Theropod forelimbs exhibit wide morphological disparity, from the elongated wings of birds to the diminutive arms of T.rex.A wealth of work has sought to understand the evolution of bird flight via arm elongation, but despite widespread occurrences of forelimb reduction and digit loss throughout theropod dinosaurs, the evolutionary drivers behind t
Circadian clocks are autonomous oscillators driving daily rhythms in physiology and behavior.In mammals, a network of coupled neurons in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is entrained to environmental light-dark Drone cycles and orchestrates the timing of peripheral organs.In each neuron, transcriptional feedbacks generate noisy oscillations.Coupli
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) represent key immune effectors of the host response against chronic viruses, due to their cytotoxic response to virus-infected cells.In response to this selection pressure, viruses may accumulate escape mutations that evade CTL-mediated control.To study the emergence of CTL escape mutations, we employed jewelry the mu
Pathogenic variants in ACTN2, coding for alpha-actinin 2, are known to be rare causes of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.However, 135 little is known about the underlying disease mechanisms.Adult heterozygous mice carrying the Actn2 p.Met228Thr variant were phenotyped by echocardiography.For homozygous mice, viable E15.5 embryonic hearts were analysed
Taking as ethnographic material the blood feud Gameboy in Albania in the twentieth century, this article aims to show that both the blood feud and the feud are manifested through the exercise of violence and according to the defense of moral or material interests of a group.Nevertheless, they respond to a different logic.The general assumption 135
