FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SKULL FORM AND FEEDING MECHANICS IN SPHENODON, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR DIAPSID SKULL DEVELOPMENT.

Functional relationship between skull form and feeding mechanics in Sphenodon, and implications for diapsid skull development.

The vertebrate skull evolved to protect the brain and sense organs, but with the appearance of jaws and associated forces there was a remarkable structural diversification.This suggests that the evolution of skull form may be Corkscrew linked to these forces, but an important area of debate is whether bone in the skull is minimised with respect to

Autocrine Effects of Tumor-Derived Complement

We describe a role for the complement system in enhancing cancer growth.Cancer cells secrete complement proteins that stimulate tumor growth upon activation.Complement promotes tumor growth via a direct autocrine effect that is partially independent of tumor-infiltrating cytotoxic T cells.Activated C5aR and C3aR signal through the PI3K/AKT pathway
