Understanding the Origins of Morphological Diversity: the Linguistic Niche Hypothesis
Human language is unparalleled in both its expressive capacity and its diversity. What accounts for the enormous diversity of human languages [13]? Recent evidence suggests that the structure of languages may be shaped by the social and demographic environment in which the languages are learned and used. In an analysis of over 2,000 languages Lupyan and Dale [25] demonstrated that socio-demogra...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Topography of the Photosystem II Herbicide Binding Niche: Does QSAR Help?
For thirty years the study o f Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR) has been an active area o f research aimed at developing an understanding o f the interactions be tween inhibitors o f photosynthetic electron transport and the herbicide binding site in the Pho tosystem II (PS II) reaction centre.

متن کاملThe Niche
The concept of niche (setting, context, habitat, environment) has been little studied by ontologists, in spite of its wide application in a variety of disciplines from evolutionary biology to economics. What follows is a first formal theory of this concept, a theory of the relations between objects and their niches. The theory builds upon existing work on mereology, topology, and the theory of ...
متن کاملEmbryonic and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells: Understanding, Creating, and Exploiting the Nano-Niche for Regenerative Medicine
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have the capacity to differentiate into any specialized cell type of the human body, and therefore, ESC/iPSC-derived cell types offer great potential for regenerative medicine. However, key to realizing this potential requires a strong understanding of stem cell biology, techniques to maintain stem cells, and strategies to m...
متن کاملUnderstanding the hypoxic niche of multiple myeloma: therapeutic implications and contributions of mouse models
Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy and is characterized by the clonal expansion of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Recently, hypoxia has received increased interest in the context of MM, in both basic and translational research. In this review, we describe the discovery of the hypoxic niche in MM and how it can be targeted therapeutically. We also discuss ...
