Multiple Paths to Reprogramming
For a long time, differentiation was considered a “one way process”; Conrad Waddington, in the 1950s, described cellular differentiation and development as a ball rolling towards different one-way ramified valleys, giving rise to specific cell fates, irreversibly [1]. However, in the last decades, a series of studies have shown that somatic cells and stem cells are more plastic than previously ...
متن کاملPrimate encephalization.
Encephalization is a concept that implies an increase in brain or neocortex size relative to body size, size of lower brain areas, and/or evolutionary time. Here, I review 26 large-scale comparative studies that provide robust evidence for five lifestyle correlates of encephalization (group living, a large home range, a high-quality diet, a strong reliance on vision, arboreal and forest dwellin...
متن کاملFallibilism and Multiple Paths to Knowledge∗
Being a fallibilist isn’t easy. A fallibilist about empirical knowledge, in Lewis’s (1996) sense, holds that an agent can know a contingent empirical proposition P , even if she has not ruled out every last way that P could be false.1 In this sense, it seems that most contemporary epistemologists are fallibilists, at least relative to some way of understanding what it is to “rule out” an altern...
متن کاملMultiple serotonergic paths to antidepressant efficacy.
Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Brain mechanisms underlying the clinical antidepressant efficacy of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), currently the first-line treatment, remain poorly understood. Recent animal studies have implicated multiple serotonin receptor subtypes in SSRI response, opening new therapeutic perspectives.
متن کاملChaperone-assisted degradation: multiple paths to destruction.
Molecular chaperones are well known as facilitators of protein folding and assembly. However, in recent years multiple chaperone-assisted degradation pathways have also emerged, including CAP (chaperone-assisted proteasomal degradation), CASA (chaperone-assisted selective autophagy), and CMA (chaperone-mediated autophagy). Within these pathways chaperones facilitate the sorting of non-native pr...
