Genes that act downstream of sensory neurons to influence longevity, dauer formation, and pathogen responses in Caenorhabditis elegans. by Marta M Gaglia, Dae-Eun Jeong, Eun-A Ryu, Dongyeop Lee, Cynthia Kenyon, Seung-Jae Lee

“…Using whole-genome microarray analysis, we identified transcripts whose levels are altered by mutations in the intraflagellar transport protein daf-10, which result in impaired development and function of many sensory neurons in C. elegans. In agreement with existing genetic data, the expression of genes regulated by the transcription factor DAF-16/FOXO was affected by daf-10 mutations. …”

Toward understanding sexual immune dimorphism in humans by Tomasz J. Nowak, Michael P. Muehlenbein

“…Genetic factors, including X-linked immune-related genes and cellular mosaicism, further contribute to the observed dimorphism, as do epigenetic mechanisms that modulate immune gene expression. From an evolutionary perspective, life history theory explains these differences as the result of trade-offs between reproductive strategies and immune function, with females prioritizing robust immunity for offspring survival and males balancing immune investment with reproductive fitness. …”

A threshold equation for action potential initiation. by Jonathan Platkiewicz, Romain Brette

“…Finally, we observed that threshold variability in models depends crucially on the shape of the Na activation function near spike initiation (about -55 mV), while its parameters are adjusted near half-activation voltage (about -30 mV), which might explain why many models exhibit little threshold variability, contrary to experimental observations. …”
