STRUCTURAL VARIATIONS AND THEIR ADAPTIVE SIGNIFICANCES IN THE BONES OF SOME MIGRATORY AND RESIDENT BIRDS



Biochanin A Alleviates Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury by Suppressing Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Induced Apoptosis and p38MAPK Signaling Pathway In Vivo and In Vitro

We have previously shown that biochanin A exhibits neuroprotective properties in the context of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.The mechanistic basis for such properties, however, remains poorly understood.This study was therefore designed to explore the manner whereby biochanin A controls endoplasmic reticulum bar drain board (ER) stres

Copulatory behaviour and genital mechanics suggest sperm allocation by a non-intromittent sclerite in a pholcid spider

The male genitalia of pholcid spiders, which is one of the most species-rich spider families, are characterized by a procursus, which is a morphologically diverse projection of the copulatory organ.It has been shown that the procursus interacts with the female genitalia during copulation.Here, we investigate the function of the procursus in Gertsch
