Spatiotemporal distribution of neural crest cells in the common wall lizard Podarcis muralis
Abstract Background Neural crest cells (NCCs) are migratory embryonic stem cells that give rise to a diverse set of cell types. Here we describe the dynamic distribution of NCCs in developing embryos of the common wall lizard Podarcis muralis inferred from 10 markers.

A Comprehensive Review of Mitochondrial Complex I During Mammalian Oocyte Maturation
ABSTRACT This review provides a comprehensive overview of Complex I during mammalian oocyte maturation. Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) is a crucial member of the electron transport chain and serves two principal functions during oxidative phosphorylation: NADH oxidation and proton pumping.

ABSTRACT An efficient nitrate uptake system contributes to the improvement of crop nitrogen use efficiency under low nitrogen availability. The High Affinity nitrate Transport System (HATS) in plants is active in low range of external nitrate and is mediated by a two‐component system (high affinity transporters NRT2 associated to a partner protein NRT3

This study cyclized conotoxin Vc1.1 using polyethylene glycol (PEG) linkers of different lengths and demonstrates that linker length modulates the peptide's helicity, thereby influencing its biological activity and stability. ABSTRACT α‐Conotoxin Vc1.1 is a disulfide‐rich peptide and a promising drug candidate for treating neuropathic and chronic pain.

Vestibular modulation by stimulant derivatives in a pentameric ligand‐gated ion channel
Background and Purpose Allosteric modulation of pentameric ligand‐gated ion channels (pLGICs) are critical for the action of neurotransmitters and many psychoactive drugs. However, details of their modulatory mechanisms remain unclear, especially beyond the orthosteric neurotransmitter‐binding sites. The recently reported prokaryotic symbiont of Tevnia

The silencing of transposable elements is mediated by piRNAs through post‐transcriptional and transcriptional regulation. In Drosophila, piRNAs are processed within unique non‐membrane structures: nuage in germline cells and Yb bodies in somatic gonadal cells.
