The aim of the study was to identify ion channel transcripts expressed in the sinoatrial node (SAN), the pacemaker of the heart. Functionally, the SAN can be divided into central and peripheral regions (center is adapted for pacemaking only, whereas periphery is adapted to protect center and drive atrial muscle as well as pacemaking) and the aim was to study expression in both regions. In rabbi...

cycle with terminal differentiation. A unipotent host cell population acts as stem cells, which proliferate and migrate from the center of each lobule to the periphery, cease division, and die through apoptosis. During this journey they carry along their symbionts, which divide in the center, stop dividing, and subsequently become digested in the periphery. Digestion thus serves both in host no...

We examined audiovisual and visuotactile integration in the central and peripheral visual field using visual fission and fusion illusions induced by sounds or taps. The fission illusion occurs when a single flash is perceived as two flashes if paired with two beeps or taps; the fusion illusion, by contrast, occurs when two flashes are perceived as a single flash if the flashes are paired with a...

This paper investigates the effect of spatial divisions and their demarcations on formation networks inadequacies specific policy implementations in mitigating marginalization processes. Despite controversies surrounding numerous theoretical premises, center-periphery model remains widely accepted. Implications these ideas by synthesizing critical findings from a vast array prior literature usi...
