MPF Regulates Oocyte and Embryo Development During Parthenogenesis Induction in Silkworm, Bombyx mori [PDF]
In most species, oocytes are arrested at the prophase or metaphase of meiosis I and require sperm-derived or external stimuli to resume meiosis. Maturation-promoting factor (MPF) is an oocyte maturation factor composing the catalytic subunit Cdc2 and the

Unraveling the impact of blood RANKL and OPG levels on Alzheimer's disease: Independent of bone mineral density and inflammation [PDF]
INTRODUCTION Observational studies have revealed a close relationship between reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. The receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa‐B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) system, pivotal ...

The dawn of active genetics [PDF]
On December 18, 2014, a yellow female fly quietly emerged from her pupal case. What made her unique was that she had only one parent carrying a mutant allele of this classic recessive locus. Then, one generation later, after mating with a wild‐type male, all her offspring displayed the same recessive yellow phenotype.

Targeted mutagenesis in the malaria mosquito using TALE nucleases. [PDF]
Anopheles gambiae, the main mosquito vector of human malaria, is a challenging organism to manipulate genetically. As a consequence, reverse genetics studies in this disease vector have been largely limited to RNA interference experiments.

Genetic Constructs for the Control of Astrocytes’ Activity [PDF]
In the current review, we aim to discuss the principles and the perspectives of using the genetic constructs based on AAV vectors to regulate astrocytes’ activity. Practical applications of optogenetic approaches utilizing different genetically encoded opsins to control astroglia activity were evaluated.

Recent advances in genetically modified large-animal models of human diseases
Large-animal models show greater advantages than rodents in recapitulating human genetic diseases, primarily because of their higher similarity to humans in terms of anatomy, physiology and genetics.
