Functional Analysis Of Primary Microcephaly Gene Product ASPM
(2013-06-20)Autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH) is defined by congenital microcephaly and associated mental retardation with head circumference of the affected individual at least 3 standard deviations below age- and ... -
Guanylyl Cyclase C Regulation And Pathophysiology
(2015-02-26)The survival of the any living organism depends on its availability to communicate, and a breakdown of cellular signaling can have dire consequences such as uncontrolled cellular proliferations or even cell death. Environmental ... -
The Phenomenon Of Blastocyst Hatching : Role Of COX-2 And NF-kB
(2014-12-01)The zona-pellucida (zona, ZP) is an adhesion-refractory, acellular coat enclosing the rapidly growing, free-living mammalian preimplantation embryo which undergoes successive cleavage divisions to form the blastocyst, ... -
Stress Signaling In Development And Carcinogenesis : Role Of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase
(2013-08-05)Rapidly growing tumor cells outgrow their blood supply resulting in a microenvironment with reduced oxygen and nutrients. Using an in vitro transformation model we found that cancer cells expressing the SV40 ST antigen ... -
Studies On Embryonic Stem Cells From Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein Transgenic Mice : Induction Of Cardiomyocyte Differentiation
(2013-07-17)Genesis of life begins with the fusion of female and male haploid gametes through a process of fertilization leading to the formation of a diploid cell, the zygote. This undergoes successive cleavage divisions forming 2-, ... -
Unravelling The Mechanisms Of Myofibrillogenesis And Human Myopathies Using Drosophila Mutants
(2013-07-18)Myofibrillogenesis is a complex process, which involves assembly of hundreds of structural proteins in a highly ordered manner to form the contractile structural unit of muscle, the sarcomere. Several myopathic conditions ...
