Translation of maternal mRNAs is crucial for early embryonic development. In cell fates become determined from the first division without new transcription, making this organism ideal for studying post-transcriptional regulation of lineage specification. Using low-input ribosome profiling combined with RNA sequencing on precisely staged embryos, we measured protein translation during the first four cell cycles of development.

Introduction: Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) is one of the important components of Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway, transduces signal for cell growth, differentiation, and development. Deregulation of MEK leads to a wide variety of cancer; hence, MEK is considered as potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of cancer. The MEK1/2 inhibitors in combination with other inhibitors showed better therapeutic outcomes in various malignancies including resistant or relapsed or refractory cancer.

However, the off-the-shelf gaming consoles used for virtual rehabilitation pose several practical challenges in deploying them in clinical settings. In this article, we present the design of a portable glove-based virtual hand rehabilitation system (RehabRelive Glove) that can be used at both clinics and homes for physiotherapy.
