Cell type-specific transcriptional programs that drive differentiation of specialized cell types are key players in development and tissue regeneration. One of the most dramatic changes in the transcription program in Drosophila occurs with the transition from proliferating spermatogonia to differentiating spermatocytes, with >3000 genes either…[Read more]

John Wiley & Sons Ltd.Morphological and chemical attributes of diaspores in myrmecochorous plants have been shown to affect seed dispersal by ants, but the relative importance of these attributes in determining seed attractiveness and dispersal success is poorly understood. We explored whether differences in diaspore morphology, elaiosome fatty…[Read more]

The major problem with transfemoral prostheses is their capacity to compensate for the loss of the knee joint. The identification of gait-cycle phases plays an important role in the control of these prostheses. Such control is completely up to the patient in passive prostheses or partly facilitated by the prosthesis in semiactive prostheses. In…[Read more]
