#tegument

as it can be seen, the organ of his crime, the hand, is not mentioned here. the matter presents itself this way because he does not exist in his body as a whole, but only in one point of it which changes cyclically, and which can become anything. as a rule, however, he does not direct himself into the hand, especially when he cuts meat, so that it operates strictly on instinct and does not know the concept of a trained blow. but mine does.

we wrote a simple tutorial on how to gut a fish for one of our ongoing projects ^__^ it's effective and full of helpful tips!

 Viral protein transforms as it measures out DNA

To generate swarms of new viral particles, a virus hijacks a cell into producing masses of self-assembling cages that are then loaded with the genetic blueprint for the next infection. But the picture of how that DNA is loaded into those viral cages, or capsids, was blurry, especially for two of the most common types of DNA virus on earth, bacterial viruses and human herpesvirus. Jefferson researchers pieced together the three-dimensional atomic structure of a doughnut-shaped protein that acts like a door or 'portal' for the DNA to get in and out of the capsid, and have now discovered that this protein begins to transform its structure when it comes into contact with DNA. Their work published today in Nature Communications.

"Researchers thought that the portal protein acts as an inert passageway for DNA," says senior author Gino Cingolani, Ph.D., a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Thomas Jefferson University and researcher at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center. "We have shown that the portal is much more like a sensor that essentially helps measure out an appropriate length of DNA for each capsid particle, ensuring faithful production of new viral particles.

Deadly flatworm's skin rejuvenation may explain its long-term survival in humans

A parasitic flatworm that infects hundreds of millions of people in the developing world is able to survive in the bloodstream for decades by constantly renewing its skin -- a mechanism that could inform potential new treatments against infection.

Much like its free-living relatives, the flatworm Schistosoma mansoni has a population of stem cells known as neoblasts that are capable of self-renewal, but the function of these cells was previously unknown.

Now, in a study to be published in the journal eLife, researchers have found that the neoblasts are destined to become cells that generate and regenerate the worm's outer layer of skin, a unique tissue called the tegument.

"The tegument serves as a barrier between S. mansoni and the bloodstream of its host, which would otherwise be an inhospitable environment for the parasite," says first author James Collins, Assistant Professor of Pharmacology at the UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Chiasma: From anatomy, the intercrossing or decussation of the fibers of the optic nerves at the base of the brain; commonly as any crossing of tensile members

Anamorphosis: A distorted projection or drawing of anything, so made that when viewed from a particular point, or by reflection from a suitable mirror, it appears regular and properly proportioned; a deformation.

Punctiform: From botany or medicine, having the form of or resembling a point, puncture, or dot; minute and circular

Elision: The action of dropping out or suppressing either a letter or syllable in pronunciation or a passage in a book or connecting links in discourse

Tegument: Something that serves to cover; a covering, coating, envelope, investment, integument

Adumbration: Shading in painting; or representation in outline, sketching; and concretely an outline, a sketch; a shadowy figure; a faint or slight sketch or description

Rhodopsin: A purplish-red pigment found in the rod cells of the retina in humans and most other vertebrates, consisting of a protein (opsin) combined with retinal

Oblavity: The action of offering or presenting a gift, especially as a token of respect or honor; often with a religious connotation, the presentation of money, goods, property, etc., to the Church for use in religious service

Nuomenon: A posited object or event that is known (if at all) without the use of the senses. The term is generally used in contrast with, or in relation to "phenomenon", which refers to anything that appears to, or is an object of, the senses

Locus: Generally, the place in which something is situated, a locality; from mathematics, the curve or other figure constituted by all the points which satisfy a particular equation of relation between coordinates, or generated by a point, line, or surface moving in accordance with any mathematically defined conditions
