Book Synopsis Embryogeny and Phylogeny of the Human Posture 2 by : Anne Dambricourt Malasse
Download or read book Embryogeny and Phylogeny of the Human Posture 2 written by Anne Dambricourt Malasse and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-01-26 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of the human posture is in the spotlight. The 200-year-old locomotion paradigm can no longer resist the advancement of knowledge, yet 2,500 years of thinking on the place of verticalized human anatomy and its reflexive consciousness in the natural history of life and the Earth, is more relevant than ever. This book retraces these reflections from pre-Socratic philosophers, focusing on the link between verticality and the most complex and consciously reflexive nervous system on the top rung of the ladder of living beings. The origin of animated forms, or animals, was considered metaphysical until the 19th century but reflection on their inception, from fertilization, paved the way for mathematics of infinitesimal geometry and dynamics. The simian filiation was inconceivable until Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck bridged the gap in 1802 with the locomotion postulate to explain the transition from quadrupedal to bipedal posture, sustained by the hypothesis of inheritance of acquired characteristics. This doctrine was overturned in 1987 by the discovery of the embryonic origins of the straightening – specific dynamics linked to neurogenesis – confirming the natural place of human verticality and nervous system complexity with its psychomotor and cognitive consequences. Sapiens find themselves at the physical limit of the straightening while mechanisms of gametogenesis have never ceased in making neurogenesis exponentially more complex. Is the future exclusively terrestrial or does intrauterine hominization open up new perspectives for space exploration? Posturologists, occlusodontics, osteopaths, cognisciences – all anthropological sciences exposed to human verticality are concerned with this discovery, which allows Sapiens to face their natural destiny.

Book Synopsis Asymptomatic Osseous Variations of the Postcranial Human Skeleton by : Emeline Verna
Download or read book Asymptomatic Osseous Variations of the Postcranial Human Skeleton written by Emeline Verna and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-07-26 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since ancient times, asymptomatic bone variations have been studied in many different disciplines. In radiology, for example, they enable the differentiation of the typical from the anomalous, but in biological anthropology they are especially useful in answering questions about humans and their diachronic and synchronic variability. This book provides an easily accessible presentation of the osseous variations of the postcranial skeleton (from the spine to the feet), which are sometimes poorly understood by the scientific community. These variations are examined one by one, with definitions, population frequencies and complete illustrations given for each. Asymptomatic Osseous Variations of the Postcranial Human Skeleton is intended as a comprehensive reference manual for further research on these types of skeletal variations.

Book Synopsis Phyllotaxis and Symmetry in Angiosperms by : Jean-Paul Walch
Download or read book Phyllotaxis and Symmetry in Angiosperms written by Jean-Paul Walch and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-08-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Symmetry and the causes of shifts in different types of symmetries in flowers follow specific patterns that are ruled by developmental and genetic factors. Using a unified system of phyllotaxic equations, we have modeled the molecular mechanisms and pressure forces that act in inflorescence and floral meristems, giving flowers their organ arrangement. In this book, we state general physical principles, whereby the symmetry of the perianth is derived from the symmetry of certain TCP gene expression. Thus, we define the interplay between the expression of CYC2-like genes and the phyllotactic mechanisms. This new evo-devo approach is applied to major groups of angiosperms with predominantly actinomorphic flowers (in which rare zygomorphy is positional) and groups with mainly bilaterally symmetrical flowers (in which zygomorphy is constitutional). It has thus allowed us to revisit the contributions of the great floral morphologists of the 20th and early 21st centuries.

