lethal giant larvae is required with the par genes for the early polarization of the Drosophila oocyte.

Most cell types in an organism show some degree of polarization, which relies on a surprisingly limited number of proteins. The underlying molecular mechanisms depend, however, on the cellular context. Mutual inhibitions between members of the Par genes are proposed to be sufficient to polarize the C.

Aging affects choroidal proteins involved in CSF production in Sprague-Dawley rats.

Aging is currently associated with progressive declines of cerebral functions. From these, a decreased resistance to dehydration suggested alteration in choroidal control of brain homeostasis and reduced cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production in old subjects. In the present study, choroid plexuses of 20-month old Sprague-Dawley rats were compared with those of 3- and 10-month old rats.
