Aberrant singing is associated with developmental stress and zero fitness in a male White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis)

Oscine birdsong signals species identity, and individual quality, and functions as a cue for mate selection.Thus, producing an atypical song may have deleterious fitness effects.Nevertheless, learning during song development deems the vocal phenotype labile, creating the potential for errors, which may be elevated by developmental stress.Indeed, de

Peroxidasin Deficiency Re-programs Macrophages Toward Pro-fibrolysis Function and Promotes Collagen Resolution in LiverSummary

Background & Aims: During liver fibrosis, tissue repair mechanisms Baby Hot Cereals replace necrotic tissue with highly stabilized extracellular matrix proteins.Extracellular matrix stabilization influences the speed of tissue recovery.Here, we studied the expression and function of peroxidasin (PXDN), a peroxidase that uses hydrogen peroxide t
