The new peptide hormone insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) is a member of the insulin-relaxin family, yet, unlike insulin, it signals through a new G-protein coupled receptor, LGR8, distantly related to the receptors for LH and FSH. INSL3 is produced in... Read More about Expression of the insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) hormone-receptor (LGR8) system in the testis.

The B-coder: an improved binary arithmetic coder and probability estimator (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Kelly, B. G., & Brailsford, D. F. (2006). The B-coder: an improved binary arithmetic coder and probability estimator.
