Abstract:
... The neural crest has been the main object of my investigations during my career in science, up to now. It is a fascinating topic for an embryologist because of its two unique characteristics: its large degree of multipotency and the fact that its development involves a phase during which its component cells migrate all over the embryo and settle in elected sites where they differentiate into a lar ...

biologists,   etc   ; conception; fruits; protoplasm;     Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... This article revisits the development of the protoplasm concept as it originally arose from critiques of the cell theory, and examines how the term “protoplasm” transformed from a botanical term of art in the 1840s to the so-called “living substance” and “the physical basis of life” two decades later. I show that there were two major shifts in biological materialism that needed to occur before pro ...

Abstract:
... The term complexity means several things to biologists. When qualifying morphological phenotype, on the one hand, it is used to signify the sheer complicatedness of living systems, especially as a result of the multicomponent aspect of biological form. On the other hand, it has been used to represent the intricate nature of the connections between constituents that make up form: a more process-bas ...

Abstract:
... Rarity has been a central topic for conservation and evolutionary biologists aiming to determine the species characteristics that cause extinction risk. More recently, beyond the rarity of species, the rarity of functions or functional traits, called functional rarity, has gained momentum in helping to understand the impact of biodiversity decline on ecosystem functioning. However, a conceptual fr ...

Abstract:
... Marine biologists usually assess coral growth through the von Bertalanffy growth function (VBGF), a function of several biological parameters linked to age by a non-linear relationship. Coral growth parameters are then evaluated via ordinary least squares after a linear transformation of the VBGF. Current literature focuses on linearization techniques, but these methods are often used without cons ...

Abstract:
... Conservation biology is a uniquely interdisciplinary science with strong roots in ecology, but it also embraces a value‐laden and mission‐oriented framework. This combination of science and values causes conservation biology to be at the center of critique regarding the discipline's scientific credibility—especially the division between the realms of theory and practice. We identify this dichotomy ...

Abstract:
... Though RNA G-quadruplexes became a focus of study over a decade ago, the main challenge associated with the identification of new potential G-quadruplexes remains a bottleneck step. It slows the study of these non-canonical structures in nucleic acids, and thus the understanding of their significance. The G4RNA screener is an accurate tool for the prediction of RNA G-quadruplexes but its deploymen ...

Abstract:
... Over the past two decades biologists and bioinformaticians have unearthed substantial evidence supporting a role for G-quadruplexes as important mediators of biological processes. This includes telomere damage signaling, transcriptional activity, and splicing. Both their structural heterogeneity and their abundance in oncogene promoters makes them ideal targets for drug discovery. Currently, there ...
