human chromosomes in amnion cells and lymphocytes with normal karyotype and in lymphocytes with pathological karyotype (2n=47, +21) were compared as to their position in the metaphase. none of the collectives showed sex differences. measurement of the radial distances revealed more peripheral position of the majority of large chromosomes. the satellite-carrying chromosomes of the d group always...

objective: basal cell carcinoma (bcc) is the most common human malignant neoplasm which is more frequent in white individuals. ptch and p53 are two major tumor suppressor genes which play important roles in pathogenesis of bcc. ptch is a twelve-pass transmembrane protein. it is an essential component of the sonic hedgehog signaling pathway that plays as a receiving receptor for members of the h...

Previous studies demonstrated that statistical properties of adult generated free associates predict the order of early noun learning. We investigate an explanation for this phenomenon that we call the associative structure of language: early word learning may be driven in part by contextual diversity in the learning environment, with contextual diversity in caregiver speech correlating with th...
