Empirical Evidence for Various Evolutionary Hypotheses on Species Demonstrating Increasing Mortality with Increasing Chronological Age in the Wild
Published 2008-01-01“…In particular, (1) the existence of many species with a constant, or almost constant, mortality rate, especially the so-called “animals with negligible senescence”; (2) the inverse correlation, observed in mammals and birds in the wild, between extrinsic mortality and the proportion of deaths due to intrinsic mortality; (3) the existence of highly sophisticated, genetically determined, and regulated mechanisms that limit and modulate cell duplication capacities and overall cell functionality. …”

MEIOSIS: HOW TO HALVE THE CHROMOSOME NUMBER
Published 2014-12-01“…This review presents the current notion of the major meiotic events by examples of yeast and mammals. Particular attention is paid to processes underlying chromosome synapsis and recombination, as well as monoorientation of sister kinetochores in the first division, the key features distinguishing meiosis from mitosis and ensuring chromosome number reduction.…”

Thermo‐TRP regulation by endogenous factors and its physiological function at core body temperature
Published 2025-01-01“…Thermo‐TRPs that detect temperature changes in peripheral sensory neurons possess indispensable functions in thermosensation, eliciting defensive behavior against noxious temperatures and driving autonomic/behavioral thermoregulatory responses to maintain body temperature in mammals. Moreover, most thermo‐TRPs are functionally expressed in cells and tissues where the temperature is maintained at a constant core body temperature. …”

Photoperiodic Programming of the SCN and Its Role in Photoperiodic Output
Published 2018-01-01“…Though the seasonal response of organisms to changing day lengths is a phenomenon that has been scientifically reported for nearly a century, significant questions remain about how photoperiod is encoded and effected neurobiologically. In mammals, early work identified the master circadian clock, the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), as a tentative encoder of photoperiodic information. …”

Distinct dynamic regulation of pectoralis muscle metabolomics by insulin and the promotion of glucose-lipid metabolism with extended duration
Published 2025-01-01“…Birds' glycolipid metabolism has garnered considerable attention due to their fasting blood glucose levels being nearly twice those of mammals. While skeletal muscle is the primary insulin-sensitive tissue in mammals, the effects of insulin on chicken skeletal muscle remain unclear. …”
