Chromosomal Aneuploidies and Early Embryonic Developmental Arrest
Background Selecting the best embryo for transfer, with the highest chance of achieving a vital pregnancy, is a major goal in current in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology. The high rate of embryonic developmental arrest during IVF treatment is one of the limitations in achieving this goal. Chromosomal abnormalities are possibly linked with chromosomal arrest and selection against abnormal fe...
متن کاملLife and Its Close Relatives
When driven by an external thermodynamic gradient, nonbiological physical systems can exhibit a wide range of behaviours usually associated with living systems. Consequently, Artificial Life researchers should be open to the possibility that there is no hard-and-fast distinction between the biological and the physical. This suggests a novel field of research: the application of biologists’ meth...
متن کاملThe Neotropical Genus Austrolebias: An Emerging Model of Annual Killifishes
Annual fishes are found in both Africa and South America occupying ephemeral ponds that dried seasonally. Neotropical annual fishes are members of the family Rivulidae that consist of both annual and non-annual fishes. Annual species are characterized by a prolonged embryonic development and a relatively short adult life. Males and females show striking sexual dimorphisms, complex courtship, an...
متن کاملBacteria and HIT: a close connection?
HIT is caused by antibodies specific to PF4/heparin complexes. In this issue of Blood, Krauel et al report novel findings supporting the hypothesis that primary synthesis of these antibodies results from bacterial infections. HIT, therefore, appears to be a misdirected antibacterial host defense response.
متن کاملFactors mediating plastid dependency and the origins of parasitism in apicomplexans and their close relatives.
Apicomplexans are a major lineage of parasites, including causative agents of malaria and toxoplasmosis. How such highly adapted parasites evolved from free-living ancestors is poorly understood, particularly because they contain nonphotosynthetic plastids with which they have a complex metabolic dependency. Here, we examine the origin of apicomplexan parasitism by resolving the evolutionary di...
