ages. Current treatments, though advanced, remain limited, underscoring the necessity for novel therapeutic targets. Recent studies have shown that the immune system plays a key role in osteoporosis, with osteoclasts driving

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Lithium‐epigallocatechin gallate nanoparticles (Li‐EGCG NPs) are co‐transplanted with embryonic stem cell‐derived retinal ganglion cells (ESC‐RGCs) to enhance cell survival and therapeutic efficacy in an acute pathological glaucomatous injury model. This synergistic approach protects RGC cells, preserves retinal structure and improves visual function ...
