A NEW SAUROPODOMORPH DINOSAUR FROM THE EARLY JURASSIC OF PATAGONIA AND THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF THE SAUROPOD-TYPE SACRUM.

A new sauropodomorph dinosaur from the Early Jurassic of Patagonia and the origin and evolution of the sauropod-type sacrum.

The origin of sauropod dinosaurs is one of the major landmarks of dinosaur evolution but is still poorly understood.This drastic transformation involved major skeletal modifications, including a shift from the small and gracile condition of primitive sauropodomorphs to the gigantic and quadrupedal condition of sauropods.Recent findings in the Late

The Evolutionary Conserved Transmembrane BAX Inhibitor Motif (TMBIM) Containing Protein Family Members 5 and 6 Are Essential for the Development and Survival of Drosophila melanogaster

The mammalian Transmembrane BAX Inhibitor Motif (TMBIM) protein family consists of six evolutionarily conserved hydrophobic proteins that affect programmed cell death and Bar Height (28"-30") the regulation of intracellular calcium levels.The bacterial ortholog BsYetJ is a pH-dependent calcium channel.We here identified seven TMBIM family members i
