Coordinated spatial and temporal expression of Hox genes during embryogenesis in the acoel Convolutriloba longifissura

BMC Biology, 2009
Background Hox genes are critical for patterning the bilaterian anterior-posterior axis. The evolution of their clustered genomic arrangement and ancestral function has been debated since their discovery. As acoels appear to represent the sister group to

Arboreal signals in the skeletal proportions of the Gorilla foot

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Differences in arboreal behavior among gorilla populations are correlated with the relative lengths of their pedal digital elements. Bwindi gorillas have third and fourth metatarsals relatively shorter than those of more arboreal western lowland gorillas and longer than those of more terrestrial Virunga gorillas, while hallux and proximal phalangeal ...

Epigenomic Cascades Across Organs in Metabolic Dysfunction–Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: New Therapeutic Horizons

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disorder worldwide, affecting approximately one‐third of the population and increasing the risk of severe hepatic and cardiovascular complications.

Prediction of microRNA Genes near the HOX Gene family

, 2009
[[abstract]]The Hox gene (homeobox) is known to be related to the human embryo development. In the past few years, research reports suggested that overexpression of multiple HOX genes could cause cancer.

The human HOX gene family

Nucleic Acids Research, 1989
We report the identification of 10 new human homeobox sequences. Altogether, we have isolated and sequenced 30 human homeoboxes clustered in 4 chromosomal regions called HOX loci. HOX1 includes 8 homeoboxes in 90 kb of DNA on chromosome 7. HOX2 includes 9 homeoboxes in 180 kb on chromosome 17. HOX3 contains at least 7 homeoboxes in 160 kb on chromosome

Biological Biomarkers in Proliferative Verrucous Leukoplakia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To synthesise biological biomarker evidence in proliferative verrucous leukoplakia/proliferative leukoplakia and quantify malignant transformation using eligible longitudinal evidence. Methods Primary human biomarker studies and longitudinal studies reporting extractable malignant‐transformation events and denominators were ...

Hox genes and embryonic development

Poultry Science, 1997
The hox genes specify regional differences along the anterior-posterior (A/P) axis of the vertebrate embryo. This function appears to reflect an ancestral role of the hox gene complex and is conserved across phyla. During the evolution of vertebrates, this gene complex has been recruited to perform other functions as well, many of which occur later in ...

Reviewing the benefits and clinical outcomes of oral fibroblasts over mesenchymal stem cells for repairing periodontal defects during or after orthodontic tooth movement

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Orthodontic therapy applies forces to teeth, causing an inflammatory reaction in the periodontal ligament. This is repaired by remodeling of the periodontium, allowing tooth displacement. Although orthodontic therapy is mostly initiated during childhood and adolescence, the number of adults seeking this treatment is increasing as our society's

A non-tree-based comprehensive study of metazoan Hox and ParaHox genes prompts new insights into their origin and evolution

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background Hox and the closely-related ParaHox genes, which emerged prior to the divergence between cnidarians and bilaterians, are the most well-known members of the ancient genetic toolkit that controls embryonic development across all metazoans ...
