daughters. However, our finding that α α-males sired their daughters' offspring less frequently than non-daughters' offspring remains highly significant when the analysis is restricted to the 34 offspring known to have been born to non­ first time mothers (Fisher's exact p = 0.0003). A third alternative explanation for our findings is that father–daughter matings are not avoided, but when they ...

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mothers and daughters have distinct fates. We show that Cbk1 kinase and its interacting protein Mob2 regulate this asymmetry by inducing daughter-specific genetic programs. Daughter-specific expression is due to Cbk1/Mob2-dependent activation and localization of the Ace2 transcription factor to the daughter nucleus. Ectopic localization of active Ace2 to mother nucl...

Introduction: Internal exposure to radon gas progeny can lead to serious biologic damages to the lung tissue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the absorbed dose by lung tissue due to the exposure from short-lived radioactive products of radon (222Rn) decay using Monte Carlo simulation. Material and Methods: A lung equivalent p...

Since their invention in 1994, fluorescent dyes such as carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) are used for cell proliferation analysis in flow cytometry. Importantly, the interpretation of such assays relies on the assumption that the label is divided equally between the daughter cells upon cell division. However, recent experimental studies indicate that division of cells is n...
