Longitudinal development of cognitive mapping from childhood to adolescence.
Published in Journal of experimental child psychology
Cross-sectional studies have suggested that the ability to form cognitive maps increases throughout childhood and reaches adult levels during early adolescence. However, adults show large individual differences in their ability to relate local routes to form a global map. Children also vary, but when does variation stabilize? We asked participants ...
Into a dilemma of plants: the antagonism between chemical defenses and growth.
Published in Plant molecular biology
Chemical defenses are imperative for plant survival, but their production is often associated with growth restrictions. Here we review the most recent theories to explain this complex dilemma of plants. Plants are a nutritional source for a myriad of pests and pathogens that depend on green tissues to complete their life cycle. Rather than remainin...

Respiratory, gene and protein expression data for adult sheep muscle exposed to cortisol in utero together with biometry and hormonal data Excel spread sheet containing the data presented in the publication below that investigated the effects of prenatal cortisol infusion on mitochondrial function in two skeletal muscles (Biceps femoris, BF, and Se...
Post-synaptic specialization of the neuromuscular junction: junctional folds formation, function, and disorders
Published in Cell & Bioscience
Post-synaptic specialization is critical to the neurotransmitter release and action potential conduction. The neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) are the synapses between the motor neurons and muscle cells and have a more specialized post-synaptic membrane than synapses in the central nervous system (CNS). The sarcolemma within NMJ folded to form some i...
Streamlined and quantitative detection of chimerism using digital PCR
Published in Scientific Reports
Animal chimeras are widely used for biomedical discoveries, from developmental biology to cancer research. However, the accurate quantitation of mixed cell types in chimeric and mosaic tissues is complicated by sample preparation bias, transgenic silencing, phenotypic similarity, and low-throughput analytical pipelines. Here, we have developed and ...
Anillin governs mitotic rounding during early epidermal development
Published in BMC Biology
Background The establishment of tissue architecture requires coordination between distinct processes including basement membrane assembly, cell adhesion, and polarity; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. The actin cytoskeleton is ideally situated to orchestrate tissue morphogenesis due to its roles in mechanical, structural...
Oldest preserved umbilical scar reveals dinosaurs had ‘belly buttons’
Published in BMC Biology
Background In egg-laying amniotes, the developing embryo is tethered to a number of the extraembryonic membranes including the yolk sac and allantois that deliver oxygen and nutrients and remove metabolic waste products throughout embryonic development. Prior to, or soon after hatching, these membranes detach from the animal leaving a temporary or ...

Development as an Intellectual Process: The Role and Significance of African Intellectuals in Rethinking African Politic...
This article contributes to rethinking African politics by viewing the continent’s development as an intellectual process in which resources are created for the satisfaction of human needs. Central to this process is the primacy of production of resources over their distribution and consumption. Therefore, development as an intellectual process in ...
