Evolutionary origin of synapses and neurons – Bridging the gap
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "BioEssays"
DOI: 10.1002/bies.201700024
Abstract: The evolutionary origin of synapses and neurons is an enigmatic subject that inspires much debate. Non‐bilaterian metazoans, both with and without neurons and their closest relatives already contain many components of the molecular toolkits for… read more here.

Evolutionary origin of a periodical mass‐flowering plant
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4881
Abstract: Abstract The evolutionary origin of periodical mass‐flowering plants (shortly periodical plants), exhibiting periodical mass flowering and death immediately after flowering, has not been demonstrated. Within the genus Strobilanthes (Acanthaceae), which includes more than 50 periodical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/pro.4297
Abstract: ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) systems, characterized by ABC‐type nucleotide‐binding domains (NBDs), play crucial roles in various aspects of human physiology. Human ABCG5 and ABCG8 form a heterodimeric transporter that functions in the efflux of sterols. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-019-04033-y
Abstract: The evolutionary process of adaptation to the cave environment leads to extreme genetic, morphological, and physiological modifications commonly known as stygomorphism. The cave-dwelling armored catfish Ancistrus cryptophthalmus is a good model to understand the evolutionary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.conb.2017.11.004
Abstract: Peripheral glia includes predominantly myelinating and non-myelinating Schwann cells in addition to satellite, terminal and enteric glia as well as other unresolved subtypes with localized functions. Of these subtypes, all of them originate from neural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pt.2016.11.002
Abstract: Chagas disease is amongst the ten most important neglected tropical diseases but knowledge on the diversification of its vectors, Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), is very scarce. Most Triatominae species occur in the Americas, and are all… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/nature21679
Abstract: The enteric nervous system of jawed vertebrates arises primarily from vagal neural crest cells that migrate to the foregut and subsequently colonize and innervate the entire gastrointestinal tract. Here we examine development of the enteric… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jfb.15045
Abstract: The kidney of fish contains numerous nephrons, each of which is divided into the renal corpuscle and renal tubules. This glomerular structure is the filtration unit of the nephron and is important for the kidney… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16902
Abstract: Polyploids recurrently emerge in angiosperms, but most polyploids are likely to go extinct before establishment due to minority cytotype exclusion, which may be specifically a constraint for dioecious plants. Here we test the hypothesis that… read more here.
