Growth

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Quantified growth of the human embryonic heart
    Jaeike W. Faber, Jaco Hagoort, Antoon F. M. Moorman, Vincent M. Christoffels, Bjarke Jensen
    Biology Open 2021 10: bio057059 doi: 10.1242/bio.057059 Published 10 February 2021

    Summary: This paper provides quantitative data on the growth of 58 structures of the human embryonic heart between weeks 4 and 8 of development.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Hormones as adaptive control systems in juvenile fish
    Jacqueline Weidner, Camilla Håkonsrud Jensen, Jarl Giske, Sigrunn Eliassen, Christian Jørgensen
    Biology Open 2020 9: bio046144 doi: 10.1242/bio.046144 Published 17 February 2020

    Summary: We combine physiological, environmental and evolutionary aspects of fish growth in a state-dependent model where the optimal regulation of growth and survival is achieved through hormonal regulation of behaviour.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Characterisation of maturation of photoreceptor cell subtypes during zebrafish retinal development
    Cátia Crespo, Elisabeth Knust
    Biology Open 2018 7: bio036632 doi: 10.1242/bio.036632 Published 31 October 2018

    Summary: We characterised subtype-specific growth of the different photoreceptor compartments, organelle distribution and the influence of light on the growth of the apical membrane.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Maternal immunization increases nestling energy expenditure, immune function, and fledging success in a passerine bird
    Gary Burness, Deanna Moher, Noah Ben-Ezra, Ryan J. Kelly, Dennis Hasselquist, Eunice H. Chin
    Biology Open 2018 7: bio028803 doi: 10.1242/bio.028803 Published 4 April 2018

    Summary: Exposure of female birds to a simulated pathogen prior to egg laying increases the metabolic rate, immune function, and fledging success of her nestlings.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Standard metabolic rate predicts growth trajectory of juvenile Chinese crucian carp (Carassius auratus) under changing food availability
    Ling-Qing Zeng, An-Jie Zhang, Shaun S. Killen, Zhen-Dong Cao, Yu-Xiang Wang, Shi-Jian Fu
    Biology Open 2017 6: 1305-1309; doi: 10.1242/bio.025452

    Summary: Our study documented how the relationship between variation in standard metabolic rate and growth is altered by the food availability in fish.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The geometric framework for nutrition reveals interactions between protein and carbohydrate during larval growth in honey bees
    Bryan R. Helm, Garett P. Slater, Arun Rajamohan, George D. Yocum, Kendra J. Greenlee, Julia H. Bowsher
    Biology Open 2017 6: 872-880; doi: 10.1242/bio.022582

    Summary: Protein to carbohydrate ratio affects the survival and growth rate of larval worker honey bees in vitro. Protein and carbohydrate content of food interact in complex ways to alter growth rate, development time and survival in worker bound honey bee larvae.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Chicken muscle mitochondrial content appears co-ordinately regulated and is associated with performance phenotypes
    Antonio Reverter, Ron Okimoto, Robyn Sapp, Walter G. Bottje, Rachel Hawken, Nicholas J. Hudson
    Biology Open 2017 6: 50-58; doi: 10.1242/bio.022772

    Summary: We have detected variation in muscle mitochondrial content across chickens. This variation relates to phenotypes and also indicates coordinate regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis across the musculature.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Modulation of digestive physiology and biochemistry in Mytilus californianus in response to feeding level acclimation and microhabitat
    Kwasi M. Connor, Aaron Sung, Nathan S. Garcia, Andrew Y. Gracey, Donovan P. German
    Biology Open 2016 5: 1200-1210; doi: 10.1242/bio.019430

    Summary: We show for the first time that the mussel Mytilus californianus has a flexible digestive strategy to deal with varying environmental conditions that are based upon their position on the shore.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    MicroRNA miR-308 regulates dMyc through a negative feedback loop in Drosophila
    Kaveh Daneshvar, Sritama Nath, Abid Khan, Wesley Shover, Christine Richardson, Julie M. Goodliffe
    Biology Open 2013 2: 1-9; doi: 10.1242/bio.20122725
  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The intracellular portion of GITR enhances NGF-promoted neurite growth through an inverse modulation of Erk and NF-κB signalling
    Laura McKelvey, Humberto Gutierrez, Giuseppe Nocentini, Sean J. Crampton, Alun M. Davies, Carlo R. Riccardi, Gerard W. O’keeffe
    Biology Open 2012 1: 1016-1023; doi: 10.1242/bio.20121024
