THE OSTEODERM MICROSTRUCTURE IN DOSWELLIIDS AND PROTEROCHAMPSIDS AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR PALAEOBIOLOGY OF STEM ARCHOSAURS

The osteoderm microstructure in doswelliids and proterochampsids and its implications for palaeobiology of stem archosaurs

Osteoderms are common in most Wash Basin archosauriform lineages, including basal forms, such as doswelliids and proterochampsids.In this survey, osteoderms of the doswelliids Doswellia kaltenbachi and Vancleavea campi, and proterochampsid Chanaresuchus bonapartei are examined to infer their palaeobiology, such as histogenesis, age estimation at de

Missing in Action: Missiles Control in the Middle East

Advanced ballistic and cruise missiles have become a salient feature of the Middle Eastern security landscape.More states are either developing indigenous production capabilities or importing these missiles than ever before and their use has also become a frequent occurrence in regional conflicts.Despite that the issue remains one of the least exam

Ubiquitin specific peptidases and prostate cancer

Protein ubiquitination is an important post-translational modification mechanism, which regulates protein stability and activity.The ubiquitination of proteins can be reversed by deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs).Ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs), the largest DUB subfamily, can regulate cellular functions by removing ubiquitin(s) from the target pr
