Vascular endothelial cells present luminal chemokines that arrest rolling leukocytes by activating integrins. It appears that several chemokines must form higher-order oligomers to elicit proper in vivo effects, as mutants ...

In several papers, it has been argued that two migratory species, the pied and the collared flycatcher, Ficedula hypoleuca and F. albicollis, take clutch size of a resident bird, the great tit Parus major, into account ...

Plant reproduction in the Arctic is challenging, and tight energy budgets, short growing season and the limited number of pollinators favour self-pollination. Self-pollination over time will, however, have a negative effect ...

Mechanical factors such as stretch are thought to be important in the regulation of muscle phenotype. Small muscle protein X-linked (SMPX) is upregulated by stretch in skeletal muscle and has been suggested to serve both ...
