The role of Plasmodium falciparum var genes in malaria in pregnancy
No full textSequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes in the placenta is responsible for many of the harmful effects of malaria during pregnancy. Sequestration occurs as a result of parasite adhesion molecules expressed on the surface of infected erythrocytes binding to host receptors in the placenta such as chondroitin sulphate A (CSA). Identification of the parasite ligand(s) responsible for placental adhesion could lead to the development of a vaccine to induce antibodies to prevent placental sequestration. Such a vaccine would reduce the maternal anaemia and infant deaths that are associated with malaria in pregnancy. Current research indicates that the parasite ligands mediating placental adhesion may be members of the P. falciparum variant surface antigen family PfEMP1, encoded by var genes. Two relatively well-conserved subfamilies of var genes have been implicated in placental adhesion, however, their role remains controversial. This review examines the evidence for and against the involvement of var genes in placental adhesion, and considers whether the most appropriate vaccine candidates have yet been identified
What did Alfred Rowe find on the “Devilish Causeway” in Trzebawie?
No full textIn the southern part of the Woświn lake there is a vast peninsula called “the Devilish
Causeway” by local people. On the peninsula there is located an archaeological site
that was excavated by Alfred Rowe in 1934. During the research a stone construction
measuring 10 x 11 m was found. Function of this feature had aroused controversy but
in the end, W. Filipowiak’s hypothesis that these were the remains of a Slavic cult construction
was accepted in the literature.
Further analysis however of the archive materials has shown that the stone construction
found by A. Rowe is not a Slavic cult construction but an underpinning of a wooden
one- or more-storey building such as those built by medieval knighthood within
motte-and-bailey castles or so-called “manor houses on a mound”. It is likely that its
owner was a representative of the wealthy family von Wedel

Actinometra alternans Carpenter, 1881; Actinometra littoralis Carpenter, 1888; Clarkcomanthus albinotus Rowe, Hoggett, Birtles & Vail, 1986; Comanthus mirabilis Rowe, Hoggett, Birtles & Vail, 1986; Comanthus perplexum HL Clark, 1916; Comanthus (Vania) parvicirra ß comanthipinna Gislén, 1922; Oxycomanthus exilis Rowe, Hoggett, Birtles & Vail, 1986; Oxycomanthus mirus Rowe, Hoggett, Birtles & Vail, 1986. Diagnosis. Mouth excentric in fully developed individuals; up to 125 arms; centrodorsal circular to pentagonal; cirri in one row or absent (Figs. 12 E–F, 12J, 12L–M, 13C–H, 13K–M, 13Q, 13S); IBr2 united by synarthry; IIBr and subsequent brachitaxes 2 or 4(3+4); first syzygy at 3+4 on all undivided arms; distal intersyzygial interval 4; distalmost pinnule comb on P2, P3, or at intervals sometimes reaching near arm tip; comb terminating in large discrete tooth, or tapering either to a smaller terminal tooth or to a point; primary comb tooth confluent with exterior edge of pinnulars or nonconfluent; smaller secondary tooth present or not; transverse proximal tooth present or not (Fig. 13 I–J, N, R, T). Distribution. Tropical and warm temperate Indo-western Pacific from northern Australia (Lancelin, WA, to Byron Bay, NSW), east to Kwajalein (C. alternans identified as Comanthus briareus in Zmarzly 1985), Fiji and Tonga, and north to Sagami Bay, Japan. Except for western Australia and Indonesia, no reliable records are yet known from the Indian Ocean (AH Clark 1931; Kogo & Fujita 2014; Rowe et al. 1986; Rowe & Gates 1995; Zmarzly 1985). Depth range: 0–144 m; chiefly shallower than 50 m. Molecular results. Summers et al. (2014a) expanded Clarkcomanthus to contain eight clades as species-level taxa. All but one was assignable to an available species name (uncorrected distances of COI minimally>2.8% between each) (Fig. 14). In addition to the three species previously included in Clarkcomanthus, two each were formerly assigned to Comanthus (C. alternans, C. mirabilis) and Oxycomanthus (O. comanthipinnus, O. mirus). The unnamed clade included only one specimen identified in the field at Raja Ampat, Indonesia, as Oxycomanthus exilis. Those assignable to descriptions of Australian Clarkcomanthus exilis and Cl. comanthipinnus also formed a clade with intra specific divergence <0.3%, suggesting that Australian comanthipinnus and exilis are the same species. Although we did not sequence specimens from near the type locality of O. comanthipinnus (Bonin Islands, Japan), the identifications are unambiguous, and exilis appears to simply be smaller specimens of comanthipinnus. Multiple specimens assigned morphologically to Clarkcomanthus littoralis based on Rowe et al. (1986) nested within a clade of specimens identified as Cl. albinotus (intra specific divergence <2.3%). Remarks. The taxa included in Clarkcomanthus possess a wide variety of comb structures, e.g., teeth paired or not, confluent or not, tapering to a point or not, and with a transverse proximal tooth or not. Unlike Comanthus, however, Clarkcomanthus species share combs restricted to the most proximal few pairs of pinnules [although a few combs sometimes occur beyond mid-arm in Cl. alternans (Rowe et al. 1986)]. Also, although Cl. alternans and Cl. mirabilis have a transverse proximal comb tooth as in Comanthus species, the following teeth are well separated, unlike the triangular, basally abutting teeth in Comanthus species. Clarkcomanthus is most abundant along the reef crest and in shallow water. Members showcase incredible morphological variation, especially in color patterns, leading us to suggest that robust identifications should incorporate genetic information. Within Clarkcomanthus, cirri are uniformly absent in Cl. mirabilis and Cl. littoralis (see below), and are lost with development in Cl. alternans and, possibly, Cl. mirus (Rowe et al. 1986).Published as part of Summers, Mindi M., Messing, Charles G. & Rouse, Greg W., 2017, The genera and species of Comatulidae (Comatulida: Crinoidea): taxonomic revisions and a molecular and morphological guide, pp. 151-190 in Zootaxa 4268 (2) on pages 176-180, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4268.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/58017

