Biosynthesis and enzymology of the Caenorhabditis elegans cuticle: identification and characterization of a novel serine protease inhibitor. [PDF]
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans represents an excellent model in which to examine nematode gene expression and function. A completed genome, straightforward transgenesis, available mutants and practical genome-wide RNAi approaches provide an ...

Abstract graph of the in vivo immunomodulatory activity of polysaccharide based on a cyclophosphamide‐induced mouse model. ABSTRACT The immune system serves as the primary defense mechanism against pathogens and plays a vital role in maintaining host homeostasis. In recent years, natural polysaccharides have emerged as promising immunomodulators due to

Intradermal infections by chigger mites (Hannemania spp.) in the Andean frog Telmatobius atacamensis (Anura, Telmatobiidae) [PDF]
Here, we report the infection of adults of the Andean frog Telmatobius atacamensis (Anura, Telmatobiidae) by leeuwenhoekiid mites of the genus Hannemania and describe the histological characteristics of the normal and infected skin and the mite's larval ...

ParaHox Genes Revisited: From Gut Patterning to Integrated Axial and Neural Organization in Rotifera
In rotifers, ParaHox genes show a dispersed genomic organization, with Xlox absent across gnathiferans. Exclusive neuronal expression of Gsx and Cdx reveals that ancestral ParaHox genes coordinated neural and epithelial development beyond gut patterning, suggesting an integrated role in early bilaterian body plan organization.

Comprehensive analysis of gene expression patterns of -related genes [PDF]
Background The Caenorhabditis elegans genome encodes ten proteins that share sequence similarity with the Hedgehog signaling molecule through their C-terminal autoprocessing Hint/Hog domain. These proteins contain novel N-terminal domains, and C. elegans

Abstract Background Bacterial wilt of enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) is a severe disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, resulting in complete crop failure and considerable damage. This study assessed the biochemical responses of two enset clones (one resistant and one susceptible) when inoculated with the pathogen and ...

The macrofossil record of Proteaceae in Tasmania: a review with new species [PDF]
About ten taxa of Proteaceae are known from the Early Eocene in Tasmania, one from a Late Eocene site, 22 from four Early Oligocene sites, one from a Late Oligocene/Early Miocene site, 12 or 13 from two Early Pleistocene sites, and five or six from the ...

The mechanism by which epithelial cells rearrange is a process that is central to epithelial morphogenesis, yet remains poorly understood. We have investigated epithelial cell rearrangement in the dorsal hypodermis of the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo, in which two rows of epithelial cells rearrange in a morphogenetic process known as dorsal ...

Polymerized Pro‐Estrogen Microneedles via Two Photon Polymerization
Acrylic pro‐drugs of 17β‐estradiol were subjected to spatially controlled two‐photon polymerization to create bespoke microneedle geometries with potential biomedical applications for long‐term transdermal hormone delivery. ABSTRACT Two‐photon polymerization (TPP) is a powerful technique to create microscale structures with high precision, offering ...

Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases (immunophilins) and their roles in parasite biochemistry, host-parasite interaction and antiparasitic drug action. [PDF]
Immunophilin is the collective name given to the cyclophilin and FK506-binding protein (FKBP) families. As the name suggests, these include the major binding proteins of certain immunosuppressive drugs: cyclophilins for the cyclic peptide cyclosporin A ...
