We report the case of a 60-year-old woman presenting with polymorphic light eruption occurring solely on an area of acquired naevoid telangiectasia. We have hypothesized that increased blood flow in the telangiectatic skin may reduce the threshold for expression of photosensitivity by permitting enhanced inflammatory cell trafficking to the overlying tissue.

Rhesus macaques (RMs) are vital models for studying human disease, and are invaluable to pre-clinical pipelines for vaccine discovery and testing. Particularly in this regard, they are often used to study infection and vaccine-associated broadly neutralizing antibody responses. This has resulted in an increasing demand for improved genetic resources for the immunoglobulin (IG) loci, which harbor antibody-encoding genes.

Genetic variation in the α5 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunit of mice results in behavioral deficits linked to the prefrontal cortex (PFC). rs16969968 is the primary Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) in CHRNA5 strongly associated with nicotine dependence and schizophrenia in humans. We performed single cell-electrophysiology combined with morphological reconstructions on layer 6 (L6) excitatory neurons in the medial PFC (mPFC) of wild type (WT) rats, rats carrying the human coding polymorphism rs16969968 in Chrna5 and α5 knockout (KO) rats.

Common ash (Fraxinus excelsior) is under intensive attack from the invasive alien pathogenic fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, causing ash dieback at epidemic levels throughout Europe. Previous studies have found significant genetic variation among genotypes in ash dieback susceptibility and that host phenology, such as autumn yellowing, is correlated with susceptibility of ash trees to H. fraxineus; however, the genomic basis of ash dieback tolerance in F.

Pampus argenteus, a species distributed throughout the Indo-West Pacific, plays a significant role in the yield of aquaculture species. However, cultured P. argenteus has always been characterised by unbalanced growth synchronisation among individuals, slow growth rate, and lack of excellent germplasm resources.

Climate change is a global environmental threat, directly affecting biodiversity. Terrestrial gastropods are particularly susceptible to alterations in temperature and humidity and have develop morph-physiological and behavioural adaptations in this regard. Shell colour polymorphism and its potential implication for thermoresistance constitute an unexplored field in Neotropical land snails.
