Ethylene: A Key Regulatory Molecule in Plants
(2017)
Ethylene is a simple gaseous phytohormone with multiple roles in regulation of metabolism at cellular, molecular, and whole plant level. It influences performance of plants under optimal and stressful environments by ...
Fetal Therapies and Maternal-Fetal Tolerance
(2016)
The ability to diagnose and treat genetic diseases before birth represents one of the foremost breakthroughs of modern medicine. While fetal surgery has advanced in the last several decades, the prospect of applying ...
From Is to Ought: The Place of Normative Models in the Study of Human Thought
(2016)
In the study of human thinking, two main research questions can be asked: “Descriptive Q: What is human thinking like? Normative Q: What ought human thinking be like?” For decades, these two questions have dominated the ...
From Ecology to Brain Development: Bridging Separate Evolutionary Paradigms
(2018)
The nervous system is the product of biological evolution and is shaped by the interplay between extrinsic factors determining the ecology of animals, and by intrinsic processes that dictate the developmental rules that ...
From Genes to Species: Novel Insights from Metagenomics
(2016)
The majority of microbes in many environments are considered “as yet uncultured” and were traditionally considered inaccessible for study through the microbiological gold standard of pure culture. The emergence of metagenomic ...
Frontiers in Brain Based Therapeutic Interventions and Biomarker Research in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
(2016)
Developmental neuroscience research is on the cusp of unprecedented advances in the understanding of how variations in brain structure and function within neural circuits confer risk for symptoms of childhood psychiatric ...
Frontiers in Earth Science - Editor's Choice 2017
(2018)
2017 has been an exciting year for our innovative open access journal Frontiers in Earth Science: many new articles have been published and are now indexed in Web of Science (ESCI), new sections have opened for submissions ...
Functional Imaging in living Plants - Cell Biology meets Physiology
(2015)
The study of plant cell physiology is currently experiencing a profound transformation. Novel techniques allow dynamic in vivo imaging with subcellular resolution, covering a rapidly growing range of plant cell physiology. ...
Functional Characterization of Insect Chemoreceptors: Receptivity Range, Expression and Evolution
(2016)
Olfaction and taste are of critical importance to insects and other animals, since vital behaviours, including mate, food and host seeking, as well as predator and toxin avoidance, are guided by chemosensory cues. Mate and ...
Function of Renal Sympathetic Nerves
(2017)
Sympathetic overactivity is associated with the development of hypertension. Renal denervation (RDN) prevents or delays hypertension in a variety of animal models, which laid the groundwork for the introduction of RDN as ...
The Functional Organization of the Auditory System
(2017)
This eBook comprises s series of original research and review articles dealing with the anatomical, genetic, and physiological organization of the auditory system from humans to monkeys and mice.
The Future of Coral Reefs Subject to Rapid Climate Change: Lessons from Natural Extreme Environments
(2019)
Examination of corals and reef-associated organisms which endure in extreme coral reef environments is challenging our understanding of the conditions that organisms can survive under. By studying individuals naturally ...
Genetics and epigenetics of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders
(2015)
Women drinking during pregnancy can result in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), which may feature variable neurodevelopmental deficits, facial dysmorphology, growth retardation, and learning disabilities. Research ...
Genetics of Acquired Antimicrobial Resistance in Animal and Zoonotic Pathogens
(2018)
Development and spread of antimicrobial resistance is the result of an evolutionary process by which microorganisms adapt to antibiotics through several mechanisms including alteration of drug target by mutation and ...
Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Processes in Cardiovascular Diseases
(2018)
It is long known that many cells can shed extracellular vesicles, small membrane-enclosed cell fragments. Although the existence of extracellular vesicles has been recognized for many years, researchers are only beginning ...
Face Perception across the Life-Span
(2017)
Face perception is a highly evolved visual skills in humans. This complex ability develops across the life-span, steeply rising in infancy, refining across childhood and adolescence, reaching highest levels in adulthood ...
Geomicrobes: Life in Terrestrial Deep Subsurface
(2017)
The deep subsurface is, in addition to space, one of the last unknown frontiers to human kind. A significant part of life on Earth resides in the deep subsurface, hiding great potential of microbial life of which we know ...
Ethanol, Its Active Metabolites, and Their Mechanisms of Action: Neurophysiological and Behavioral Effects
