Until now, the signals that control the development of the legs in insects and vertebrates have been thought to be different. But new work reveals similarities, which might have evolutionary ...

wingless and decapentaplegic signaling establishes the proximal-distal axis of Drosophila legs by activating the expression of genes such as Distalless and dachshund in broad proximal-distal domains ...

The research team has shown that a transcriptional co-activator ANGUSTIFOLIA3 (AN3) forms a signaling gradient along the leaf proximal-to-distal axis to determine cell-proliferation domain. In an ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . New or minimally invasive approaches show promise for producing better outcomes with proximal tibia and tibial ...

Epithelial cells constituting the epithelial tissue have two cell polarities, apicobasal polarity and planar cell polarity. In particular, planar cell polarity is essential for cell morphology and ...

In the lab, it’s easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units, or nephrons, that make up a human kidney. But ...

Dr. Thomas Lufkin and his colleagues at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have discovered that Dlx genes, the mammalian counterparts of the fruit fly Distal-less (Dll) gene, are required for normal ...

The DIPRA study compared distal and proximal radial artery access for cardiac catheterization and found comparable efficacy and a lower risk of occlusion One-year follow-up results showed promising ...

Objectives Youth football players are vulnerable to apophyseal injuries, which can have long-term consequences for health and performance. The objective was to assess the incidence, severity and ...
