Cyclical Parthenogenesis in Crustaceans [PDF]

, 2018
Apomixis is the replacement of sexual reproduction with asexual reproduction in plants. Some scientists hypothesize that apomixis is caused by genetics that evolved after sexual reproduction and apomixis mutated from sexual reproduction.

Altered Neural Activity in the Mesoaccumbens Pathway Underlies Impaired Social Reward Processing in Shank3‐Deficient Rats

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study examines the effects of Shank3 mutation on the mesoaccumbens pathway using a Shank3‐deficient rat model. The findings reveal altered social reward processing in these rats, accompanied by changes in dopaminergic and GABAergic neural activity within the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and dopamine release in the nucleus accumbense (NAc ...

Attitudes and beliefs about family and domestic violence in faith‐based communities: An exploratory qualitative study

Australian Journal of Social Issues, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 880-897, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Family and domestic violence (FDV) is a major social, economic and health issue that is associated with a range of physical, mental and behavioural health outcomes. Religion and faith are powerful and influential in shaping the lives of many individuals and societies, in addition to the social practices, norms and structures that are ...

Viewpoints on apornictic and sexual reproduction in angiosperms

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
Gametophytic apomixis implies different changes of the reproductive cycle of sexual plants. Each of these "elements of apomixis" occurs in sexual plants, which may even display functional diploid parthenogenesis.

Identification of Tumor‐Specific Surface Proteins Enables Quantification of Extracellular Vesicle Subtypes for Early Detection of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) extracellular vesicle (EV) surface protein assay operates via a two‐step workflow – Step 1: Click chemistry‐mediated enrichment of PDAC EVs by EV Click Beads, in the presence of one of the three trans‐cyclooctene‐grafted PDAC EV‐specific antibodies; Step 2: Quantification of the enriched PDAC EVs by reverse ...

Housing the homeless: How revisiting the 1940s assists the struggle

Australian Journal of Social Issues, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 798-811, December 2022., 2022
Abstract A major obstacle in the political work of housing the homeless is convincing voters and lawmakers that housing is a right and should be available to all without conditions. This paper seeks to assist that project by showing that the tension between rights and conditions has a history. It focusses on the pivotal 1940s, which saw the first major

The optimal balance between sexual and asexual reproduction in variable environments: a systematic review

, 2016
Many plant species have two modes of reproduction: sexual and asexual. Both modes of reproduction have often been viewed as adaptations to temporally or spatially variable environments.

Genome-wide screening and functional analysis identify a large number of long noncoding RNAs involved in the sexual reproduction of rice

Genome Biology, 2014
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in a wide range of biological processes in mammals and plants. However, the systematic examination of lncRNAs in plants lags behind that in mammals.

Inhibition of Ferroptosis Delays Aging and Extends Healthspan Across Multiple Species

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies ferroptosis as a key driver of cellular senescence, with its inhibition delaying aging and extending healthspan across species. During senescence, ferroptosis worsens, increasing oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, which accelerate aging.

Protocol to assess bottlenecks inhibiting the scaling up of evidence-based family planning practices in low-income and middle-income countries using mixed methods

BMJ Open
Introduction Scaling up evidence-based practices (EBPs) in family planning (FP), as recommended by the WHO, has increasingly been accepted by global health actors as core to their mission, goals and activities.
