THE RNA HELICASE DDX6 CONTROLS EARLY MOUSE EMBRYOGENESIS BY REPRESSING ABERRANT INHIBITION OF BMP SIGNALING THROUGH MIRNA-MEDIATED GENE SILENCING

The RNA helicase DDX6 controls early mouse embryogenesis by repressing aberrant inhibition of BMP signaling through miRNA-mediated gene silencing

The evolutionarily conserved RNA helicase DDX6 is a central player in post-transcriptional regulation, but its role during embryogenesis remains elusive.We here show that DDX6 enables proper cell lineage specification from pluripotent cells by analyzing Ddx6 knockout (KO) mouse embryos and employing an in vitro epiblast-like cell (EpiLC) induction

Destructive effects of UVC radiation on Drosophila melanogaster: Mortality, fertility, mutations, and molecular mechanisms.

The detrimental effects of ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation on living organisms, with a specific focus on the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, were examined.This Wooden Train Set study investigated the impact of heightened UVC radiation exposure on D.melanogaster by assessing mortality and fertility rates, studying phenotypic mutations, and investig

The prevalence and experience of Australian naturopaths and Western herbalists working within community pharmacies

Abstract Background Naturopaths and Western herbal medicine (WHM) helmets practitioners were surveyed to identify their extent, experience and roles within the community pharmacy setting and to explore their attitudes to integration of complementary medicine (CM) practitioners within the pharmacy setting.Method Practising naturopaths and WHM practi
