Midnight/midday-synchronized expression of cryptochrome genes in the eyes of three teleost species, zebrafish, goldfish, and medaka

Zoological Letters, 2022
Photoperiodic responses are observed in many organisms living in the temperate zones. The circadian clock is involved in photoperiodic time measurement; however, the underlying molecular mechanism for detection of the day length remains unknown.

External pressure dynamics promote kidney viability and perfusate filtration during ex vivo kidney perfusion

Scientific Reports, 2022
Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has not yet been established as a technique for preserving organs for a day. A key contributing factor to the same is that the perfusing solutions cannot circulate continuously and evenly in the organs.

Netherlands Twin Register: From Twins to Twin Families [PDF]

Twin Research and Human Genetics, 2006
AbstractIn the late 1980s The Netherlands Twin Register (NTR) was established by recruiting young twins and multiples at birth and by approaching adolescent and young adult twins through city councils. The Adult NTR (ANTR) includes twins, their parents, siblings, spouses and their adult offspring. The number of participants in the ANTR who take part in

Networked lymphatic endothelial cells in a transplanted cell sheet contribute to form functional lymphatic vessels

Scientific Reports, 2022
This study evaluated whether cell sheets containing a network of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) promoted lymphangiogenesis after transplantation in vivo.

Aggregated demand-side energy flexibility: A comprehensive review on characterization, forecasting and market prospects

Energy Reports, 2022
Existing grids have been designed with traditional large centralized generation in mind; however, with the ever-increasing utilization of renewable distributed energy resources, the challenges of proper grid management have intensified.

Speaking to twin children: evidence against the "impoverishment" thesis [PDF]

, 2015
It is often claimed that parents’ talk to twins is less rich than talk to singletons and that this delays their language development. This case study suggests that talk to twins need not be impoverished.
