We provide evidence to support the contention that many aspects of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are related to interregional brain functional disconnectivity associated with maturational delays in the development of brain networks. We think a delay in brain maturation in some networks may result in an increase in cortical maturation and development in other networks, leading to a developmental asynchrony and an unevenness of functional skills and symptoms. The paper supports the close relationship between retained primitive reflexes and cognitive and motor function in general and in ASD in particular provided to indicate that the inhibition of RPRs can effect positive change in ASD.

Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) metamaterials show promise for thermal management systems but are challenging to integrate into existing packaging with strict mechanical requirements. Composite TPMS lattices may offer more control over thermal and mechanical properties through material and geometric tuning. Here, we fabricate copper-plated, 3D-printed triply periodic minimal surface primitive lattices and evaluate their suitability for battery thermal management systems.

Because its phylogenetic position has not been well investigated, the present study describes the osteology, myology and other morphological features of H. ambagiosus, and reassesses the phylogenetic position of the species, and its relationships with related taxa.

The lamprey serves as a key model organism for studying the origin and evolution of species, embryonic development, and the immune system. The immune system primarily relies on pattern recognition receptors, including Toll-like receptors (TLRs), with Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) having a particularly complex evolutionary history. Currently, although TLR5 is being identified in an expanding array of taxonomic groups, a comprehensive study on its evolutionary aspects is yet to be conducted.

Division is crucial for replicating biological compartments and, by extension, a fundamental aspect of life. Current studies highlight the importance of simple vesicular structures in prebiotic conditions, yet the mechanisms behind their self-division remain poorly understood. Recent research suggests that environmental factors can induce phase transitions in fatty acid-based protocells, leading to vesicle fission.

Chloroplasts are photosynthetic organelles that evolved through the endosymbiosis between cyanobacteria-like symbionts and hosts. Many studies have attempted to isolate intact chloroplasts to analyze their morphological characteristics and photosynthetic activity. Although several studies introduced isolated chloroplasts into the cells of different species, their photosynthetic activities have not been confirmed.
