Origin and evolution of insect wings [PDF]

, 2014
Insecta is the most diversified animal group, which comprises more than a half of eukaryotic species. Its massive adaptive radiation is most frequently attributed to an origin of insect's wings and flapping flight.

How phagocytic cells kill bacteria: Lessons from a professional killer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
How phagocytic cells ingest and kill bacteria has been studied for more than a century, but many questions remain unanswered. The study of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum brings new answers, and new questions. Professional phagocytic cells such as neutrophils and macrophages, as well as free‐living soil amoebae like Dictyostelium discoideum, employ

Pharmacological Intervention of PIEZO1 for Butterfly Eyespot Color Patterns in Junonia orithya

Receptors
Background: PIEZO channels are mechanoreceptors expressed in various cells. Their contributions to animal development are not entirely clear. According to the physical distortion hypothesis, developmental organizers for butterfly wing eyespots receive ...

Angel wing: a class of alternative splicing regulators in animals

Nucleic Acids Research
Abstract Alternative splicing (AS) regulates the diversity and level of the proteome. The specificity in AS is in turn regulated by RNA-binding proteins, but our understanding of how they act is far from complete. Here, we identify the Angel wing (Anw) protein, previously CG10948, as a novel AS regulator.

Feasibility and Tolerability of Performing Portable MRI for Neurological Disorders in an Outpatient Neurology Clinic: A Prospective Cohort

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Accessing brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be challenging, especially for underserved patients, which may lead to disparities in neurological diagnosis. Method This mixed‐methods study enrolled adults with one of four neurological disorders: mild cognitive impairment or dementia of the Alzheimer type, multiple sclerosis ...

How lizards fly: A novel type of wing in animals

PLOS ONE, 2016
ABSTRACT Flying lizards of the genus Draco are famous for their gliding ability, using an aerofoil formed by winglike patagial membranes and supported by elongated thoracic ribs. It has remained unknown, however, how the lizards manoeuvre during flight.

Low Cycle Repetitive Loading of Ti‐6Al‐4V‐Epoxy Composite Lattice Structures for Enhanced Energy Dissipation and Damage Tolerance

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Composite Ti–6Al–4V–epoxy lattice structures are additively manufactured and epoxy infiltrated for cyclic loading. At low lattice volume fractions, hybridization produces synergistic gains in stiffness and energy dissipation. At higher volume fractions, synergy diminishes, although composites still exceed metallic lattices in specific energy ...

Substrate vibrations during courtship in three Drosophila species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
While a plethora of studies have focused on the role of visual, chemical and near-field airborne signals in courtship of Drosophila fruit flies, the existence of substrate-borne vibrational signals has been almost completely overlooked.
