Abstract

The expression of immediate-early genes that code for transcription factors has been extensively studied in the brain with regard to imaging functional activity. The components of the AP-1 transcription factor--in particular, c-Fos--and Zif268 have been widely used for this purpose. However, the precise details by which they are induced after synaptic stimulation remain unknown. Furthermore, the roles of these two proteins in neurons remains speculative and include such varied functions as short-term maintenance of cellular homeostasis to long-term changes that guide cortical plasticity. Current efforts at elucidating the physiological roles of AP-1 and Zif268 rely on assessing their expression in response to different conditions of sensory and pharmacological stimulation. In this review, we have examined the expression patterns of these transcription factors in the mammalian visual cortex under different conditions, with particular emphasis on the constitutive levels and how they change after visual deprivation and stimulation. A synthesis of this information offers further insight into their likely functions and the extent to which transcription factors may represent patterns of neural activity as a possible prelude to plasti...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.
