Does learning accelerate evolution?

This paper reviews the recent progress in the investigation into how learning can effect evolutionary dynamics after a century of sharply con¤icting views. The results are signi£cant both for theoretical biologists of various stripes and for computer scientists working on computational intelligence and other subdisciplines which often rely on the transfer of biological principles to digital sys...

Does Vascular Calcification Accelerate€Inflammation?

Fro F. xU Mo Ma Aa Ka AG ed aw Ins Ho ho res VB BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory condition with calcification apparent late in the disease process. The extent and progression of coronary calcification predict cardiovascular events. Relatively little is known about noncoronary vascular calcification. OBJECTIVES This study investigated noncoronary vascular calcification and its influ...

Strict experimental evidence that apo-chaperonin GroEL does not accelerate protein folding, although it does accelerate one of its steps.

Earlier speech exposure does not accelerate speech acquisition.

Critical periods in language acquisition have been discussed primarily with reference to studies of people who are deaf or bilingual. Here, we provide evidence on the opening of sensitivity to the linguistic environment by studying the response to a change of phoneme at a native and nonnative phonetic boundary in full-term and preterm human infants using event-related potentials. Full-term infa...

Does erythropoietin accelerate malignant transformation in multiple myeloma?

Growth factors or humoral agents can support haemopoiesis in various bone marrow disorders. They have the ability to act on multiple cell lineages and in myeloid cells, and the potential to act on the neoplastic equivalent of normal cells. Anaemia is a common feature of multiple myeloma seen in at least two-thirds of patients at presentation. Erythropoietin is increasingly being used with varia...
