The evidence that prenatal testosterone exposure shapes individuals' empathy levels — or causes them to develop autism-spectrum disorders — remains messy, at best.
We can study how choice varies as a function of the randomization and history in phase 1; that is, how experience and exposure shapes willingness to pay.
The physiological response to cold exposure shapes the ability of insects to survive and thrive in these environments, and can be measured, without great technical difficulty, for both basic and applied research.
This exposure shaped me in profound ways.
The project builds on a field experiment on Twitter that exposed a large sample of Americans to those with opposing political views in order to test whether such exposure shapes views about policy issues such as racial inequality and immigration reform.
Another interpretation is that the specificities in our data set are representative of the exposures that shape repertoires in healthy individuals, since certain types of antigens – bacterial polysaccharides, for instance – select for certain canonical structures in antibodies, and segments of the same gene family are more likely to produce similar structures [ 16].
Prenatal hormonal exposure may shape the neural mechanisms underlying early social development during both typical and atypical development [22].
These results tempt us to speculate that chitin exposure may shape the recognition of Gram negative pathogens, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen, commonly found in ulcerous skin lesions of the skin and sensed through MyD88-dependent pathways [27]-[31] [27]-[31]
Unlike previous approaches proposed so far, this method requires less simplification of the exposure-response shape or lag structure.
However, our findings also highlight the importance of healthcare environments and local ecological exposures in shaping strain dynamics, which may limit generalisability of specific associations.
Since family members had a more similar intestinal microbiota profile than unrelated individuals, the authors concluded that the host genetics is secondary to environmental exposures in shaping the gut microbial ecology.
