Mannose-binding lectin: ancient molecule, interesting future.
Five hundred sixty-five million years ago, when the world was empty and barren because animal life had not colonized land yet, a common ancestor that we share with sea squirts (Ascidians) inhabited the seas. One of the genes that we still share with sea squirts today is a gene for mannose-binding lectin (MBL), signifying that this gene has existed for 1565 million years [1, 2] and, thus, has be...
متن کاملEditorial Commentary: We Are Seeing More Sepsis …. But Are We Seeing the Whole Picture?
In determining how to most effectively allocate limited resources, it is imperative to accurately define the burden of a given disease. As the number of data sources available for epidemiologic analyses continues to increase, clearly elucidating the relative strengths and weaknesses of these potentially valuable resources is imperative. Evaluating emerging trends in the incidence of specific co...
متن کاملWe age because we grow.
Why do we age? Since ageing is a near-universal feature of complex organisms, a convincing theory must provide a robust evolutionary explanation for its ubiquity. This theory should be compatible with the physiological evidence that ageing is largely due to deterioration, which is, in principle, reversible through repair. Moreover, this theory should also explain why natural selection has favou...
متن کاملHow shall we design the future vehicle for Chinese market.
Surface transportation system is developing very fast in China and the number of vehicles is increasing quickly as well. This development creates a lot of problems on traffic safety and the number of accident is also increasing. In this paper, we made deep analysis of different possible causes of safety problems through three aspects: the traffic environment and infrastructure, in-vehicle infor...
