Thus, rodents, and mammals in general, may share a mechanism for mobilizing pro-social motivation in response to the distress of another individual.
The diversity of bile salts, starting in fish and amphibians [ 9] and combined with the data for reptiles and mammals in the present study, suggests a different model of evolution of bile salts from steroid hormones.
The species name xenarthrosus refers to the odd way the creature's spinal vertebrae interlock and stiffen the back, similar to modern-day armadillos, anteaters, and other mammals in a group called xenarthrans.
The facultative intracellular bacteria Bartonella spp. share a common infection strategy to invade and colonize mammals in a host-specific manner.
Recent studies demonstrated the plasticity of replication domains both in Drosophila and mammals, namely a change in replication timing in different cell cultures associated with differentiation [ 23, 50].
Amnion, in reptiles, birds, and mammals, a membrane forming a fluid-filled cavity (the amniotic sac) that encloses the embryo.
Knockdown studies in flies and mammals show a role of SLX4 in interstrand crosslink repair, a process that involves HR.
In this study, our goal was to investigate whether TOR, a negative regulator of autophagy in yeast and mammals, also plays a role in plant autophagy induction.
For example, a southeastern Palearctic clade has been noted in several birds and mammals and also in an amphibian and two ants, suggesting common causes of their divergences (reviewed in [ 22]).
One allele, gk454899, affects a conserved residue across Drosophila, zebrafish, and mammals and resulted in a 19% reduction of dendritic termini compared to control animals (Table S1, Figure 1B, and Figure 2A).
