Sex determination using cheiloscopy and mandibular canine index as a tool in forensic dentistry

Journal of Forensic Science and Medicine, 2018
Identification of a person′s individuality and sex determination are important for legal as well as identification purposes. The aim of the present study was to check the reliability of cheiloscopy and mandibular canine index (MCI) in the determination ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Identification of sex-linked markers and genes in Portuguese oyster (Magallana angulata)

Frontiers in Marine Science
The Portuguese oyster (Magallana angulata) is a valuable aquaculture species with sexual dimorphism in growth and nutritional traits, making it a promising candidate for sex-controlled breeding.

Sex Determination from Talus among Gujarati Population of Anand Region by Discriminant Function Analysis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018
Introduction: The three most vital determinations that must be made when dealing with skeletal remains are sex, age and race. Many skeletal features vary by gender, thus determination of sex is prerequisite for the identification of an individual.

Genetic and developmental analysis of the sex-determining gene ‘double sex’ (dsx) ofDrosophila melanogaster [PDF]

Genetical Research, 1987
SummarySex determination inDrosophiladepends on the ratio ofXchromosomes to sets of autosomes (X:A). This chromosomal signal is used to regulate a few control genes whose state of activity selects either the male or the female sexual pathway. We have studied the structure and function ofdsx(double sex) which appears to be the last regulatory gene on ...

Conserved structural motifs in PAS, LOV, and CRY proteins regulate circadian rhythms and are therapeutic targets

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cryptochrome and PAS/LOV proteins play intricate roles in circadian clocks where they act as both sensors and mediators of protein–protein interactions. Their ubiquitous presence in signaling networks has positioned them as targets for small‐molecule therapeutics. This review provides a structural introduction to these protein families.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Sex determination by discriminant analysis of clavicular measurements.

, 1994
Measurements of six clavicular parameters (body length, circumference, breadth of proximal end, breadth of distal end, robustness, product index), obtained from a known contemporary Apulian skeletal population were taken to study sex determination by discriminant analysis. In the multivariate discriminant analysis ten functions show a percentage of sex

Cytoplasmic p21 promotes stemness of colon cancer cells via activation of the NFκB pathway

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cytoplasmic p21 promotes colorectal cancer stem cell (CSC) features by destabilizing the NFκB–IκB complex, activating NFκB signaling, and upregulating BCL‐xL and COX2. In contrast to nuclear p21, cytoplasmic p21 enhances spheroid formation and stemness transcription factor CD133.

Detection of circulating tumor DNA in colorectal cancer patients using a methylation‐specific droplet digital PCR multiplex

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We developed a cost‐effective methylation‐specific droplet digital PCR multiplex assay containing tissue‐conserved and tumor‐specific methylation markers. The assay can detect circulating tumor DNA with high accuracy in patients with localized and metastatic colorectal cancer.
