Social identification is generally a prerequisite for group success and does not preclude intragroup differentiation

Use of Standard Form Does Not Preclude TILA Violation

Impaired face recognition does not preclude intact whole face perception

We studied intact and impaired processes in a prosopagnosic patient (RP). In Experiment 1, RP showed an inversion superiority effect with both faces and objects, with better performance when stimuli were presented upside down than in normal upright orientation. In Experiment 2, we studied the effect of face configuration directly by comparing matching performance with normal vs. scrambled faces...

Neuroinflammation is not a Prerequisite for Diabetes-induced Tau Phosphorylation

Abnormal phosphorylation and aggregation of tau is a key hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder for which Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a risk factor. In animal models for DM, the phosphorylation and aggregation of tau is induced or exacerbated, however the underlying mechanism is unknown. In addition to the metabolic dysfunction, DM is characterized...

Reverse gyrase is not a prerequisite for hyperthermophilic life.

We disrupted the reverse gyrase gene from a hyperthermophilic archaeon, Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1. An apparent positive supercoiling activity that was observed in the host strain was not found in the disruptant strain. We found that a lack of reverse gyrase led to a retardation in growth that was more striking at higher temperatures. However, the disruption of the reverse gyrase gene did ...

Severe intellectual disability does not preclude renal transplantation.

BACKGROUND Intellectual disability (ID) in patients with chronic kidney disease is a relative contraindication for kidney transplantation. METHODS We analysed a retrospective cohort of 16 recipients of kidney transplantation with ID and 83 controls. RESULTS Graft survival at 5 years was similar between patients (81.2%) and controls (80.2%), P = 0.9. Patient survival at 5 years was lower amo...
