About the Cover

CELEBRITY OF THE MONTH
William Bateson
156th Birthday, (8 August 1861 – 8 February 1926)
Discoverer of the term "genetics"
English geneticist

William Bateson was born in Whitby, England on 8 August 1861 to parents Anna Aiken Bateson and William Henry Bateson. He was an English biologist mainly concerned with evolutionary questions. He founded and named the science of genetics and his experiments provided evidence basic to the modern understanding of heredity. He cited embryo studies to support his contention in 1885 that, chordates evolved from primitive echinoderms, a view now widely accepted. In 1894 he published his conclusion (Materials for the Study of Variation) that evolution could not occur through a continuous variation of species, since distinct features often appeared or disappeared suddenly in plants and animals. He studied organismal variation and heredity of traits within the framework of evolutionary theory in England.

ANALYSIS

Comparison of the acute chromic capacities of erythropoietin and U-74389G concerning mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration levels

Τsompos C, Panoulis C, Τοutouzas K, Triantafyllou A, Ζografos G, Papalois A

This study compared the chromic capacities of erythropoietin (Epo) and antioxidant drug U-74389G based on 2 preliminary studies. The provided results at mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) levels alterations were co-evaluated in a hypoxia reoxygenation protocol of an animal model.
