They are the most diverse but least studied and most underrepresented group of bivalves in biodiversity surveys and museum collec...

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) maintain lifelong hematopoiesis. However, in current clonal analyses with unbiased "barcoding" approaches, steady-state hematopoietic clones in young and middle-aged adults rarely have detectable HSCs, which precludes comprehensive interrogation of HSC clonal behaviors. In the current study, we used the previously des...

In this article, the author attempts to discover the reasons why in 1848, at the peak of the Springtime of the Peoples, the romantic writer Zygmunt Krasiński repeatedly called a Polish friar Aleksander Jełowicki a “squirt” in the moral, political and every other sense. Krasiński did so in his letters to Delfina Potocka, his lover and Jełowicki’s go...

Photography is often called the art of painting with light. Among the most powerful tools in this visual language is the interplay of light and shadow, a technique that adds depth, drama, and emotion to an image. Known as chiaroscuro-from the Italian words chiaro (light) and scuro (dark)-this approach was first perfected by Renaissance painters to...
