Ankylosauridae

The heavy armour, forming a veritable shell on the backs of ankylosaurids and their clubbed tails, makes them look superficially similar to the mammalian glyptodonts (and to a lesser degree to the giant meiolaniid turtles of Australia).

Astrocytic hypothesis

Convincing data, especially Jonas Frisen and Ellen Heber-Katz again demonstrated that the mammalian body part that is not updated during the life is only nervous tissue (brain)—specifically, the neurons that are its building blocks.

Brefeldin A

In mammalian and yeast cells, the main target of brefeldin A appears to be a Guanine nucleotide exchange factor called Sar1.

Chitinase

Although mammals do not produce chitin, they have two functional chitinases (Chitotriosidase - CHIT1 and acidic mammalian chitinase - AMCase) as well as chitinase-like proteins (such as YKL-40) that have high sequence similarity but lack chitinase activity.

Dullard protein

Dullarddephosphorylates the mammalian phospatidic acid phosphatase, lipid.

Endocytosis

The best-understood receptors that are found concentrated in coated vesicles of mammalian cells are the LDL receptor (which removes LDL from circulating blood), the transferrin receptor (which brings ferric ions bound by transferrin into the cell) and certain hormone receptors (such as that for EGF).

Ernest Beutler

A new colleague at the City of Hope and ultimately a lifelong friend, Susumu Ohno had recently demonstrated that the histologically observable Barr body present in the nuclei of mammalian female cells was a hyperchromatic X chromosome.

Haramiyida

Butler & Hooker, (2005) maintain that 'haramiyids' are still stronger candidates for having given rise to the multituberculates than morganucodontids are: "As long as we only have teeth to of the critical taxa, we feel it necessary to adopt the Allotheria concept as a working hypothesis; no doubt the discovery of mammalian skeletal material in the Jurassic will throw new light on the problem", (p. 206).

Hyaluronan synthase

There are three mammalian hyaluronan synthases described to date - HAS1, HAS2 and HAS3.

Jean-Pierre Lecocq

Under his leadership secretory and non-secretory expression systems for the production of recombinant proteins in E. coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Baculovirus and mammalian cells in cell culture were developed and recombinant virus technology was established.

Jukka Jernvall

His thesis investigating the evolution and development of mammalian molar cusp patterns was supervised by Irma Thesleff and Mikael Fortelius.

Kanamycin

Mammalian cells, yeast, and other eukaryotes acquire resistance to geneticin (= G418, an aminoglycoside antibiotic similar to kanamycin) when transformed with a kanMX marker.

Mechanosensitive ion channel

Recently, a new mechanosensitive ion channel family was cloned, with two mammalian members, PIEZO1 and PIEZO2.

Mikael Fortelius

His research involves the evolution of Eurasian land mammals and terrestrial environments during the Neogene, ecomorphology of ungulates, developmental biology, the function and evolution of mammalian teeth, and scaling problems (changes in size with growth or as species evolve).

MTORC2

It is composed of mTOR, rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR (RICTOR), GβL, and mammalian stress-activated protein kinase interacting protein 1 (mSIN1).

Natural genetic engineering

Shapiro drew from work as diverse as the adaptivity of the mammalian immune system, ciliate macronuclei and epigenetics.

NeuN

The mammalian genome contains three genes homologous to C. elegans Fox-1, called Fox-1, Fox-2 and Fox-3.

Oncolytic virus

In science fiction, the concept of an oncolytic virus was first introduced to the public in Jack Williamson's novel Dragon's Island, published in 1951, although Williamson's imaginary virus was based on a bacteriophage rather than a mammalian virus.

Paul Luzio

Luzio's research is largely concerned with intracellular membrane traffic pathways in mammalian cells and his research group is funded by a programme grant from the Medical Research Council and project grant support from the Wellcome Trust.

Reverse learning

Hobson and McCarley hypothesized that a brain stem neuronal mechanism sends pontine-geniculo-occipital (or PGO) waves that automatically activate the mammalian forebrain.

Santa Rosa local fauna

Another isolated tooth, LACM 149371, cannot be aligned securely with any mammalian group.

SIX3

Activity of the SIX3 gene represses Wnt1 gene activity which ensures development of the forebrain and establishes the proper anterior posterior identity in the mammalian brain.

Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic hedgehog, a biological term referring to one of three proteins in the mammalian signaling pathway family called hedgehog
