Características histológicas del útero de Sympterygia acuta (Garman, 1877) y Sympterygia bonapartii (Müller & Henle, 1841) (Chondrichthyes; Rajidae) [PDF]
Los condrictios constituyen un clado sumamente conservado y vulnerable a la explotación, que ha cobrado una importancia creciente en los últimos años. Sin embargo, existe poca información sobre los aspectos morfológicos relacionados con la reproducción ...

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Understanding infant feeding choice from the Great Depression to the baby boom in the U.S. [PDF]
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to describe the rates of and factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding (XBR), exclusive breast feeding + breast and bottle-feeding (Ever BR), and of exclusive bottle-feeding (XBOT) from 1925-1964 among ...

Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Distinct Bacterial Microbiomes in Sexual and Asexual Potamopyrgus antipodarum, a New Zealand Freshwater Snail. [PDF]
Different reproductive strategies and the transition to asexuality can be associated with microbial symbionts. Whether such a link exists within mollusks has never been evaluated.

Reproductive modes and strategies in vertebrate evolution [PDF]
Abstract Vertebrate reproductive modes, which are characterized by egg and development type, have been compared and, in some cases, re-defined. Reproductive strategies regulate reproductive effort. Reproductive modes and strategies have been selected in species history: more anciently and with more conservative characters the former; more recently and ...

Risk-Taking Behavior and Its Impact on Treatment, Vaccination and Diagnosing [PDF]
We present results from two recent mathematical biology studies that address the effect of risk-taking behavior on epidemic models. We show that when risk-taking prevails over riskavoidance, it is possible to show a detrimental and counterintuitive ...

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality control‐associated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10
Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitin‐like modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulum–ribosome quality control (ER‐RQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ER‐RQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...

Ultrasonography of the neotropical primate female reproductive system
The Neotropical (e. g., Aotus sp., Callithrix jacchus, Saguinus sp., Saimiri sp., and Sapajus sp.) primates are important models for biomedical research and studies on reproductive physiology and biotechnology.
