Nutritional and hormonal regulation of uncoupling protein 2.
TL;DR: Light is shed on the nutritional and hormonal regulation of UCP2 and on its physiological roles that can dissipate metabolic energy as heat as efficiently as UCP1 is open to dispute.

TL;DR: The phylogeny suggested that Hexanchiformes is in the superorder Squalomorphi, Chlamydoselachus anguineus (frilled shark) is the sister species to all other Hexanchiales, and the relations within Hex Anchiformes are well resolved.
Double expression of CD34 and CD117 on bone marrow progenitors is a hallmark of the development of functional mast cell of Callithrix jacchus (common marmoset)

TL;DR: The results suggest that this marmoset system provides a good model for human MC development, similarly to human MCs.

TL;DR: Two parts of the Caja-B sequences with 1,079 kb in total are determined and indicate that the MHC-B/C segment has been under permanent selective pressure in the evolution of primates.
Genomic Sequence Analysis of the MHC Class I G/F Segment in Common Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus)
Azumi Kono,Markus Brameier,Christian Roos,Shingo Suzuki,Atsuko Shigenari,Yoshie Kametani,Kazutaka Kitaura,Takaji Matsutani,Ryuji Suzuki,Hidetoshi Inoko,Lutz Walter,Takashi Shiina +11 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis suggests segmental duplications of units consisting of basically five MHC class I genes, with subsequent expansion/deletion of genes, indicating that this genomic segment was formed in New World monkeys after the split of New World and Old World monkeys.
