Mechanisms for partial reproductive isolation in a Bombina hybrid zone in Romania
… of habitat, natural selection in tadpoles and phenotypic adaptation of the tadpoles to the favored habitat contribute essentially to reproduktive isolation.

Influence of protein nutrition and exercise on muscle metabolism
… protein synthesis and, potentially, long-term phenotypic adaptation. Protein nutrition has traditionally been considered in the context of resistance exercise. Endurance exercise followed by protein ingestion increases the synthesis of mixed muscle protein via increased mRNA translation. …

Disease susceptibility and phenotypic adaptations as seen through the lens of comparative functional genomics
… in biology is understanding the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity and disease susceptibility. In mammals, trait evolution and disease mechanisms are largely driven by changes in gene expression and their regulation. These changes often result from sequence variations within the genome, which …

Human Origins: Hidden Nonlinear Dynamics in Brain-Culture Coevolution
… processes might actually depend upon a single phenotypic adaptation for behavioural modernity: cognitive modernity. Using models from the fields of computational neuroscience and cultural evolution, I demonstrate that cognitive modernity can evolve through a parsimonious process, only requiring …

Ecology, Ecophysiology and Morpho-colorimetric analysis of wild grapevines populations of Sardinia and relationships with some autochthonous cultivars
… during the dry summer conditions, suggesting a phenotypic adaptation to different microclimates. Through the measurement of 113 morpho-colorimetric discriminant parameters on seeds, of which: 33 coming from morpho-colorimetric measurements and 80 coming from the EFDs method we have obtained some …

A role for environmental epigenetics in the rapid diversification of East African cichlid fishes
Phenotypic plasticity via gene-environment interaction is a central feature of regulatory biology. By definition, phenotypic plasticity involves a change in gene regulation. These gene regulatory transitions are commonly mediated by an array of epigenetic mechanisms, which exert dynamic, …

Phenotypic dynamics of rectal cancer under neoadjuvant therapy: a multi-omic single-cell perspective from patient-derived organoids [Evoluzione fenotipica del carcinoma del retto durante terapia neoadiuvante: una prospettiva multi-omica a singola cellula da organoidi derivati dal paziente]
Questo studio esplora i meccanismi di adattamento fenotipico e l’eterogeneità intratumorale (ITH) nel carcinoma colorettale, con particolare attenzione alle forme localmente avanzate di carcinoma del retto. La resistenza terapeutica rappresenta una delle principali sfide in oncologia; comprenderne …
