WHOLE GENOME ANALYSIS OF A SINGLE SCOTTISH DEERHOUND DOG FAMILY PROVIDES INDEPENDENT CORROBORATION THAT A SGK3 CODING VARIANT LEADS TO HAIRLESSNESS

Whole Genome Analysis of a Single Scottish Deerhound Dog Family Provides Independent Corroboration That a SGK3 Coding Variant Leads to Hairlessness

The breeds of domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris, display a range of coat types with variation in color, texture, length, curl, and growth pattern.One trait of interest is that of partial or full hairlessness, which is found in a small number of breeds.While the standard for some breeds, such as the Xoloitzcuintli, requires sparse hair on their e

Extracellular Vesicles From Notch Activated Cardiac Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote Myocyte Proliferation and Neovasculogenesis

Cardiac mesenchymal stem cells (C-MSCs) are a novel mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) subpopulation derived from cardiac tissue, which are reported to be responsible for cardiac regeneration.Notch signaling is believed to aid in cardiac repair following myocardial injury.In this study, we have investigated the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from No

ADP-ribosylation systems in bacteria and viruses

ADP-ribosylation is an ancient posttranslational modification present in Spillage / Water Pans all kingdoms of life.The system likely originated in bacteria where it functions in inter- and intra-species conflict, stress response and pathogenicity.It was repeatedly adopted via lateral transfer by eukaryotes, including humans, where it has a pivotal
