Article Synopsis
- The study examines the role of SoxB transcription factors in the neurogenesis of gastropods, focusing on their expression patterns from gastrula to hatching.
- The researchers used various techniques to analyze the spatial and temporal expression of these factors and observed differences in their presence between developmental stages.
- The findings suggest that prolonged expression of SoxB genes may enhance neurogenesis in gastropods, potentially influencing the diversity of their nervous systems.
The identification of tissue-specific promoters for gene therapeutic constructs is one of the aims of complex tumor therapy. The genes encoding the fibroblast activation protein () and the connective tissue growth factor () can function in tumor-associated stromal cells but are practically inactive in normal adult cells. Accordingly, the promoters of these genes can be used to develop vectors targeted to the tumor microenvironment.
