As of 2011 more than 36 genes have been found that contribute to the risk of type 2 diabetes. [2] All of these genes together still only account for 10% of the total genetic component of the disease. [2] There are a number of rare cases of diabetes that arise due to an abnormality in a single gene (known as monogenic forms of diabetes). [1]
Neoteny and reduction in skull size – grey wolf and chihuahua skulls. When the role of dogs expanded from just being working dogs to also being companions, humans started selective breeding dogs for morphological neoteny, and this selective breeding for "neoteny or paedomorphism" "strengthened the human-canine bond."
Neoteny of the human body is indicated by glabrousness (hairless body). [3] Neoteny of the genitals is marked by the absence of a baculum (penis bone); [1] the presence of a hymen; [1] and the forward-facing vagina. [1]
In the neoteny entry there are many references to a similar process, progenesis. A short description: - neoteny: the retaining of early characters (usually embryonic) in the adult. - progenesis: the earlier acquisition of sexual organs and gonads which can lead to sexually mature larval stages such as the ones mentioned in the neoteny entry.
XTRA's Packer was noticeably angry about the memo. "I am shocked that the (KSDO) program director would be so insecure about a challenge that he would stoop to racial slurs and slanderous remarks about Mark," he said.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D), formerly known as juvenile diabetes, is an autoimmune disease that occurs when pancreatic cells (beta cells) are destroyed by the body's immune system. [5] In healthy persons, beta cells produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone required by the body to store and convert blood sugar into energy. [6]
A new study offers an explanation as to how deep sleep — also known as slow wave sleep — helps support the formation of memories in the brain, which could help with preventing dementia.
