Abstract

Tendons are fibrous connective tissues that transmit force between muscle and bone. Whereas the molecular and cellular mechanisms of bone and muscle development have been well studied, that of tendon development is poorly understood. Using the Scx-GFP transgenic mice, we isolated GFP(+) cells from the developing mouse limbs at E11.5, E13.5, and E15.5, respectively, and carried out whole transcriptome RNA-seq analysis. Comparing the gene expression profiles of GFP(+) and GFP(-) cells in the E13.5 limb isolated over 1,500 genes that exhibited enrichment of mRNA expression by at least 1.5-fold in the GFP(+) cells. Of these, 778 genes showed expression up-regulated by more than 1.5-fold from E11.5 to E13.5 and 516 genes showed expression up-regulated by more than 1.5-fold from E13.5 to E15.5 in the GFP(+) cell population. Interestingly, over 30 genes encoding transcription factors are among the early-activated genes in the GFP(+) cells. Whole mount and section in situ hybridization analyses showed that many of these transcription factor genes have distinct patterns of expression during limb development and identified Foxf2 expression as a specific marker for differentiated dorsal limb tendon cells. Together, these data provide a va...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.
