Abstract

The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in mammals functions as the principal circadian pacemaker synchronizing diverse physiological and behavioral processes to environmental stimuli. It consists of heterogeneous populations of cells with unique spatial organization that can vary among species, but are commonly discussed within a framework of two principal regions, the ventrolateral or dorsomedial halves of the nucleus or in other instances the core and shell. In both hamsters and rats, cells of different SCN regions have been shown to have different developmental histories. Using bromodeoxyuridine as a marker of cell division, the present study investigated the time of SCN cell origin in mice (C57BL/6) and their settling patterns within the nucleus. Results show that SCN cytogenesis occurs between embryonic days 12 and 15 and is complete 5 days prior to birth. Cells born on embryonic day 12 are mainly confined to a ventrolateral region of the mid-SCN, whereas cells produced later on embryonic days 13.5 and 14.5 form a cap around the cells produced first and extend into the posterior and anterior ends of the nucleus. These results suggest an ordered spatiotemporal program of SCN cytogenesis whereby a mid-SCN core is born first follo...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
