The best of both worlds? A review of delayed selfing in flowering plants
(2018-04-06)
PREMISE OF STUDY: In a seminal body of theory, Lloyd showed that the fitness consequences of selfing will depend on its timing in anthesis. Selfing that occurs after opportunities for outcrossing or pollen dispersal can ...
The effects of exercise on hypothalamic neurodegeneration of Alzheimer’s disease mouse model
(2018-01-02)
Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the central nervous sys- tem. In this study, we characterized and examined the early metabolic changes in the triple transgenic mouse AD model (3xtg-AD), and ...
The Impact of Locoregional Therapy in Nonmetastatic Inflammatory Breast Cancer: A Population-Based Study
(2018-06-03)
Background. Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare but most aggressive breast cancer subtype. The impact of locoregional therapy on survival in IBC is controversial. Methods. Patients with nonmetastatic IBC between ...
The Populus holobiont: dissecting the effects of plant niches and genotype on the microbiome
(2018-02-12)
Background: Microorganisms serve important functions within numerous eukaryotic host organisms. An understanding of the variation in the plant niche-level microbiome, from rhizosphere soils to plant canopies, is imperative ...
The influence of impact-based severe weather warnings on risk perceptions and intended protective actions
(2018-04-03)
This paper presents the results of an online survey of the New Zealand public (n = 1364), conducted in 2015, that tested the influence of impact-based severe weather warnings on risk perceptions and intended protective ...
Time course metabolome of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass confirms correlation between leptin, body weight and the microbiome
(2018-05-31)
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is an effective way to lose weight and reverse type 2 dia- betes. We profiled the metabolome of 18 obese patients (nine euglycemic and nine diabet- ics) that underwent RYGB surgery and seven ...
The effects of emotional states and traits on time perception
(2018-08-20)
Background: Models of time perception share an element of scalar expectancy theory known as the internal clock, containing specific mechanisms by which the brain is able to experience time passing and function effectively. ...
Strongly interacting matter under rotation
(2018-02-02)
The vorticity-driven effects are systematically studied in various aspects. With AMPT the distributions of vorticity has been investigated in heavy ion collisions with different collision parameters. Taking the rotational ...
Spontaneous bile duct perforation in a neonate
(2018-08-14)
We present a case of spontaneous biliary perforation (SBP) in a previously healthy 3-week-old boy with wor- sening scleral icterus, abdominal distension, and acholic stools. Abdominal ultrasound demonstrated moderate ascites ...
Claudin‑7 modulates cell‑matrix adhesion that controls cell migration, invasion and attachment of human HCC827 lung cancer cells
(2018-12-31)
Claudins are a family of tight junction proteins, and serve important roles in epithelial barrier, selective ion transports and cancer metastasis. Although the exact role of claudin-7 in human lung cancer has not been ...
