This study aimed to describe the essential steps and control procedures for establishing a high‐quality, standardized methodological framework for long‐term monitoring of the French wolf population. We described a panel of 22 microsatellite loci, together with a sex marker, and estimates of key quality indicators for evaluating the framework.

Amelogenin in Enamel Tissue Engineering [PDF]
In this chapter the basic premises, the recent findings and the future challenges in the use of amelogenin for enamel tissue engineering are being discoursed on. Results emerging from the experiments performed to assess the fundamental physicochemical mechanisms of the interaction of amelogenin, the main protein of the enamel matrix, and the growing ...

Sustained cancer‐relevant alternative RNA splicing events driven by PRMT5 in high‐risk neuroblastoma
High expression of MYCN, PRMT5 and E2F1 in neuroblastoma cells derived from high‐risk disease causes a deregulated alternative RNA splicing programme and resistance to cell death. The pharmacological inhibition of PRMT5, or E2F1 inactivation, restores normal splicing, rendering neuroblastoma cells sensitive to apoptosis. Our findings therefore identify

A survey on the genetic status of the North China leopard population in fragile habitats, the results of which indicate that the North China leopard population in the eastern Loess Plateau is undergoing a process of genetic decline. ABSTRACT The North China leopard population in the eastern Loess Plateau, China, is highly fragmented and faces an ...

ABSTRACT Sexual dimorphism is one of the main factors confounding attempts to generate sound alpha taxonomic hypotheses in the early hominin fossil record. To better understand how between‐sex variation may confound alpha taxonomic assessments, we consider some of the factors that drive hard‐tissue sexual dimorphism in extant primates.

Evaluating the winter diet of elk using DNA metabarcoding analysis
North American elk Cervus canadensis inhabited portions of the eastern United States until extirpation in the mid‐1800s. From 2000 to 2008, 201 elk were reintroduced to the North Cumberland Wildlife Management Area (NCWMA), Tennessee. The stocking source was Elk Island National Park, Alberta Canada where there are two distinct genetic populations ...

Identification of Trombospondin-1 as a Novel Amelogenin Interactor by Functional Proteomics
Amelogenins are a set of low molecular-weight enamel proteins belonging to a group of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins with a key role in tooth enamel development and in other regeneration processes, such as wound healing and angiogenesis.

Determination of sexual dimorphism through molecular methods: a scoping review
Background Sexual dimorphism is crucial in forensic investigations. Molecular methods involving amelogenin, a protein in tooth enamel, are used to determine sexual dimorphism by extracting DNA from teeth, amplifying the gene coding for amelogenin through

Effect of Recombinant Human Amelogenin on the Osteogenic Differentiation Potential of SHED
This study aimed to explore how amelogenin can improve stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED)–based bone regeneration and promote tissue healing as a treatment for critical-sized bone defects.
