In sum, our results suggest that signal integration via the pleiotropic NF-κB system enables tissue microenvironment derived cues in calibrating physiological responses.
In addition, the intestine plays a major role in organismal health and lifespan, and acts as a signalling centre influencing other tissues and modulated by bacterially derived cues (Rera et al, 2013).
Therefore, in this case, it follows that BLUE females discriminate against the ancestral RED males who lack the novel (and presumably attractive) blue coloration or other recently derived cue for mate selection.
By deriving cues from molecules normally present in the extracellular matrix (ECM), a complex network of collagens, laminin, fibronectin, glycosaminoglycans, and growth factors, synthetic cell scaffolds can be designed that actively sequester important bioactive signals.
To investigate whether the enhanced strength of the commissural phenotype observed in Ntn1 −/− animals is secondary to changes in the availability of other chemoattractants, we examined the expression of other floor plate-derived cues and their receptors in Ntn1 mutants.
These observations led many groups to look for additional floor plate-derived cues, resulting in the discovery that VEGF (Ruiz de Almodovar et al., 2011) and sonic hedgehog (Shh) (Charron et al., 2003) also function as chemoattractants.
When using logistic regressions to derive cue relative weights, the confounding effect of the measurement scale on the magnitude of 'raw' regression coefficients should be further dealt with properly.
Because we kept the herbivores on the plants during the bioassays, we cannot dissociate the effects of plant volatiles from the effects of host-derived cues (e.g. frass odors) on parasitoid attraction, and Pieris-derived cues may differ from Spodoptera-derived cues, playing a role in the specificity of parasitoid attraction.
And numerous recent studies have elucidated the responsiveness of plants to environmentally derived olfactory cues.
IL-27 is a recently identified heterodimeric cytokine produced in response to microbial and host derived inflammatory cues.
The control of ingestive behaviour is mediated by the central integration of numerous peripherally derived appetitive cues, and the subsequent modulation of neuronal circuits that define the appropriate physiological/behavioural output [2].
