Abstract

The characterization of neuron populations by their immunoreactivity against parvalbumin- and calbindin (28-kDa)-antisera has been used to study the postnatal development of the visual diencephalic nucleus rotundus and the mesencephalic nucleus isthmi complex in zebra finches. In nucleus rotundus, parvalbumin-immunoreactivity was restricted to the neuropil during the first 10 days and appears additionally in somata around day 12 where it remains until adulthood. Calbindin-immunoreactivity of the very scarce neuropil and the few somata, which can be observed during the first two weeks, disappears until adulthood. Thus, the adult nucleus rotundus shows an almost complementary distribution of calbindin- and parvalbumin-immunoreactive structures: the numerous, heavily parvalbumin-positive somata, which are surrounded by dense immunoreactive neuropil are in sharp contrast to the complete absence of calbindin-immunoreactive somata. Only a thin rim surrounding this nucleus contains punctate calbindin-positive neuropil. In the nucleus isthmi complex, parvalbumin and calbindin staining patterns show markedly different developmental profiles. While the density of parvalbumin-immunoreactive neuropil in the parvocellular part of the nucleu...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.
