The influence of leg-to-body ratio, arm-to-body ratio and intra-limb ratio on male human attractiveness [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Human mate choice is influenced by limb proportions. Previous work has focused on leg-to-body ratio (LBR) as a determinant of male attractiveness and found a preference for limbs that are close to, or slightly above, the average.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Two nouns in partitives: evidence from Japanese

Glossa, 2017
We consider the proposal that partitives always contain two positions for nouns which may be filled by silent material from the perspective of Japanese.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Logical proportions - Further investigations

, 2012
Logical proportions may be viewed as a Boolean counterpart of the notion of numerical proportions. They relate two pairs of binary variables, say (a,b) and (c, d), by stating the conjunction of two equivalences between similarity or dissimilarity ...

Use of logit transformation within statistical analyses of experimental results obtained as proportions: example of method validation experiments and EQA in flow cytometry

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences
In laboratory medicine, measurement results are often expressed as proportions of concentrations or counts. These proportions have distinct mathematical properties that can lead to unexpected results when conventional parametric statistical methods are ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

TRAIL‐PEG‐Apt‐PLGA nanosystem as an aptamer‐targeted drug delivery system potential for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy using in vivo mouse model

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.
