Techno-structural and 3-D geometric morphometric analysis applied for investigating the variability of Holocene unifacial tools in tropical Central Brazil. by Marina González-Varas, Antoine Lourdeau, Letícia Gonçalves, Rafael Lemos de Souza, Diego Teixeira Mendes, Tatyana Beltrão de Oliveira, Gustavo Furlaneto Silva, Hubert Forestier, Rolando Romero, Antonio Pérez-Balarezo

“…However, the factors influencing their morphological and structural variability remain largely unexplored, obscuring our understanding of their ergonomics and their role as mediators between humans and tropical environments. This study hypothesizes that the variability observed within and among unifacial tools from the GO-Ni sites in Central Brazil is a result of a combination of factors, including raw material availability and functional and ergonomic requirements. …”

Utilisation of an in vivo malaria model to provide functional proof for RhopH1/CLAG essentiality and conserved orthology with P. falciparum by Mitchell L. Trickey, Mrittika Chowdury, Georgina Bramwell, Natalie A. Counihan, Tania F. de Koning-Ward

“…The NPPs are critical to parasite survival and, therefore, in the pursuit of novel therapeutics are an attractive drug target. The NPPs of the human parasite, P. falciparum, have been linked to the RhopH complex, with the monoallelic paralogues clag3.1 and clag3.2 encoding the protein RhopH1/CLAG3 that likely forms the NPP channel-forming component. …”
