MITOCHONDRIAL DNA COPY NUMBER IS ASSOCIATED WITH INCIDENT CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE AND PROTEINURIA IN THE AIDS LINKED TO THE INTRAVENOUS EXPERIENCE COHORT

Mitochondrial DNA copy number is associated with incident chronic kidney disease and proteinuria in the AIDS linked to the intravenous experience cohort

Abstract We evaluated the prospective association of mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA CN) with markers of kidney function among a cohort of persons who inject drugs (PWID).This is a Prospective cohort study nested in the AIDS linked to the intravenous experience cohort (community-based cohort of PWID in Baltimore, MD).mtDNA CN was measured at t

Scaling of olfactory antennae of the terrestrial hermit crabs Coenobita rugosus and Coenobita perlatus during ontogeny

Although many lineages of terrestrial crustaceans have poor olfactory capabilities, crabs in the family Coenobitidae, including the terrestrial hermit crabs in the genus Coenobita, are able to locate food and water using olfactory antennae (antennules) to capture odors from the surrounding air.Terrestrial hermit crabs begin their lives as small mar
