Does age influence loss of heterozygosity?
The striking correlation between advanced age and an increased incidence of cancer has led investigators to examine the influence of aging on genome maintenance. Because loss of heterozygosity (LOH) can lead to the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, and thus carcinogenesis, understanding the affect of aging on this type of mutation event is particularly important. Several factors may affec...
متن کاملTsetse fly microbiota: form and function
Tsetse flies are the primary vectors of African trypanosomes, which cause Human and Animal African trypanosomiasis in 36 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. These flies have also established symbiotic associations with bacterial and viral microorganisms. Laboratory-reared tsetse flies harbor up to four vertically transmitted organisms-obligate Wigglesworthia, commensal Sodalis, parasitic Wolbachia...
متن کاملMHC heterozygosity and survival in red junglefowl.
Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) form a vital part of the vertebrate immune system and play a major role in pathogen resistance. The extremely high levels of polymorphism observed at the MHC are hypothesised to be driven by pathogen-mediated selection. Although the exact nature of selection remains unclear, three main hypotheses have been put forward; heterozygote advantage, ...
متن کاملNeuronal firing: Does function follow form?
Neurons generate diverse firing patterns to perform a range of specialized tasks. Experiments show that many features of these firing patterns arise from distinctive membrane properties, but theoretical work predicts that differences in neuronal morphology are also important.
متن کاملForm follows function or does it?
Many new nursing leaders assuming deanships, assistant or interim deanships have limited education, experience, or background to prepare them for the job. To assist new deans and those aspiring to be deans, the authors of this department, 2 deans, offer survival tips based on their personal experiences and insights. They tackle common issues, challenges, and opportunities that face academic exe...
