WHEN THE UTERUS COMPETES FOR PERFUSION: MANAGEMENT OF A PREGNANT PATIENT WITH BYPASS GRAFT OCCLUSION


Evolution of Lactase Persistence: Turbo-Charging Adaptation in Growth Under the Selective Pressure of Maternal Mortality?

The emergence of the capacity to digest milk in some populations represents a landmark in human evolution, linking genetic change with a component of niche construction, namely dairying.Alleles promoting continued activity of the enzyme lactase through the life-course (lactase persistence) evolved in several global regions within the last 7,000 yea

The interaction of a self-assembled nanoparticle and a lipid membrane: Binding, disassembly and re-distribution

Here we report a detailed study of the interactions of nanoparticles, formed by the self-assembly of cholesterol-containing porphyrins, with lipid membranes.We show that the interaction is a two-step process: first, the docking and fusion, then, the redistribution of the building blocks of the self-assembled nanoparticles (SANs henceforth).Analysis
