Early life origins of lung ageing : early life exposures and lung function decline in adulthood in two European cohorts aged 28-73 years [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Early life environment is essential for lung growth and maximally attained lung function. Whether early life exposures impact on lung function decline in adulthood, an indicator of lung ageing, has scarcely been studied.; Spirometry data from two time ...

Origins of building blocks of life: A review

open access: yesGeoscience Frontiers, 2017
How and where did life on Earth originate? To date, various environments have been proposed as plausible sites for the origin of life. However, discussions have focused on a limited stage of chemical evolution, or emergence of a specific chemical ...

Which way to life? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
If the emergence of life is seen as the evolutionary transition between the nonliving and the living, then it may be meaningless to draw a strict line between these two worlds. A comparison between the metabolic and geneticfirst originoflife proposals is

On A Hypothetical Mechanism of Interstellar Life Transfer Trough Nomadic Objects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Lethal radiation, low vacuum pressure and low temperatures – this is how space welcomes organisms. Crossing of immense interstellar distances inflates the exposure time of biological material to harmful space conditions.

RNA Back and Forth: Looking through Ribozyme and Viroid Motifs

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Current cellular facts allow us to follow the link from chemical to biochemical metabolites, from the ancient to the modern world. In this context, the “RNA world„ hypothesis proposes that early in the evolution of life, the ribozyme was ...
