    • Human Adult Olfactory Bulb Neurogenesis? Novelty Is the Best Policy 

      Macklis, Jeffrey Daniel (Elsevier, 2012)
      There is ongoing controversy as to whether the understanding of adult mammalian neurogenesis gained from rodent studies is applicable to humans. In this issue of Neuron, Bergmann et al. (2012) propose that adult human ...

      Zhang, Haoqi; Law, Edith Lok Man; Miller, Robert C.; Gajos, Krzysztof Z; Parkes, David C.; Horvitz, Eric (Association for Computing Machinery, 2012)
      An important class of tasks that are underexplored in current human computation systems are complex tasks with global constraints. One example of such a task is itinerary planning, where solutions consist of a sequence ...

(Public Library of Science, 2013)
      Although genetic and non-genetic studies in mouse and human implicate the CD40 pathway in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), there are no approved drugs that inhibit CD40 signaling for clinical care in RA or any other disease. ...

    • The Human Gluteus Maximus and its Role in Running 

      Lieberman, Daniel Eric; Raichlen, David A.; Pontzer, Herman; Bramble, Dennis M.; Cutright-Smith, Elizabeth (The Company of Biologists, 2006)
      The human gluteus maximus is a distinctive muscle in terms of size, anatomy and function compared to apes and other non-human primates. Here we employ electromyographic and kinematic analyses of human subjects to test the ...

    • The human iliotibial band is specialized for elastic energy storage compared with the chimp fascia lata 

      Eng, Carolyn Margaret; Arnold, A. S.; Biewener, Andrew Austin; Lieberman, Daniel E. (The Company of Biologists, 2015)
      This study examines whether the human iliotibial band (ITB) is specialized for elastic energy storage relative to the chimpanzee fascialata (FL). To quantify the energy storage potential of these structures, we created ...

      Foster, David Russell; Fluet, M.; Boose, E. R. (Wiley-Blackwell, 1999)
      Increasingly, ecologists are recognizing that human disturbance has played an important role in tropical forest history and that many assumptions concerning the relative importance of natural processes warrant re-examination. ...

    • Human pluripotent stem cells recurrently acquire and expand dominant negative P53 mutations