Download or read book Biobanks in Healthcare written by Nicole Arrighi and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-12-12 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biobanks ensuring the governance and management of biological resources have become essential entities. The development of biotechnologies, the increased prevalence of biological drugs and the identification of biomarkers associated with molecular classifications of tissue lesions make it essential to have organized access to human biological samples, which have become precious and rare. The digital era and the production of massive data that comes with it have rendered biobanks the guarantors of the reproducibility of experiments and of the overall quality of medical research. Biobanks in Healthcare explores the upheaval linked to the massive deployment of digital health and precision medicine. The future of health biology lies in the deployment of biobanks in fields that have yet to be explored, putting them at the forefront of this extraordinary 21st-century research adventure.
Book Synopsis Structures and Functions of Retroviral RNAs by : Philippe Fosse
Download or read book Structures and Functions of Retroviral RNAs written by Philippe Fosse and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-09-12 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One family of viruses is responsible for the infection of many species of vertebrates. These are the retroviruses whose genomic RNA is used to support genetic information and ensures many essential functions that are required for the formation of an infectious viral particle. These functions depend on structures formed by the folding of the genomic RNA. Structures and Functions of Retroviral RNAs describes the formation of these structures and their specific interactions with nucleic acids and proteins. In light of recent advances in molecular virology, it provides an understanding of the various facets of the retroviral genome. It emphasizes in particular that the study of the structure–function relationship of retroviral RNAs is a driving force behind increased research into HIV-1, the main causal agent of AIDS. Indeed, one of the challenges of pharmacology lies in the exploitation of several targets which allow us to anticipate and stem the emergence of resistance to anti-HIV drugs. The book also presents structures and interactions that may be potential future targets in this regard.
Book Synopsis Fifty Years of Evolution in Biological Research by : Jacques Balthazart
Download or read book Fifty Years of Evolution in Biological Research written by Jacques Balthazart and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in biology and all basic sciences has undergone profound transformations in recent decades. We have seen the development of extremely sophisticated techniques, allowing us to study, in an objective manner, questions that were still considered science fiction at the end of the 20th century. All of this has allowed us to develop an in-depth knowledge of vast subjects, such as the biology of the brain, for example. Fifty Years of Evolution in Biological Research presents a panorama of these different technical advances. However, at the same time, there has been an increase in the number of constraints on researchers, a monetization of research and a correlative pressure to continually publish in more prestigious journals. This has resulted in a certain degradation of the quality of research activity. This book analyzes this evolution and proposes solutions.
Book Synopsis Phyllotaxis Models by : Jean-Paul Walch
Download or read book Phyllotaxis Models written by Jean-Paul Walch and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-07-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The equations of phyllotaxis were discovered by Douady and Couder: these describe the inhibition "force" generated by an incipient primordium, preventing the initiation of other primordia in its vicinity: the method that was lacking was to take into account the distance of primordia to the meristem apex over the course of its development. With these parameters, our model integrates both biochemical "forces" (inhibition due to auxin) and mechanical forces (contact pressure). This powerful tool allows us to revisit many important notions of plant biology. For example, we model auxin concentrations at the plant apex, as well as the development of vegetative and reproductive meristems. We also explain why the whorls of monocots are trimerous and those of plants with quincuncial perianths are pentamerous. We design a geometric method for reconstructing inflorescences from their building blocks, i.e. floral meristems. We also show that phyllotaxic spirals are only the application of a general property of symmetry, the advantages of which have been exploited by natural selection.
Book Synopsis Looking at Ribozymes by : Benoît Masquida
Download or read book Looking at Ribozymes written by Benoît Masquida and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-04-02 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind the neologism “ribozymes” lies a family of fascinating molecules, ribo-enzymes, which have been relatively little studied. These catalytically active RNAs are found in all strata of life, from viruses to the human genome. At the end of the 1970s, the discovery of a catalytic RNA nestled in an intron, followed by another involved in the maturation of transfer RNAs, led to the discovery of new ribozymes and the transition from a strictly “proteocentric” vision, inherited from the dogma of molecular biology, to a more “nucleocentric” one. Since then, a variety of ribozymes have been identified in genomes, where their functions often remain mysterious. Looking at Ribozymes traces the discovery of these molecules and presents a picture of their functional diversity, catalytic mechanisms and distribution within the tree of life.
Book Synopsis Concepts in Biology by : Marc Gilbert
Download or read book Concepts in Biology written by Marc Gilbert and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive review of the history of concepts of the endocrine, nervous and immune systems throughout the last century. Historically, these systems were long considered as compartments that performed separate and different functions. However, a breakthrough occurred when advances in genetics and cellular and molecular biology techniques revealed that these systems shared molecular entities (such as cytokines, hormones and neurotransmitters) with their cognate receptors. These molecular links between the three systems broaden our understanding of the regulation of physiological processes. This approach has generated a multiplicity of new concepts, including crosstalk between organs, axis, feedback, molecular sensors, protein multi-functionality, positive and negative signaling ratios and pathways (such as cell signaling, metabolism and stem cell differentiation, to name a few). The improvement of experimental approaches has often resulted in major discoveries. This, combined with clear reasoning, intuition and coherence gave rise to new and unexpected concepts, and sometimes evolving ones. These new concepts lead the reader to the incredible transformation of biology in recent years.
Book Synopsis Self-Organization as a New Paradigm in Evolutionary Biology by : Anne Dambricourt Malassé
Download or read book Self-Organization as a New Paradigm in Evolutionary Biology written by Anne Dambricourt Malassé and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-07-04 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The epistemological synthesis of the various theories of evolution, since the first formulation in 1802 with the transmission of the inherited characters by J.B. Lamarck, shows the need for an alternative synthesis to that of Princeton (1947). This new synthesis integrates the scientific models of self-organization developed during the second half of the 20th century based on the laws of physics, thermodynamics, and mathematics with the emergent evolutionary problematics such as self-organized memory. This book shows, how self-organization is integrated in modern evolutionary biology. It is divided in two parts: The first part pays attention to the modern observations in paleontology and biology, which include major theoreticians of the self-organization (d’Arcy Thompson, Henri Bergson, René Thom, Ilya Prigogine). The second part presents different emergent evolutionary models including the sciences of complexity, the non-linear dynamical systems, fractals, attractors, epigenesis, systemics, and mesology with different examples of the sciences of complexity and self-organization as observed in the human lineage, from both internal (embryogenesis-morphogenesis) and external (mesology) viewpoints.

Download or read book The Human Placenta written by C. Redman and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1993-01-18 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The placenta is fascinating and complex. Basically foreign to the maternal body, it can be thought of as an organ transplanted onto the mother's host tissue. As such it embodies all the principles of tissue acceptance and rejection. Many of the risks of pregnancy and labor have now been eliminated and the placenta is likely to be at the root of many of the dangers to the unborn child that remain. A breakdown of the relationship between the placenta and the maternal tissue may turn out to be the cause of the majority of early lost pregnancies.
