Article Synopsis
- Hox genes are crucial for defining segments in the muscular circulatory system of invertebrates, but it's challenging to link these segments to the vertebrate heart, especially regarding abnormalities seen in patients with HOXB gene deletions.
- Researchers used CRISPR to create a zebrafish model with a deletion in the hoxbb cluster, resulting in significant heart issues, including heart failure and atrioventricular regurgitation by day five.
- Further analysis showed that the deletion of the hoxb1b gene specifically led to these cardiac problems, suggesting it is a key player in regulating heart development by influencing other genes involved in the atrioventricular boundary.
Bloom forming algae and hypoxia are considered to be two main co-occurred stressors associated with eutrophication. The aim of this study was to evaluate the interactive effects of harmful algae Microcystis aeruginosa and hypoxia on an ecologically important mussel species inhabiting lakes and reservoirs, the triangle sail mussel Hyriopsis cumingii, which is generally considered as a bio-management tool for eutrophication. A set of antioxidant enzymes involved in immune defence mechanisms and detoxification processes, i.
