Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 532, Issue 12, December 2024.Deletion mutant of Irx3/5 shows the cochlear base fused with the saccule, whereas in wild‐type mice, the saccule is separated from the base by the ductus reuniens. Irx3 and Irx5 are potential evolutionary branch‐point genes necessary for balance‐sound segregation.

Cyclic nucleotide in oocyte In vitro maturation in Assisted Reproductive Technology
Journal of Biomedicine and Translational Research, 2020 In vitro maturation (IVM) is a promising assisted reproductive technology (ART) for human infertility treatment. However, when cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) are removed from their follicular environment when manipulated in vitro, it can lead to a ...

Unstable GRB photospheres and electron-positron annihilation lines
, 2007 We propose an emission mechanism of prompt gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) that can reproduce the observed non-thermal spectra with high radiative efficiencies, >50%. Internal dissipation below a photosphere can create a radiation-dominated thermal fireball.

Regulation and Function of C-Type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP) in Gonadotrope-Derived Cell Lines
Cells, 2019 C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is the most conserved member of the mammalian natriuretic peptide family, and is implicated in the endocrine regulation of growth, metabolism and reproduction.

Dorsal root ganglion axon bifurcation tolerates increased cyclic GMP levels: the role of phosphodiesterase 2A and scavenger receptor Npr3 [PDF]
, 2016 A cyclic GMP (cGMP) signaling pathway, comprising C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), its guanylate cyclase receptor Npr2, and cGMP-dependent protein kinase I, is critical for the bifurcation of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and cranial sensory ganglion axons

Familial idiopathic short stature and beyond: a case-report of a novel heterozygous NPR2 mutation.
Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti - Classe di Scienze Medico-BiologicheBackground: NPR2 gene encodes for B-type natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR-B), a positive regulator of the growth plate. Recently, heterozygous NPR2 mutations were reported in 2–6% cases of idiopathic short stature (ISS) and 13.6% of familial ISS ...

Applications of thermal energy storage in the cement industry [PDF]
In the manufacture of cement, literally trillions of Btu's are rejected to the environment each year. The purpose of this feasibility study program was to determine whether thermal energy storage could be used to conserve or allow alternative uses of ...
