Why Being a Periphery is not Honorable, and why It does not Threaten Russia

Why does the central nervous system not regenerate after injury?

A major problem for neuroscientists and clinicians is why the central nervous system shows ineffective regeneration after injury. Injured peripheral nerve fibers reform their connections, whereas those in injured spinal cord never re-grow. Insights into the mechanisms for repair and restoration of function after spinal cord injury have been obtained by experiments showing that injured nerve cel...

Male lactation: why, why not and is it care?

Mammals are characterised by their ability to provision offspring with milk, but lactation is normally restricted to females. Why do most males not share this trait? The morphological and physiological modifications necessary for male lactation are possible and, although restrictive, the ecological factors that could select for male lactation seem common enough. Until quite recently, there was ...

Protein structure prediction by threading. Why it works and why it does not.

We developed a novel Monte Carlo threading algorithm which allows gaps and insertions both in the template structure and threaded sequence. The algorithm is able to find the optimal sequence-structure alignment and sample suboptimal alignments. Using our algorithm we performed sequence-structure alignments for a number of examples for three protein folds (ubiquitin, immunoglobulin and globin) u...
