East African families are heterogeneous institutions, fluid and in transformation. The region is home to a range of competing and sometimes contradictory value systems, with a variety of ethics, codes and practices regarding such matters as marriage, divorce and bridewealth. The intertwining of multiple value systems, together with demographic shif...
OBJECTIVE: This study analysed the progression of proximal aortic neck diameter in patients with asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms, treated by endovascular aortic repair using four different, contemporary types of endograft. METHODS: This is a retrospective study of four cohorts of 30 patients presenting with asymptomatic abdominal aortic ane...
Synaptic connectivity within adult circuits exhibits a remarkable degree of cellular and subcellular specificity. We report that the axon guidance receptor Robo2 plays a role in establishing synaptic specificity in hippocampal CA1. In vivo, Robo2 is present and required postsynaptically in CA1 pyramidal neurons (PNs) for the formation of excitatory...

The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a strictly regulated process that is indispensable for normal development, but it can result in fibrosis and cancer progression. It encompasses a complete alteration of the cellular transcriptomic profile, promoting the expression of genes involved in cellular migration, invasion and proliferation. ...

In recent decades, India has witnessed a rapid pace of migration from areas with intensive agriculture to populated megacities, which are faced with increasing threat from climate hazards. Greater attention is needed for vulnerable new migrants who lack necessary resources when designing adaptation and mitigation policies.
Additive engineering is emerging as a powerful strategy to further enhance the performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), with the incorporation of bulky cations and amino acid (AA) derivatives being shown as a promising strategy for enhanced device stability. However, the incorporation of such additives typically results in photocurrent losses ...

Coastal regions contribute an estimated 20% of annual gross primary production in the oceans, despite occupying only 0.03% of their surface area. Diatoms frequently dominate coastal sediments, where they experience large variations in light regime resulting from the interplay of diurnal and tidal cycles. Here, we report on an extensive diurnal tran...
