C. elegans Germline-Deficient Mutants Respond to Pathogen Infection Using Shared and Distinct Mechanisms

TeKippe, Michael; Aballay, Alejandro (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2010)

Reproduction extracts a cost in resources that organisms are then unable to utilize to deal with a multitude of environmental stressors. In the nematode C. elegans, development of the germline shortens the lifespan of the ...
Dynamics of Delta/Notch signaling on endomesoderm segregation in the sea urchin embryo

McClay, David (COMPANY OF BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2010)

Endomesoderm is the common progenitor of endoderm and mesoderm early in the development of many animals. In the sea urchin embryo, the Delta/Notch pathway is necessary for the diversification of this tissue, as are two ...
Identification of microRNAs expressed in two mosquito vectors, Aedes albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus

Skalsky, Rebecca; Cullen, Bryan (BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2010)

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression in a variety of organisms, including insects, vertebrates, and plants. miRNAs play important roles in cell ...
