Thermal traits knowledge is elemental to forecasting the impacts of environmental change on lizard diversity. Daily and seasonal environmental temperature fluctuations are amplified in desert and semi-desert species. As ...

Abstract Background Social isolation is a chronic psychological stressor with high translational relevance to depression in humans, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, few preclinical studies...

Industrial Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology is an optional 128h-course for Chemistry and Biology students at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. This course is usually attended by 25 stu...

The extended evolutionary synthesis (EES) emphasizes integrative approaches to understanding distributed adaptability, incorporating development and intergenerational effects, inclusive inheritance and niche construction...

Mathematics and computer science play a pivotal role in modern biology. Dynamical models based on differential equations are particularly adapted to describe dynamic behaviors of many biological processes. However, tradi...

The temporal dynamics in biological systems displays a wide range of behaviors, from periodic oscillations, as in rhythms, bursts, long-range (fractal) correlations, chaotic dynamics up to brown and white noise. Herein, ...

Abstract While binge drinking can significantly impact health negatively, it has become increasingly important to understand how sex differences contribute to this hazardous behavior, which may also serve as a risk facto...

Abstract Background Induced mutation through physical mutagens, such as gamma irradiation is an effective and complementary breeding tool to enhance crop improvement by increasing genetic variation and creating heritable...

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 8, a debilitating neurological disease with no effective treatment, is caused by a CAG•CTG expansion mutation. In SCA8 mice, metformin decreases repeat-associated non-AUG proteins and neuroi...

Subtle variations in nontraumatic early-life experience are associated with long-lasting trajectories in pups’ brain development and behavior. Understanding the mechanisms of individualization of emotional traits is cr...

Objective To investigate the influence of water on the monotonic and fatigue strength of a lithium disilicate glass-ceramic. Methods Ninety bar-shaped specimens (1.0 × 1.0 × 12.0 mm) were prepared from Advanced Lithium...

Tumor growth involves a dynamic interplay between cancer cells and host cells, which collectively form a tumor microenvironmental network that either suppresses or promotes tumor growth under different conditions. The tr...

This work was developed to identify the stratification and mixing pattern in the Hatillo reservoir, the largest reservoir in the Greater Antilles and the reservoir with the greatest water storage capacity in the Dominica...

Aun cuando solo quedan menos de 500 ejemplares de huemul patagonico (Hippocamelus bisulcus) en Argentina, existe escasa información sobre su ecología y dinámicas poblacionales. Por primera vez en la historia de Argent...

Abstract The social behaviors of microbes provide unique opportunities for testing social evolution theories. How can altruistic behaviors arise by natural selection is a central challenge in biology. Green-beard effect ...

Biogenic amine neurotransmitters play a central role in metazoan biology, and both their chemical structures and cognate receptors are evolutionarily conserved. Their primary roles are in cell-to-cell signaling, as bioge...

Abstract Vertebrate chemoreceptor genes play a central role in detecting environmental chemical compounds through the olfactory organs and taste buds, enabling the perception of odors and tastants that are critical for s...

ABSTRACT Biofilms play a crucial role in medical, industrial, and environmental microbiology, yet their structural complexity often makes them challenging to study in undergraduate teaching laboratories. We present a sim...

Western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera) (WCR) depends on the continuous availability of corn. Broad adoption of annual crop rotation between corn (Zea mays) and nonhost soybean (Glycine max) exploited WCR biology to...

Objective: To determine the optimal dosing ratio of the herbal components within compound Hemerocallis citrina Baroni (H. citrina) extract concentrate (CHEC), evaluate its antidepressant effects in zebrafish and mouse mo...

Male genital mutilation is a common mechanism by which males reduce sperm competition by plugging female insemination ducts with different parts of its own genital system. This behavior is frequent in many spider familie...

O monitoramento endócrino pela mensuração de metabólitos urinários e fecais de hormônios esteróides tem se mostrado uma alternativa viável na investigação da fisiologia reprodutiva e do estresse em uma grande v...

Graph-based pangenome references often misrepresent Copy Number Variations (CNVs) and Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) as alternative acyclic paths, which hinders downstream analyses, degrades alignment behavior, a...

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women. Advances in medical technology have made early diagnosis possible. However, as with many other diseases, the diagnosis of breast cancer may be delayed due to h...
