Behavioral and Physiological Adaptation to Soil Moisture in the Overwintering Larvae of the Rice Stem Borer in the Subtropics

Agriculture, 2023
Diapausing larvae of the rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis Walker, overwinter in rice stubble. During overwintering, the larvae may move to sites with suitable moisture and undergo physiological changes to prepare for the declining temperature.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

The Use of Myocardial Work in Athletes: A Novel Approach to Assess Cardiac Adaptations and Differentiate Physiological Remodeling from Pathology

Applied Sciences
Myocardial work (MW), derived from non-invasive pressure–strain loop (PSL) analysis, has recently emerged as a promising echocardiographic index for assessing left ventricular performance.

Photochemical, Anatomical, and Growth Changes in Cassava Cultivars after Application of Post-Emergent Herbicides

Agriculture, 2022
Plants develop a series of adaptive mechanisms capable of tolerating the action of herbicides; however, little is known about the physiological mechanisms developed by cassava.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Electrophysiological Heterogeneity of Fast-Spiking Interneurons: Chandelier versus Basket Cells [PDF]

, 2013
In the prefrontal cortex, parvalbumin-positive inhibitory neurons play a prominent role in the neural circuitry that subserves working memory, and alterations in these neurons contribute to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.

Physiological responses of children with surgically corrected congenital heart disease during high-altitude trekking: an exploratory observational study

Frontiers in Pediatrics
BackgroundChildren with surgically corrected congenital heart disease (CHD) are often perceived as fragile and discouraged from engaging in physical activity, despite evidence that structured exercise improves functional capacity and quality of life ...

Functional Genomics Uncovers Pleiotropic Role of Rhomboids in Corynebacterium glutamicum

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The physiological role of ubiquitous rhomboid proteases, membrane-integral proteins that cleave their substrates inside the lipid bilayer, is still ill-defined in many prokaryotes.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Physiological adaptation in savanna ungulates [PDF]

Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 1997
Savannas lie between the equatorial rain forests and the semi-deserts of the southern continents. From the herbivore’s viewpoint, the savanna environment is characterized by a mixture of herbaceous and woody vegetation, varying in quantity and growth stage according to the seasonal cycle of rainfall. C4 grasses (i.e.
