Writing from Singapore, Richard Javad Heydarian is concerned about the increasingly confrontational tone between the U.S. and China as expressed in the recent Shangri-La Dialogue which, he writes, "exposed the fracturing pan-regional security architecture and its potentially disastrous consequences for Asia.
From this point of view, the ECDC position expressed in the recent guidance related to the introduction of HPV vaccines in European Union countries (2012) suggests that universal immunisation programmes for boys seem to be too costly compared to the potential benefits [ 38].
They tried to explain this unexpected phenomenon using the 'preferential attachment' hypothesis suggested by Albert et al. (2002), in which genes expressed in the more recent cortical region are more likely to be expressed broadly because they tend to be the genes that already have a broad expression breadth in the subcortical region [ 27, 39].
Arabidopsis AGL12 is preferentially expressed in the root, and recent loss-of-function analyses have revealed its roles in not only regulating root meristem cell proliferation but also flowering transition [ 20, 21].
Calpain-9 was thought to be exclusively expressed in the digestive tract; however recent studies have shown that this protein is also expressed in breast tissue.
The EphA4 receptor is highly expressed in the nervous system, and recent findings suggest that its signaling activity hinders neural repair and exacerbates certain neurodegenerative processes.
For example, we see a correlation between 'total body fat' abnormalities and genes expressed in the 'brain', which fits recent discoveries linking genes expressed in the hypothalamus to obesity.
NFAT is expressed in the epidermis, and although recent data suggest that NFAT is involved in the skin's responses to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), the wavelengths of radiation that activate NFAT and the biological function of UV-activated NFAT remain undefined.
They were originally developed for polynomials expressed in the power (monomial) basis, but the recent development of resultant matrices for Bernstein basis polynomials has increased their use in computer aided geometric design, for which the Bernstein basis is the standard polynomial basis.
Ucp2 is highly expressed in the hypothalamus [ 43], and recent studies suggest that UCP2 negatively regulates glucose sensing in hypothalamic neurons [ 24, 44].
For example, Tuller et al. (2008) reported that genes expressed in the cortical region, a more recent region of brain, evolve more slowly than those expressed in the subcortical region, a more ancient region of brain.
