On two new species of deep-sea carrier crabs (Crustacea, Brachyura, Homolodromiidae, ) from Taiwan and the Philippines, with notes on other Indo-West Pacific species.

The systematics of four species of the homolodromiid genus A. Milne-Edwards, 1880, from East Asia and the Philippines is reappraised: Ng & McLay, 2005, Ortmann, 1892, Guinot, 1993, and Guinot, 1995; and key characters such as the epistome, gonopods, and spermatheca are figured in detail. Two new species, and , are described from Taiwan and the Philippines, respectively.

, a new species of vampire crab (Crustacea, Brachyura, Sesarmidae) from a limestone cave in central Sarawak, Malaysia.

A new species of semi-terrestrial crab of the genus (Sesarmidae) is described from a limestone cave in central Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. is characterised by its quadrate carapace, absence of a flagellum on the exopod of the third maxilliped, presence of 10 or 11 sharp tubercles on the dactylus of the chela and a diagnostic male first gonopod structure. This is the sixth species of reported from Sarawak, and the first member of the genus collected from inside caves.

Annotated checklist of the land snail fauna from southern Cambodia (Mollusca, Gastropoda).

Prior to this study, few collections and records were made of the land snails in Cambodia and the historical taxa had never been reviewed. Herein a report on the land snail diversity based on specimens collected recently from karstic and non-karstic areas in southern Cambodia is provided. This checklist presents 36 species of land snails (two Neritimorpha, six Caenogastropoda, and 28 Heterobranchia).

, a new species of semi-terrestrial sesarmid crab (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura) from central Taiwan.

A new species of semi-terrestrial sesarmid crab of the genus De Man, 1892, is described from central Taiwan. is distinct in possessing a strong transverse crest on the inner surface of the male chela and a diagnostic male first gonopod which is relatively long and stout, with the distal chitinous part broad and spatuliform. Like most species, has large eggs and direct development, contrasting with the only other species known from Taiwan, Ng, Liu and Schubart, 2004, which has small eggs and planktotrophic larvae.

On a new species of freshwater crab, , from northern Myanmar (Crustacea, Brachyura, Potamidae).

A new species of freshwater crab of the genus Yeo & Ng, 2007 (family Potamidae), is described from highlands north of Myitkyina in Kachin State, Myanmar. is distinguished from congeners by its very rugose carapace, broad male pleon and distinctively structured male first gonopod; and is the first potamid species recorded from northern Myanmar.

Hematopoiesis specific loss of Cdk2 and Cdk4 results in increased erythrocyte size and delayed platelet recovery following stress.

Mouse knockouts of Cdk2 and Cdk4 are individually viable whereas the double knockouts are embryonic lethal due to heart defects, and this precludes the investigation of their overlapping roles in definitive hematopoiesis. Here we use a conditional knockout mouse model to investigate the effect of combined loss of Cdk2 and Cdk4 in hematopoietic cells. Cdk2(fl/fl)Cdk4(-/-)vavCre mice are viable but displayed a significant increase in erythrocyte size.
