DNA damages cause changes in the structure of the genetic material and prevents the replication mechanism from functioning and performing properly. [1 ] The DNA damage response (DDR) is a complex signal transduction pathway which recognizes…
Zinc is a critical component in a number of conserved processes that regulate female germ cell growth, fertility, and pregnancy. During follicle development, a sufficient intracellular concentration of zinc in the oocyte maintains meiotic…
We studied the relative RNA expression of clock genes throughout one 24-hour period in biopsies obtained from the oral mucosa and skin from eight healthy diurnally active male study participants.
As an important economic natural resource in Southeast Asia, reticulated pythons (Malayopython reticulatus ssp.) are primarily harvested from the wild for their skins—which are prized in the luxury leather goods industry.
Circadian rhythms of cell and organismal physiology are controlled by an autoregulatory transcription-translation feedback loop that regulates the expression of rhythmic genes in a tissue-specific manner.
The Cajal body (CB) is an evolutionarily conserved nuclear subcompartment, enriched in components of the RNA processing machinery. The composition and dynamics of CBs in cells of living organisms is not well understood.
