Do the fastest concepti have a shorter life span?
An evolutionary hypothesis based on an 'antagonist pleiotropy' or 'disposable soma' mechanism is put forward to explain differences in longevity between species, strains, and sexes. Data from several congenic mouse strains and mammalian species suggest that there may be an association between cleavage rate of concepti and longevity, in such a way that concepti from species, strains or the sex (...
متن کاملWhen life gets physical
The subatomic world is nothing like the world that biologists study. Physicists have struggled for almost a century to understand the wave– particle duality of matter and energy, but many questions remain unanswered. That biological systems ultimately obey the rules of quantum mechanics might be self-evident, but the idea that those rules are the very basis of certain biological functions has n...

Resilience involves mutually benefi cial (adaptive) relations between characteristics of individuals (e.g., their self-regulation behaviors) and features of the ecology (e.g., resources promoting healthy development); these links may be represented as individual ←→ ...
متن کاملLoneliness across the life span.
Most people have experienced loneliness and have been able to overcome it to reconnect with other people.

The RAM represents the motivation to reconnect with others that is triggered by perceived social isolation. Loneline...
متن کاملType 1 Diabetes Through the Life Span: A Position Statement of the American Diabetes Association
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by an immune-mediated depletion of b-cells that results in lifelong dependence on exogenous insulin. While both type 1 and type 2 diabetes result in hyperglycemia, the pathophysiology and etiology of the diseases are distinct and require us to consider each type of diabetes independently. As such, this position statement summarizes available data specific to the...
