Studies of hominid fossils have frequently reported that one of their outstanding characteristics is their heavily worn teeth. Many skeletal remains of modern man also show this condition of dental ...attrition, which is probably related to certain cultural activities. The varieties of foods consumed by primitive man and the specialized tool functions of the teeth have left significant marks in the form of worn occlusal surfaces over the dental arches. This paper discusses some of the functions of the teeth indicated by these marks and suggests that tooth wear should be studied carefully in order to gain significant information about the activities of past populations.

Résumé L'auteur considère d'avance les rapports entre la recherche constitutionnelle et celle génétique ainsi que leur importance actuelle et leur développement futur. Ensuite il rappelle les ...diagnostics des mosaïques individuelles selon les diverses catégories anthropométrographiques, les limites entre normalité, anomalie et pathologie ; enfin, en ce référant à la riche littérature sur l'argument, l'auteur rapporte des considérations d'ordre critique et comparatif.
Summary The author first consider the reports between constitutional and genetics researchs, their actual importance and future growth. After recalls the diagnosis of individual mosaics in the basis of anthropometrographic categories, the limits among normality, abnormality and pathology. Then, referring to the rich literature on this argument, the author relate some critical and comparative considerations.

New technologies are emerging that utilize artificial microRNA (miRNA) target sites to exploit or inhibit endogenous miRNA regulation. This approach has been used to improve cell-specific targeting ...for gene and stem cell therapy studies and for animal transgenics, and also to reduce the toxicity of oncolytic viruses and to attenuate viral vaccines. Artificial targets have also been used to sponge or decoy miRNAs as a way to study their functions. This article considers the benefits of this approach and design considerations for future studies.
