The ability of embryonic stem cells to give rise to all cells comprising the three germ layers – endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm – highlights a powerful in vivo system for the study of early embryonic development. Human embryonic stem cell...
Cell Migration is an integral part of normal biological development and biological processes, but also plays an important role in pathogenic processes including the progression of cancer towards metastasis. The mechanisms that regulate cell...
The ability of cells to migrate is important for development, neurite formation,
immune function, and other processes necessary for the life of an organism. However,
the gaining of an inappropriate migratory function, as well as, uncontrolled...
Cell migration is an essential part of many processes including embryonic development, wound healing, and unwanted processes like metastasis. Further study of cell migration is needed to help understand these processes. A cell model system (F9...
Evolution-education in America has been a fascination of the public ever since the Scopes trial of the 1920's. The controversy has not subsided despite the supreme court's rulings regarding this topic. As has been the case with many controversial...
The autosomal recessive mshi mutation in BALB/cBy mice phenotypically causes reduced testis size and male sterility in homozygotes. The development of the mshi male generative organs, prior to three weeks of age, appears to lack observable...
Infertility is a common problem, affecting approximately 10% of all couples attempting to conceive (Watson et al., 1998). Although numerous potential causes of human infertility exist, many cases are thought to have genetic etiologies, including...
