Birth Weight, Working Memory and Epigenetic Signatures in IGF2 and Related Genes: A MZ Twin Study
(Public Library Science, 2014-08-29)
Neurodevelopmental disruptions caused by obstetric complications play a role in the etiology of several phenotypes associated with neuropsychiatric diseases and cognitive dysfunctions. Importantly, it has been noticed that ...
Sphingomyelinase D/Ceramide 1-Phosphate in Cell Survival and Inflammation
(MDPI, 2015-05)
Sphingolipids are major constituents of biological membranes of eukaryotic cells. Many studies have shown that sphingomyelin (SM) is a major phospholipid in cell bilayers and is mainly localized to the plasma membrane of ...
Stable Isotopes Reveal Patterns of Diet And Mobility in the Last Neandertals and First Modern Humans in Europe
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-03-14)
Correlating cultural, technological and ecological aspects of both Upper Pleistocene modern humans (UPMHs) and Neandertals provides a useful approach for achieving robust predictions about what makes us human. Here we ...
Impact of a workplace ‘sit less, move more’ program on efficiency-related outcomes of office employees
(Biomed Central, 2017-05-10)
Background: Few studies have examined the impact of 'sit less, move more' interventions on workplace performance. This study assessed the short and mid-term impacts of and patterns of change within, a 19-week workplace ...
A systematic review of sex-based differences in effectiveness and adverse effects of clozapine
(Elsevier, 2019-08-03)
Clozapine is one of the most widely used antipsychotics for treating psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This drug, however, is associated with adverse effects such as weight gain, metabolic ...
Gaining ecological insight on dietary allocation among horseshoe bats through molecular primer combination
(Public Library of Science, 2019-07-24)
Knowledge on the trophic interactions among predators and their prey is important in order to understand ecology and behaviour of animals. Traditionally studies on the diet composition of insectivorous bats have been based ...
Bats from different foraging guilds prey upon the pine processionary moth
(PeerJ, 2019-03-08)
Outbreaks of the processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Denis & Schiffer-mailer, 1775), a forest pest from the Palearctic, are thought to induce a behavioral response of bats, but up to now the moth has been seldom ...
PGPRs and nitrogen-fixing legumes: a perfect team for efficient Cd phytoremediation?
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-02-25)
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic, biologically non-essential and highly mobile metal that has become an increasingly important environmental hazard to both wildlife and humans. In contrast to conventional remediation technologies, ...
Patterns of Impact Resulting from a 'Sit Less, Move More' Web-Based Program in Sedentary Office Employees
(Public Library Science, 2015-04)
Purpose
Encouraging office workers to 'sit less and move more' encompasses two public health priorities. However, there is little evidence on the effectiveness of workplace interventions for reducing sitting, even less ...
Hot-Moments of Soil CO2 Efflux in a Water-Limited Grassland
(MDPI, 2018)
The metabolic activity of water-limited ecosystems is strongly linked to the timing and magnitude of precipitation pulses that can trigger disproportionately high (i.e., hot-moments) ecosystem CO2 fluxes. We analyzed over ...
