SYSTEMIC ALTERATIONS AND BRAIN CHANGES IN PHYSIOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY. THE OCTODON DEGUS AS A MODEL OF AGING AND MULTIMORBIDITY
… di "vita libera dalla malattia". Al contrario, l'incidenza e l'impatto (sociale ed economico) delle malattie legate all'età sono aumentati in parallelo. Per tutti questi motivi, lo studio dei meccanismi associati all'invecchiamento è un'area di vitale importanza per identificare quali …

Growth Effects of Light and Plant Competition in a High Yield Environment (Soybeans; Zea Mays)
Studies were conducted to determine the effects of light in a high yield environment on corn Zea mays L.) yields and nutrient uptake, and to explain these effects based on changes in physiology, ontogeny, and physical characteristics. Strip intercropping was experimented with as a possible cultural …

Generalizable neural network representations of patient state in the intensive care unit
Understanding changes in physiology in patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is important in determining care decisions. Machine learning algorithms have been used to model patient physiology to predict patient outcomes and administration of interventions. These predictions can be made directly …

Endogenous RNAi pathways are required in neurons for dauer formation in Caenorhabditis elegans
… can adapt to unfavorable environments through changes in physiology and behavior. For Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes, environmental conditions perceived early in development determine whether the animal enters the reproductive cycle or enters into an alternative diapause stage called dauer. …

Guilt in Childhood: Intersections with Regulatory Functioning and Implications for Aggression
We know that guilt plays an important role in managing social behavior across development, particularly in reducing the likelihood of aggression against others. However, this is to a large extent where developmental research on the adaptive nature of guilt stands, as few studies have ventured …

A Cognitive-Motivational Approach to Understanding Gendered Sexual Response: the Role of Attentional Mechanisms
Sexual arousal involves changes in physiology, emotions, and cognitions, and is positively associated with sexual outcomes (e.g., sexual activity, sexual desire) and well-being (e.g., physical and mental health, overall quality of life). As such, factors that influence sexual arousal are expected …

Relationships of cognitive appraisal
… is a pivotal construct that has been identified in determining the stress response and coping response. Researchers have shown specific physiological outcomes of initial cognitive appraisals that are taken more as a threat or a challenge. Cognitive appraisal is known to fluctuate, but little is …

Molecular Genetic Analysis of Cyclic GMP Signaling in Higher Plants
<p>Understanding the mechanisms by which light signals are transmitted within a plant to elicit changes in physiology and gene expression is a primary goal of current research. Recently, significant insights have been gained regarding the signal transduction pathway that is regulated by the …

Bioelectronic in vitro models for monitoring intestinal host-pathogen interactions
The human gastrointestinal tract is a highly complex, dynamic interface where host-microbe interactions not only underpin digestion and immunity but also disease pathogenesis. Studying this in vitro requires models that not only sufficiently recapitulate the physiological complexity of the barrier …

Understanding and predicting pulmonary exacerbations in Cystic Fibrosis using Machine Learning
… Fibrosis (CF) is the most prevalent, life-limiting, multi-system, genetic disorder, affecting over 100,000 individuals globally. The condition is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis trans-membrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which corrupts the instructions for making the …

The role of Gamma-aminobutyric acid and Hydrogen peroxide in cell death in grape berry development
Loss of cell vitality (i.e., cell death) in the mesocarp of grape berries occurs during ripening. However, cell death is genotype-dependent and modulated by increasing temperatures and drought. Cell death and associated berry shrivel negatively affect the grape quality and wine chemistry. The …
