Evidence for dynamic and multiple roles for huntingtin in Ciona intestinalis [PDF]
, 2013 Although mutations in the huntingtin gene (HTT) due to poly-Q expansion cause neuropathology in humans (Huntington's disease; HD), the normal function(s) of the gene and its protein (HTT) remain obscure.

TDP-43 loss-of-function causes neuronal loss due to defective steroid receptor-mediated gene program switching in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2013 TDP-43 proteinopathy is strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and related neurodegenerative disorders. Whether TDP-43 neurotoxicity is caused by a novel toxic gain-of-function mechanism of the aggregates or by a loss of

Potential of Oscheius tipulae nematodes as biological control agents against Ceratitis capitata
PLoS ONE, 2022 A survey to collect soil nematodes with potential to control Ceratitis capitata flies was carried out in different locations in Tunisia. Several nematode isolates were recovered, laboratory colonies were established, and their taxonomic identities were ...

Growth and the expression of alternative life cycles in the salamander \u3ci\u3eAmbystoma talpoideum\u3c/i\u3e (Caudata: Ambystomatidae) [PDF]
, 2003 Complex life cycles (CLCs) contain larval and adult phases that are morphologically and ecologically distinct. Simple life cycles (SLCs) have evolved from CLCs repeatedly in a wide variety of lineages but the processes that may underlie the transition ...
