Maintenance and expansion of genetic and trait variation following domestication in a clonal crop
(Wiley, 2023-06-02)Clonal propagation enables favourable crop genotypes to be rapidly selected and multiplied. However, the absence of sexual propagation can lead to low genetic diversity and accumulation of deleterious mutations, which may ... -
Making a meal out of uncertainty
(Taylor & Francis (Routledge): SSH Titles, 2016-11-03)The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)’s prepared a guidance document on uncertainty (2015), and the lead article by Lofstedt and Bouder considers the implications the document raises for how scientists communicate the ... -
Maleimide-functionalized carboxymethyl cellulose: A novel mucoadhesive polymer for transmucosal drug delivery.
(2022-07-15)The objective of this research was to develop a novel mucoadhesive polymer for drug delivery applications based on N-(2-aminoethyl) maleimide-functionalized carboxymethyl cellulose in which the weight ratios of the materials ... -
A mammalian DNA methylation landscape.
(2023-08-11)A study of 348 species offers clues into the diversity of mammalian life spans. -
Managing membrane stress: the phage shock protein (Psp) response, from molecular mechanisms to physiology
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2010-09)The bacterial phage shock protein (Psp) response functions to help cells manage the impacts of agents impairing cell membrane function. The system has relevance to biotechnology and to medicine. Originally discovered in ... -
Manipulation of Molecular Vibrations on Condensing Er3+ State Densities for 1.5 μm Application.
(2021-10-07)Vibrational modes of chemical bonds in organic erbium (Er3+) materials play an important role in determining the efficiency of the 1.5 μm Er3+ emission. This work studies the energy coupling of the Er3+ intra-4f transitions ... -
Many morphs: Parsing gesture signals from the noise.
(2024-03-04)Parsing signals from noise is a general problem for signallers and recipients, and for researchers studying communicative systems. Substantial efforts have been invested in comparing how other species encode information ... -
Mapping the differential impact of spontaneous and conversational laughter on brain and mind: an fMRI study in autism.
(Oxford University Press, 2024-05-16)Spontaneous and conversational laughter are important socio-emotional communicative signals. Neuroimaging findings suggest that non-autistic people engage in mentalizing to understand the meaning behind conversational ... -
Massive losses of taste receptor genes in toothed and baleen whales.
(2014-05-06)Taste receptor genes are functionally important in animals, with a surprising exception in the bottlenose dolphin, which shows extensive losses of sweet, umami, and bitter taste receptor genes. To examine the generality ... -
Masticatory musculature of the African mole-rats (Rodentia: Bathyergidae).
(PeerJ Inc., 2020-03)The Bathyergidae, commonly known as blesmols or African mole-rats, is a family of rodents well-known for their subterranean lifestyle and tunnelling behaviour. Four of the five extant bathyergid genera (Cryptomys, Fukomys, ... -
Maternal Trauma and Psychopathology Symptoms Affect Refugee Children's Mental Health But Not Their Emotion Processing.
(2024-03-02)Refugee children's development may be affected by their parents' war-related trauma exposure and psychopathology symptoms across a range of cognitive and affective domains, but the processes involved in this transmission ...
