Induction of sucrose synthase in the phloem of phytoplasma infected maize
In this study, we have analyzed the expression of the low oxygen inducible sucrose synthase isozyme SH1 (SUS-SH1) in the phloem of maize (Zea mays L.) infected with maize bushy stunt phytoplasma.

Background Hepatic lipidosis is increasing in incidence in the Western world, with cats being particularly sensitive. When cats stop eating and start utilizing their fat reserves, free fatty acids (FFAs) increase in blood, causing an accumulation of ...

Quantification of plasmodesmatal endoplasmic reticulum coupling between sieve elements and companion cells using fluorescence redistribution after photobleaching [PDF]
Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) was studied to localize the activity of phloem loading during development and to establish whether the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of the companion cell (CC) and the sieve element (SE) reticulum is continuous by ...

[[abstract]]Background Constitutive activation of PI3K signaling has been well recognized in a subset of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), the cancer type which has the most aggressive clinical course amongst pulmonary tumors. Whereas cancers that acquire a

Vascular Gene Expression: A Hypothesis
The phloem is the conduit through which photoassimilates are distributed from autotrophic to heterotrophic tissues and is involved in the distribution of signaling molecules that coordinate plant growth and responses to the environment.

Sieve Elements and Companion Cells—Traffic Control Centers of the Phloem [PDF]
Of all the intricate cell–cell interactions in nature, those between the sieve element (SE) and its companion cell (CC) rank among the most complex and mysterious. Mature SEs are enucleate and retain only a highly degenerate cytoplasm, yet they can remain viable and functional for decades ([

Phloem development in nematode-induced feeding sites: The implications of auxin and cytokinin
Sedentary plant parasitic nematodes such as root-knot nematodes and cyst nematodes induce giant cells or syncytia, respectively, in their host plant’s roots.

Challenges of stem cell therapies in companion animal practice
Regenerative medicine using stem cells from various sources are emerging treatment modality in several refractory diseases in veterinary medicine. It is well-known that stem cells can differentiate into specific cell types, self-renew, and regenerate. In addition, the unique immunomodulatory effects of stem cells have made stem cell transplantation a ...

Gene Expression Profiling of Early Intervertebral Disk Degeneration
Introduction Early degeneration of the IVD involves a change in the nucleus pulposus (NP) cell population, characterized by the replacement/differentiation of the native notochordal cells (NCs) by/into chondrocyte-like cells (CLCs).
