“…In this study, we showed that the non-elderly had significantly more cardiac and encephalic inflammation than the elderly, and that such inflammatory infiltrate decreases with age and depends upon the evolutionary stage of the cysticercus. Furthermore, there are differences concerning gender in the intensity of the inflammatory response due to cysticerci in the heart and brain parenchyma during senescence. …”

Révision de l’espèce Homo erectus (Dubois, 1893) by Valéry Zeitoun

“…The first step is to seek criteria allowing to define this species as a clade or as a grade; id est as a monophyletic unit or as an archaic evolutionary step of the species Homo sapiens. The reconstruction of this evolutionary pattern should be matched with other data (dating, biogeography) to allow to reconstruct a real evolutionary synopsis.According to several authors (Stringer, 1984; Hublin, 1986; Kennedy, 1991; Brauer and Mbua, 1992) the existence of autapomorphic features for Homo erectus is not proved. …”

Molecular Characterization and Evolution Analysis of Two Forms of TLR5 and TLR13 Genes Base on Larimichthys crocea Genome Data by Lihua Jiang, Liyi Pei, Ping Wang, Liqin Liu, Gong Li, Binjian Liu, Zhenming Lǚ, Tabata Hiromasa, Hao Pan, Atsushi Ogura

“…Immunofluorescence staining revealed that TLR5M were localized in the cytoplasm, while TLR5S and TLR13 were in the endosome. The evolutionary analysis has shown that TLR13 was clustered with TLR11, 19, 20, 21, and 22, while TLR5 and TLR3 were classified into a group; these results suggest that TLRs are vital in the defense of L. crocea against bacterial infection and further increase our understanding of TLR function in innate immunity in teleosts.…”

Recognition and cleavage of human tRNA methyltransferase TRMT1 by the SARS-CoV-2 main protease by Angel D'Oliviera, Xuhang Dai, Saba Mottaghinia, Sophie Olson, Evan P Geissler, Lucie Etienne, Yingkai Zhang, Jeffrey S Mugridge

“…We find that Mpro can cleave endogenous TRMT1 in human cell lysate, resulting in removal of the TRMT1 zinc finger domain. Evolutionary analysis shows the TRMT1 cleavage site is highly conserved in mammals, except in Muroidea, where TRMT1 is likely resistant to cleavage. …”

Modeling the Saddle-like GeV–TeV Spectrum of HESS J1809–193: Gamma Rays Arising from Reverse-shocked Pulsar Wind Nebula? by Jiaxu Sun, Yang Chen, Yiwei Bao, Xiao Zhang, Xin Zhou

“…We suggest that the intriguing GeV–TeV spectral energy distribution (SED) of HESS J1809–193 and Fermi-LAT source J1810.3–1925e is very likely to be the gamma-ray signature of PWN J1809–193 in light of the scenario that the PWN was struck by the reverse shock of the parent supernova remnant. Based on the evolutionary theory of PWNe, we consider that, when the PWN was disrupted during a collision by the reverse shock, some VHE electrons escaped impulsively. …”
