Postnatal growth of gut and muscle: competitors or collaborators

Postnatal growth of gut and muscle: competitors or collaborators.

Although growth and functional maturation are essentially continuous from conception to the attainment of sexual maturity, birth and weaning are particularly critical milestones in life. Birth is associated with a change in the route of nutrient delivery to the organism and weaning requires the attainment of full locomotor function as the organism is called upon to actively seek its own food. W...

Auxin and ethylene: collaborators or competitors?

The individual roles of auxin and ethylene in controlling the growth and development of young seedlings have been well studied. In recent years, these two hormones have been shown to act synergistically to control specific growth and developmental processes, such as root elongation and root hair formation, as well as antagonistically in other processes, such as lateral root formation and hypoco...

Hybrid medical leadership turns competitors into collaborators.

postnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...

Emergence of biopharmaceutical innovators in China, India, Brazil, and South Africa as global competitors and collaborators

Biopharmaceutical innovation has had a profound health and economic impact globally. Developed countries have traditionally been the source of most innovations as well as the destination for the resulting economic and health benefits. As a result, most prior research on this sector has focused on developed countries. This paper seeks to fill the gap in research on emerging markets by analyzing ...
