Nouvelles données sur les caractéristiques morphologiques immatures du crâne chez les Homo erectus asiatiques by Antoine Balzeau

“…Our purpose is to test the validity of the features generally used to estimate the developmental age of these fossils and to convey new information about the juvenile features of the cephalic skeleton in the species Homo erectus. Our results illustrate that growth standards defined for modern humans are not suitable to study the growth and development in Homo erectus. …”

The Polymorphisms with Cataract Susceptibility Impair the EPHA2 Receptor Stability and Its Cytoprotective Function by Jin Yang, Dan Li, Qi Fan, Lei Cai, Xiaodi Qiu, Peng Zhou, Yi Lu

“…Furthermore, our results suggest that the downstream signaling of activated EPHA2 promotes the antioxidative capacity of lens epithelial cells to eradicate the overproduction of reactive oxygen species. In contrast, the overexpression of EPHA2 with nonsynonymous mutations in the lens epithelial cells offered limited antioxidative protection against oxidative stress. …”
