Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the roles of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) derived from the Y chromosome in mice, particularly during spermatogenesis, amid the challenge of repeated sequences.
- Researchers identified new male-specific long noncoding RNAs (Pirmy and Pirmy-like RNAs) and their splice variants, revealing their potential links to genes involved in sperm function.
- The findings suggest that these ncRNAs may regulate autosomal genes through piRNAs, shedding light on their impact on male fertility and speciation in mammals.
Wounded tissue offers opportunity to microflora to adhere, colonize, invade and infect surrounding healthy tissue. The bacteria of the oral cavity have the potential to alter the wound healing process by interacting with keratinocytes. The aim of this study was to investigate mechanisms through which oral bacteria may influence re-epithelialization by interacting with gingival keratinocytes.

Identification of proteins localizing to the acrosome is fundamental to the understanding of its contribution to fertilization. Novel proteins are still being reported from acrosome.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFForkhead box O1 (FOXO1) is upregulated during bone formation and in response to stimulation by bone morphogenetic proteins. Studies presented here examined the functional role of FOXO1 in a well defined culture system in which pre-osteoblastic cells undergo terminal differentiation in vitro. Mineralizing cultures of MC3T3-E1 cells were examined with or without FOXO1 knockdown by RNAi.
