Pterosaurs were the first vertebrates to evolve powered flight1 and comprised one of the main evolutionary radiations in terrestrial ecosystems of the Mesozoic era (approximately 252–66 million years ago), but their origin has remained an unresolved enigma in palaeontology since the nineteenth century2,3,4. These flying reptiles have been hypothesized to be the close relatives of a wide...

Systematics of Vriesea (Bromeliaceae): phylogenetic relationships based on nuclear gene and partial plastome sequences

Machado, Talita Mota ; Loiseau, Oriane ; Paris, Margot ; Weigand, Anna ; Versieux, Leonardo M ; Stehmann, João Renato ; Lexer, Christian ; Salamin, Nicolas

In: Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2020, vol. 192, no. 4, p. 656–674

Vriesea is the second largest genus in Tillandsioideae, the most diverse subfamily of Bromeliaceae. Although recent studies focusing on Tillandsioideae have improved the systematics of Vriesea, no consensus has been reached regarding the circumscription of the genus. Here, we present a phylogenetic analysis of core Tillandsioideae using the nuclear gene phyC and plastid data obtained from...

The PARP inhibitor olaparib exerts beneficial effects in mice subjected to cecal ligature and puncture and in cells subjected to oxidative stress without impairing DNA integrity: A potential opportunity for repurposing a clinically used oncological drug for the experimental therapy of sepsis

Ahmad, Akbar ; Vieira, Juliana de Camargo ; Mello, Aline Haas de ; Lima, Thais Martins de ; Ariga, Suely Kubo ; Barbeiro, Denise Frediani ; Barbeiro, Hermes Vieira ; Szczesny, Bartosz ; Törö, Gábor ; Druzhyna, Nadiya ; B.Randi, Elisa ; Marcatti, Michela ; Toliver-Kinsky, Tracy ; Kiss, András ; Liaudet, Lucas ; Salomao, Reinaldo ; Soriano, Francisco Garcia ; Szabo, Csaba

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is involved in the pathogenesis of cell dysfunction, inflammation and organ failure during septic shock. The goal of the current study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of the clinically approved PARP inhibitor olaparib in experimental models of oxidative stress in vitro and in sepsis in vivo. In mice subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)...

Targeted Capture of Hundreds of Nuclear Genes Unravels Phylogenetic Relationships of the Diverse Neotropical Palm Tribe Geonomateae

Loiseau, Oriane ; Olivares, Ingrid ; Paris, Margot ; Harpe, Marylaure de La ; Weigand, Anna ; Koubínová, Darina ; Rolland, Jonathan ; Bacon, Christine D. ; Balslev, Henrik ; Borchsenius, Finn ; Cano, Angela ; Couvreur, Thomas L.

The tribe Geonomateae is a widely distributed group of 103 species of Neotropical palms which contains six ecologically important understory or subcanopy genera. Although it has been the focus of many studies, our understanding of the evolutionary history of this group, and in particular of the taxonomically complex genus Geonoma, is far from complete due to a lack of molecular data....

Anisotropic magnetic excitations and incipient N\’eel order in $\mathrm{Ba}{({\mathrm{Fe}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{x})}_{2}{\mathrm{As}}_{2}$

Garcia, Fernando A. ; Ivashko, Oleh ; McNally, Daniel E. ; Das, Lakshmi ; Piva, Mario M. ; Adriano, C. ; Pagliuso, Pascoal G. ; Chang, Johan ; Schmitt, Thorsten ; Monney, Claude

In: Physical Review B, 2019, vol. 99, no. 11, p. 115118

It is currently understood that high temperature superconductivity (SC) in the transition metal (M) substituted iron arsenides Ba(Fe1−xMx)2As2 is promoted by magnetic excitations with wave vectors (π,0) or (0,π). It is known that while a small amount of Co substitution lead to SC, the same does not occur for Mn for any value of x. In this work, magnetic excitations in the iron arsenides ...
