Inspired by this evolutionary process, protein engineers have seized on design from pre-optimized peptide components as a powerful approach to generating proteins with novel topology and functionality.
Further, our social propensity to assess worst case scenarios that likely is informed by this evolutionary tendency -- and prompts industries like insurance, reinsurance, and risk management -- fosters our sense that something bad is likely just over the horizon.
Elucidation of the mechanisms by which this evolutionary symbiosis occurs would dramatically alter current medical thought by providing a biological basis for linking these two disparate organ systems and provide a new paradigm with which to understand and design new therapeutic approaches for a range of clinical diseases.
Additionally to the removal of essential cells and factors by harvesting, this evolutionary mismatch between new haematoma and surrounding tissue may further delay the fracture healing process.
Additionally, by following this evolutionary route, the sabrecats were apparently unable to exploit the wide size regime of the feline cats, which specialised in powerful precision biting instead, and this technique appears effective against large and small prey alike.
In turn, functional significance of certain features is implicated by preservation despite this evolutionary change; these features include tail-to-tail arrangements of HSEs, gapped HSEs, and the presence or absence of entire HSEs.
Fisheries-induced evolution might compound the demographic risk posed by overfishing, and this evolutionary trend may be difficult to reverse.
The Bacillus hosts in this study can be assembled into two separate groups by relatedness, and this evolutionary boundary may define phage boundaries and predict barriers for pathogenic gene transfer.
By this conventional evolutionary psychology script, the man who skips from one nubile spouse to another over time is, like the sultan who hoards the local maidenry in a single convenient location, simply seeking to "maximize his reproductive fitness," to sire as many children as possible with as many wives as possible.
Our results, however, suggests that the attentional filter imposed by this presumably evolutionary drive toward allo-parenting is tuned to the individual's environment and experience.
Thus, much time is taken by this complex evolutionary work.
