Structure determines function
In this special issue of the Journal of Pediatric Intensive Care, we have compiled a series of articles relating to mechanical ventilation. We have chosen to select articles that do not address the usual reviews on mechanical ventilation but rather topics that our readers may find unique and interesting. The title of my editorial, “Structure determines function”, relates to that first lecture i...
متن کاملFunction determines structure in complex neural networks.
In the course of our daily lives, we rely on our ability to quickly recognize visual objects despite variations in the viewing angle or lighting conditions (1). Most of the time, this process occurs so naturally that it is easy to underestimate the computational challenge it poses. In fact, as much as one third of our cortex is involved in visual object recognition (2). Thus far, we have not be...
متن کاملFunction determines structure in the vasculature: lessons from insulin resistance.
VASCULAR DYSFUNCTION has been well characterized in both human and experimental insulin resistance. Alterations in a range of features of vascular function have been described with insulin resistance (15, 18), including thickened resistance vessel walls with increased structural stiffness (23), reductions in capillary density (rarefaction) (4, 6), reductions in bioavailable nitric oxide (21), i...
متن کاملWhat Determines Family Structure?
What Determines Family Structure? We estimate the effects of policy and labor market variables on the fertility, union formation and dissolution, type of union (cohabiting versus married), and partner choices of the NLSY79 cohort of women. These demographic behaviors interact to determine the family structure experienced by the children of these women: living with the biological mother and the ...
متن کاملCell Elasticity Determines Macrophage Function
Macrophages serve to maintain organ homeostasis in response to challenges from injury, inflammation, malignancy, particulate exposure, or infection. Until now, receptor ligation has been understood as being the central mechanism that regulates macrophage function. Using macrophages of different origins and species, we report that macrophage elasticity is a major determinant of innate macrophage...
