Genetic rescue can increase the fitness of small, imperiled populations via immigration. A
suite of studies from the past decade highlights the value of genetic rescue in increasing …

The unprecedented rate of extinction calls for efficient use of genetics to help conserve
biodiversity. Several recent genomic and simulation-based studies have argued that the field of …

Background Determining the potential for malignant transformation of oral lichen planus (OLP)
is complicated by difficulties in diagnosis, differentiation from oral lichenoid lesions (OLLs…

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by
persistent difficulties in social communication and social interaction, coupled with restricted, …

OBJECTIVES: Periodontal disease has long been linked to many systemic diseases, and
recently a link between periodontal disease and cancer has been established. The purpose of …

Restoring gene flow into small, isolated populations can alleviate genetic load and decrease
extinction risk (ie, genetic rescue), yet gene flow is rarely augmented as a conservation …

Ulcerated lesions of the oral cavity have many underlying etiologic factors, most commonly
infection, immune related, traumatic, or neoplastic. A detailed patient history is critical in …

The evolutionary mechanisms generating the tremendous biodiversity of islands have long
fascinated evolutionary biologists. Genetic drift and divergent selection are predicted to be …

Climatic oscillations throughout the Pleistocene combined with geological and topographic
complexity resulted in extreme habitat heterogeneity along the Atlantic coast of Brazil. …

Our understanding of fragile X syndrome (FXS) pathophysiology continues to improve and
numerous potential drug targets have been identified. Yet, current prescribing practices are …
