Fundamental to the success of cell and developmental biology is the ability to tease apart molecular organization in cells and tissues by localizing specific proteins with respect to one another in a native cellular context. However, many key cellular structures (from mitochondrial cristae to nuclear pores) lie below the diffraction limit of visible light, precluding analysis of their organizat...

manipulations can be conducted at any desired time during an experiment. This novel approach to hydrogel design should be particularly appealing for fields such as developmental biology, stem-cell biology or tumour-cell biology, in which the role of the microenvironment in controlling cell function is particularly important and is still relatively poorly understood. With these novel ECM models ...

the present study was conducted with the objective of investigating the feasibility of using drainage water mixed with water to irrigate sugarcane (saccharum officinarum) in khuzestan province. the investigation was conducted in research center of sugarcane in farming seasons of years 2008-2009. four salinity levels of irrigation water were selected (s1, s2, s3 and s4 respectively with salinite...

Fish has been the subject of various research fields, ranging from ecology, evolution, physiology and toxicology to aquaculture. In the past decades fish has attracted considerable attention for functional genomics, cancer biology and developmental genetics, in particular nuclear transfer for understanding of cytoplasmic-nuclear relationship. This special issue reports on recent progress made i...

Recent studies suggest that endogenous neurotrophins play a central role in the patterning of cortical connections and in cortical synaptic physiology. Do these effects of neurotrophids reflect independent cellular events, or are they manifestations of a single cellular mechanism central to developmental plasticity?
