  Authors:Stephen M. Krone and Beth M. TuschhoffFrom:PeerJ (Vol. 10) Peer-Reviewed

  Feb. 15, 20226,418 words Article 1510LWe develop the mathematical structure of the neutral coalescent with both replication-dependent and replication-independent mutations. This allows us to explain and quantify empirical results that explore differences in...

• Exploring the mechanism of cordycepin combined with doxorubicin in treating glioblastoma based on network pharmacology and biological verification.

  Authors:Jing Chen, Yuan-Dong Zhuang, Qiang Zhang, Shuang Liu, Bing-Bo Zhuang, Chun-Hua Wang, et al.From:PeerJ (Vol. 10) Peer-Reviewed

  Feb. 15, 202210,037 words Article 1390LBackground Glioblastoma is the most common and fatal primary malignant tumor in the central nervous system, and the prognosis is poor. Currently, there are no effective treatments for glioblastoma. Cordycepin is a...

• Morphological characterization and sexual dimorphism of the antennal sensilla in Bactericera gobica Loginova (Hemiptera: Psyllidae)-a scanning and transmission electron microscopic study.

  Authors:Yang Ge, Olivia M. Smith, Weilin Chen, Pingping Liu, Qingjun Yuan, Chuanzhi Kang, et al.From:PeerJ (Vol. 10) Peer-Reviewed

  Feb. 15, 20228,419 words Article 1320LBactericera gobica is the major pest of Goji berry plants and causes severe damage. Psyllids mainly use the antennal sensilla to recognize olfactory cues necessary to find host plants and mates. However, the structure...

  Authors:Lindsay Isernia, Clive D.L. Wynne, Leanna House, and Erica N. FeuerbacherFrom:PeerJ (Vol. 10) Peer-Reviewed

  Feb. 15, 20229,054 words Article 1430LDogs and wolves both show attachment-like behaviors to their owners/caregivers, including exploring more in the presence of the owner/caregiver, and greeting the owner/caregiver more effusively after an absence....

• Validity and inter-rater reliability of ankle motion observed during a single leg squat.

  Authors:Paloma Guillén-Rogel, Cristina San Emeterio, and Pedro J. MarínFrom:PeerJ (Vol. 10) Peer-Reviewed

  Feb. 15, 20225,211 words Article 1330LBackground The single leg squat (SLS) test is a clinical functional test commonly used to evaluate clinically aberrant movement patterns of the knee. The SLS could be an interesting option to analyze ankle control in...
