Motor Cortex Hyperexcitability Is Coupled to Neuromuscular Dysfunction in Aged Mice. [PDF]

Aging Cell
Aged mice exhibited impaired motor behavior and neuromuscular hypoexcitability, yet cortical output to muscle was enhanced, and motor cortex layer V pyramidal neurons were hyperexcitable, with altered synaptic inputs and excitability‐related transcriptional changes.

Climate Change Exposure and Firms' Biodiversity Impact Reduction Strategy

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how climate change exposure shapes long‐run biodiversity disclosure strategies, for instance, by informing efforts to reduce biodiversity impacts and by contributing to the existing environment and strategy literature in various ways. First, this paper adds insight into horizon issues related to climate change and shows

PPRs and cpRNPs

, 2015
Die Genexpressionsmaschinerie in Chloroplasten und Mitochondrien und die ihrer prokaryotischen Vorläufer sind konserviert. Innerhalb eines bakteriellen Grundgerüsts entwickelte sich darüber hinaus ein komplexer RNA-Metabolismus. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird eine neue Klasse kleiner RNAs (15-50nt) mit plastidärem und mitochondrialen Ursprung ...
