Brca1 is involved in multiple biological pathways including DNA damage repair, transcriptional regulation, and cell-cycle progression. A complex pattern of interactions of Brca1 with Trp53 has also emerged. Xu and coworkers found that haploid loss of Trp53 significantly reduces the embryonic lethality observed in mice with a homozygous in-frame deletion of Brca1 exon 11. They report that widespread apoptosis correlates with the embryonic lethality resulting from this homozygous delta11 Brca1 mutation. A mechanism responsible for Brca1-associated carcinogenesis is proposed. These experiments extend our knowledge of a complex Brca1/Trp53 relationship. However, the precise mechanisms through which Brca1 interacts with Trp53 to suppress mammary tumor formation have yet to be elucidated.

In order to investigate the causes of population degradation and resource decline, this thesis investigated the ecotoxicological effects of heavy metal Cu(Ⅱ) on the embryonic development of Sepiella maindroni. Results indicate significant effects of Cu(Ⅱ) concentrations on the developmental toxicity, teratogenicity, and lethality of S. maindroni embryos.

Background: Dermatophytes, the primary causative agents of superficial cutaneous fungal infections in humans, present a significant therapeutic challenge owing to the increasing prevalence of recurrent infections and the emergence of antifungal resistance. To address this critical gap, this study was designed to investigate the antifungal potential of 3-benzylideneindolin-2-one against dermatophytes and assess its in vivo toxicological profile using brine shrimp and zebrafish embryo models.
Methods: The antifungal activity of 3-benzylideneindolin-2-one was evaluated against 30 clinical isolates of dermatophyte species, including Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, Microsporum gypseum, Microsporum canis, and Epidermophyton floccosum, by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) using the broth microdilution method.

The transgene has been widely used for evaluating germline apoptosis in . Here we observed an increase in embryonic lethality in the MD701 strain that contains the transgene and a strain that outcrossed the transgene into the N2 wild-type strain. While the outcrossed strain had a significantly lower level of embryonic lethality than MD701, it still showed significantly higher embryonic lethality than wild type.

GDP Dissociation Inhibitor 2 (GDI2) plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by regulating Rab GTPases involved in vesicular transport. This review highlights the importance of GDI2 in various biological processes, particularly embryonic development, apoptosis regulation, cancer, and immune responses. GDI2's essential function in embryonic development is evidenced by the embryonic lethality observed in GDI2 knockout mice.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive oxygen containing molecules that are generated by normal metabolism. While ROS can cause damage to the building blocks that make up cells, these molecules can also act as intracellular signals that promote longevity. The levels of ROS within the cell can be regulated by antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), which converts superoxide to hydrogen peroxide.
