Nature and Nurture of Human Pain by Inna Belfer

“…As for many other complex behaviors, the sources of this variability come from both nurture (environment) and nature (genes). Here, I will discuss how these factors contribute to human pain separately and via interplay and how epigenetic mechanisms add to the complexity of their effects.…”

Narkomfin’s new life. A ‘prosthesis’ for Ginzburg and Milinis’s masterpiece by Luca Lanini, Giorgia Puccinelli

“…The article’s object is to recover the original purpose of the Narkomfin through a satellite architecture that embraces some of the functions no longer in use in the famous building by Ginzburg and Milinis, thus renewing its role as a ‘social condenser’ in contemporary post-Soviet Moscow. The strategy here presented is also a possible ‘good practice’ for the maintenance/modification/reuse of similar complexes, very common in the former Soviet Bloc countries as in the Western post-war social housing heritage, through an advanced tool for housing support.…”

Perinatal Development of the Motor Systems Involved in Postural Control by Laurent Vinay, Faïza Ben-Mabrouk, Frédéric Brocard, François Clarac, Céline Jean-Xavier, Edouard Pearlstein, Jean-François Pflieger

“…Motor behaviors of some species, such as the rat and the human baby, are quite immature at birth. Here we review recent data on some of the mechanisms underlying the postnatal maturation of posture in the rat, in particular the development of pathways descending from the brain stem and projecting onto the lumbar enlargement of the spinal cord. …”

Spatio‐Temporal Patterns of Hybridization in an Alloploid Salamander (Ambystomatidae: Ambystoma) and Conservation Implications of Introgression in a Unisexual Vertebrate by Alessa V. Laserna, Christopher A. Phillips, Andrew R. Kuhns, Mark A. Davis, Joel B. Corush, Ken N. Paige

“…Understanding the stability of these lineages over time can inform our understanding of the advantages of an asexual mode of life. Here we investigate a gynogenetic allopolyploid triploid, the Silvery Salamander (LJJ—historically referred to as Ambystoma platineum), an asexual lineage closely related to A. barbouri. …”

Persistence and emergence of X4 virus in HIV infection by Ariel D. Weinberger, Alan S. Perelson

“…Thus, highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), which increases CD4+ T cell counts and decreases cellular activation levels, inhibits X4 viral growth. However, we show here that even in the simplest dual-strain framework, competition between R5 and X4 viruses often results in accelerated X4 emergence in response to CCR5 inhibition, further highlighting the potential danger of anti-CCR5 monotherapy in multi-strain HIV infection.…”
