Hyaluronan and Hyaluronidase, which is better for embryo development? [PDF]
Our aim was to examine size-specific effects of Hyaluronan (HA) on preimplantation embryo development. We investigated the effects of Hyalovet (HA, 500–750 kDa; the size produced by HA synthase-3, which is abundant in the oviduct), or HA treated with ...

Pax6 interactions with chromatin and identification of its novel direct target genes in lens and forebrain. [PDF]
Pax6 encodes a specific DNA-binding transcription factor that regulates the development of multiple organs, including the eye, brain and pancreas. Previous studies have shown that Pax6 regulates the entire process of ocular lens development.
