Alcohol exposure induces chick craniofacial bone defects by negatively affecting cranial neural crest development [PDF]
Excess alcohol consumption during pregnancy could lead to fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). However, the molecular mechanism leading to craniofacial abnormality, a feature of FAS, is still poorly understood.

Abnormal mandibular growth and the condylar cartilage [PDF]
Deviations in the growth of the mandibular condyle can affect both the functional occlusion and the aesthetic appearance of the face. The reasons for these growth deviations are numerous and often entail complex sequences of malfunction at the cellular ...

Investigating DNA-, RNA-, and protein-based features as a means to discriminate pathogenic synonymous variants [PDF]
Synonymous single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), although they do not alter the encoded protein sequences, have been implicated in many genetic diseases. Experimental studies indicate that synonymous SNVs can lead to changes in the secondary and tertiary ...

ABSTRACT Embryo development involves fertilization of a mature ovum, which, after sequential cell divisions (2‐,4‐8‐cells and morula), undergoes differentiation into implantation competent blastocyst. The blastocyst comprises of inner cell mass surrounded by an outer layer of cells called the trophoblast (TSblast) that, upon attachment to the ...

The TP53 tumor suppressor gene: From molecular biology to clinical investigations
Abstract Extensively studied over the past four decades, the TP53 gene has emerged as a pivotal watchman in cellular defense and a key factor in cancer biology. TP53 is the most frequently mutated gene in human malignancies, 50% of which carry alterations to it.

In this concept article, it is discussed how spatial control over the formation and movement of biomolecular condensates (BMCs) can be achieved and how this type of control can help in the reliable generation and study of BMCs. Spatial control over BMCs is crucial in vivo and therefore also desirable for in vitro studies in order to approach relevant ...
