Transformation of metabolism with age and lifestyle in Antarctic seals: a case study of systems biology approach to cross-species microarray experiment
Background: The metabolic transformation that changes Weddell seal pups born on land into aquatic animals is not only interesting for the study of general biology, but it also provides a model …

Independent elaboration of steroid hormone signaling pathways in Metazoans
Steroid hormones regulate many physiological processes in vertebrates, nematodes and arthropods through binding to nuclear receptors (NR), a metazoan-specific family of ligand-activated transcripti…

Animal emergence during Snowball Earths by thermosynthesis in submarine hydrothermal vents
Darwin already commented on the lateness in the fossil record of the emergence of the animals, calling it a valid argument against his theory of evolution1. This emergence of the animals (metazoa…

Aging as a consequence of misrepair—A novel theory of aging
It is now increasingly realized that the underlying mechanisms which govern aging is a complex interplay of genetic regulation and damage accumulation. Aging as a result of accumulation of ‘faults’…

3D model of amphioxus steroid receptor complexed with estradiol
The origins of signaling by vertebrate steroids are not fully understood. An important advance was the report that an estrogen-binding steroid receptor [SR] is present in amphioxus, a basal chorda…

Temporal dynamics of travelling theta wave activity in infants responding to visual looming
A fundamental property of most animals is the ability to see whether an object is approaching on a direct collision course and, if so, when it will collide. Using high-density electroencephalograph…
