Integration of physiological mechanisms that influence fertility in dairy cows*

open access: yesAnimal, 2008
Fertility in dairy cows has been declining for the past three decades. Genetic selection for increased milk production has been associated with changes in key metabolic hormones (growth hormone, insulin, IGF and leptin) that regulate metabolism by ...

Transcriptome analysis and physiological indicators reveal the role of physiological integration in heterogeneous cadmium and phenanthrene stress in Zoysia japonica

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionCadmium (Cd) and phenanthrene (Phe) stress inhibit plant growth and physiological metabolism. Zoysia japonica is a perennial clonal turfgrass widely used in lawns, sports fields, and urban landscapes, where it is frequently exposed to ...

Physiology in Perspective: Structure and Function—Anatomy and Physiology Are Integral [PDF]

open access: yesPhysiology, 2017
“Anatomy is to physiology as geography is to history; it describes the theatre of events.” This quote is from Jean Francois Fernel, the 16th-century French physician who introduced the term physiology to describe the study of the body's function.

Geographic and habitat origin influence biomass production and storage translocation in the clonal plant Aegopodium podagraria.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Through physiological integration, clonal plants can support ramets in unfavourable patches, exploit heterogeneously distributed resources and distribute resources that are taken up over large areas.

Integration of Fibroblast-Populated Collagen Lattices and Perfusable Micro-Physiological Systems: A Mechanobiologically Unified Framework for Living Devices

open access: yesMicromachines
This review proposes mechanical crosstalk between stromal tension and vascular shear/flow as a unifying principle for integrating fibroblast-populated collagen lattices (FPCLs) with perfusable micro-physiological systems (MPSs).

Enhancing prediction of human traits and behaviors through ensemble learning of traditional and novel resting-state fMRI connectivity analyses

open access: yesNeuroImage
Recent advances in cognitive neuroscience have focused on using resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) data from fMRI scans to more accurately predict human traits and behaviors. Traditional approaches generally analyze RSFC by correlating averaged