Clarkcomanthus albinotus Rowe, Hoggett, Birtles & Vail 1986
No full textClarkcomanthus albinotus Rowe, Hoggett, Birtles & Vail, 1986 Fig. 13 A–J Comanthus parvicirra: HL Clark, 1932: 200 (part). Comanthus parvicirrus: AM Clark, 1975: 395 (part). Remarks. Molecular data returned six specimens diagnosed morphologically as Clarkcomanthus albinotus and 14 of Cl. littoralis as a single clade with <2.3% COI divergence (Fig. 14). The Cl. littoralis specimens ranged from 10- armed with 24 cirri to 38-armed with four cirri. The inclusion of the specimens previously identified as Cl. littoralis expands the number of cirri found in Cl. albinotus from 0–6 to 0–24 and includes specimens with pinnulars of approximately equal width and length. Clarkcomanthus albinotus was previously distinguished by having middle pinnulars of PII (P D in Rowe et al. 1986) longer than wide, and the following color patterns: khaki brown, mostly green, or paler or orange pinnule tips. The Cl. littoralis specimens recovered in this clade exhibit color patterns found among Rowe et al. ’s (1986) group 1 specimens: green to brown-green, often with yellow or brown markings, but also ranging from uniformly brown to yellow. The species is common on the reef flat and crest, where it often forms dense aggregations among living branching corals.Published as part of Summers, Mindi M., Messing, Charles G. & Rouse, Greg W., 2017, The genera and species of Comatulidae (Comatulida: Crinoidea): taxonomic revisions and a molecular and morphological guide, pp. 151-190 in Zootaxa 4268 (2) on page 180, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4268.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/58017

Perspektywy rozwoju biotechnologii w Polsce
No full textWażnym czynnikiem rozwoju biotechnologii w Polsce są nowoczesne badania naukowe. Artykuł Perspektywy rozwoju biotechnologii w Polsce zwraca uwagę na to, że wiedza z zakresu nauk biologicznych i medycznych przyczynia się do większej konkurencyjności zarówno ośrodków naukowych i badawczych, jak i przedsiębiorstw. Biotechnologiczne projekty naukowo–badawcze realizowane w Polsce nie tworzą jeszcze podstaw do wytwarzania produktów biotechnologicznych w takim zakresie, by polskie przedsiębiorstwa mogły konkurować na rynku międzynarodowych. Jedną z przyczyn, którą analizuje Autor w artykule, jest niewystarczające inwestowanie w rozwój nauki i wsparcie dla małych i średnich firm w sektorze biotechnologii. MSP są najważniejszym elementem rozwoju tego sektora, ponieważ koncentrują się na tworzeniu i rozwoju nowoczesnych produktów biotechnologicznych. Artykuł został podzielony na dwie części: Szanse rozwoju nowoczesnej gospodarki w Polsce bez biotechnologii oraz Edukacja i projekty B+R. Autor finalizuje rozważania, pokazując pozytywny scenariusz dla rozwoju sektora biotechnologicznego w Polsce.Biotechnology uses biological processes in the development of technology or manufacture of a product. It is forecasted that Polish biotechnology industry will exceed very quickly. The technology and science parks in Poland have invested millions Euros to build new laboratories. Polish market is fuelled by increased R&D funding, central and regional governments initiatives. The article on “Polish perspectives of biotechnology development” identifies significant factors for biotechnology project development. It also indicates the examples of government biotechnology initiatives in the world. The author focuses on the statistical analysis of the research and development projects conducted by Polish scientist in scientific laboratories. His main conclusion is that biotechnology will be very important in developing Poland, Polish universities, research and development organizations.Udostępnienie publikacji Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego finansowane w ramach projektu „Doskonałość naukowa kluczem do doskonałości kształcenia”.
