Changes of Matrilin Forms during Endochondral Ossification
To understand the molecular properties of matrilin-3, a newly discovered member of the novel extracellular matrix protein family, we cloned a MAT-3 cDNA from developing chicken sterna. Real time quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction indicates that MAT-3 mRNA is mainly expressed in the proliferation zone of a growth plate. It is also expressed in the maturation zone, overl...
متن کاملRegulatory Rewiring in a Cross Causes Extensive Genetic Heterogeneity.
Genetic heterogeneity occurs when individuals express similar phenotypes as a result of different underlying mechanisms. Although such heterogeneity is known to be a potential source of unexplained heritability in genetic mapping studies, its prevalence and molecular basis are not fully understood. Here we show that substantial genetic heterogeneity underlies a model phenotype--the ability to g...
متن کاملProteolytic processing yields two secreted forms of sonic hedgehog.
Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is expressed in tissues with known signalling capacities, such as the notochord, the floor plate of the central nervous system, and the zone of polarizing activity in the limb. Several lines of evidence indicate that Shh is involved in floor plate induction, somite patterning, and regulation of anterior-posterior polarity in the vertebrate limb. In this report, we investiga...
متن کاملTrees and extensive forms
This paper addresses the question of what it takes to obtain a well-defined extensive form game. Without relying on simplifying finiteness or discreteness assumptions, we characterize the class of game trees for which all pure strategy combinations induce unique outcomes. The generality of the set-up covers “exotic” cases, like stochastic games or decision problems in continuous time (different...
متن کاملProteolytic processing of tau.
Tau aggregation is a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases, including AD (Alzheimer's disease), although the mechanism underlying tau aggregation remains unclear. Recent studies show that the proteolysis of tau plays an important role in both tau aggregation and neurodegeneration. On one hand, truncation of tau may generate amyloidogenic tau fragments that initiate the aggregation of t...
