DIVERGENCE IN PLANT TRAITS AND INCREASED MODULARITY UNDERLIE REPEATED TRANSITIONS BETWEEN LOW AND HIGH ELEVATIONS IN THE ANDEAN GENUS LEUCHERIA

Divergence in Plant Traits and Increased Modularity Underlie Repeated Transitions Between Low and High Elevations in the Andean Genus Leucheria

Understanding why some plant lineages move from one climatic region to another is a mayor goal of evolutionary biology.In the southern Andes plant lineages that have migrated along mountain ranges tracking cold-humid climates coexist with lineages that have shifted repeatedly between warm-arid at low elevations and cold habitats at high elevations.

Axonal Protection by Oral Nicotinamide Riboside Treatment with Upregulated AMPK Phosphorylation in a Rat Glaucomatous Degeneration Model

Nicotinamide riboside (NR), a precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), has been studied to support human health against metabolic stress, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disease.In the present study, we investigated the effects of oral NR on axonal damage in a rat ocular hypertension model.Intraocular pressure (IOP) elev
