    Increased apoptosis and DNA double-strand breaks in the embryonic mouse brain in response to very low-dose X-rays but…

    Nov 6, 2014 - The use of X-rays for medical diagnosis is enhancing exposure to low radiation doses. Exposure to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic or magnetic fields is also increasing. Epidemiological studies show consistent associations of childhood

    Auxin-regulated gene expression

    Nov 17, 1986 - During the 1960s a wide range of studies provided an information base that led to the suggestion that auxin-regulated cell processes - especially cell elongation - may be mediated by auxin-regulated gene expression. Indirect evidence from our work,

    Epigenetic setting and reprogramming for neural cell fate determination and differentiation

    Sep 26, 2014 - In the mammalian brain, epigenetic mechanisms are clearly involved in the regulation of self-renewal of neural stem cells and the derivation of their descendants, i.e. neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, according to the developmental timing

    The birth of embryonic pluripotency

    Dec 5, 2014 - Formation of a eutherian mammal requires concurrent establishment of embryonic and extraembryonic lineages. The functions of the trophectoderm and primitive endoderm are to enable implantation in the maternal uterus, axis specification and delivery

    Dual functional selenium-substituted hydroxyapatite

    Jun 6, 2012 - Hydroxyapatite (HA) doped with trace elements has attracted much attention recently owing to its excellent biological functions. Herein, we use a facile co-precipitation method to incorporate selenium into HA by adding sodium selenite during

    Conducting tissues and phyletic relationships of bryophytes

    Jun 29, 2000 - Internal specialized conducting tissues, if present, are restricted to the gametophytic generation in liverworts while they may occur in both generations in mosses. Conducting tissues are unknown in the anthocerotes. Water–conducting cells (WCCs)

    Modelling mammalian cellular quiescence

    Jun 6, 2014 - Cellular quiescence is a reversible non-proliferating state. The reactivation of ‘sleep-like’ quiescent cells (e.g. fibroblasts, lymphocytes and stem cells) into proliferation is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration and a key to the growth,

    Liposomes in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine

    Dec 6, 2014 - Liposomes are vesicular structures made of lipids that are formed in aqueous solutions. Structurally, they resemble the lipid membrane of living cells. Therefore, they have been widely investigated, since the 1960s, as models to study the cell

    Cloning of an olfactory sensory neuron–specific protein in the land snail (Eobania vermiculata)

    Feb 7, 2004 - We have isolated a gene encoding for an olfactory sensory neuron (OSN)–specific protein in an invertebrate, the land snail Eobania vermiculata (GenBank accession number AY147909.). Using in situ hybridization, we detected expression of its mRNA in

    James Francis Tait. 1 December 1925—2 February 2014

    Dec 1, 2018 - James F. Tait FRS, with his wife Sylvia A. S. Tait FRS, made an indelible contribution to life science and medicine with the isolation and characterization of aldosterone, the most potent mineralocorticoid hormone produced by the mammalian adrenal
