Background: Insights into the development and evolution of asymmetrical jaws will require an understanding of the gene regulatory networks that underpin the differential morphogenesis of the maxillary and mandibular domains of the first pharyngeal arch in a variety of gnathostomes. While a robust relationship has been demonstrated between jaw patterning and the Endothelin-Dlx gene axis, much less is known of the next level of genes in the jaw patterning hierarchy.
Results: Several genes, whose expression depends on Dlx5 and/or Dlx6, have been identified in mice.

Background: As natural reservoirs of diverse pathogens, small mammals are considered a key interface for guarding public health due to their wide geographic distribution, high density and frequent interaction with humans.
Methods: All formally recorded natural occurrences of small mammals (Order: Rodentia, Eulipotyphla, Lagomorpha, and Scandentia) and their associated microbial infections in China were searched in the English and Chinese literature spanning from 1950 to 2021 and geolocated. Machine learning models were applied to determine ecological drivers for the distributions of 45 major small mammal species and two common rodent-borne diseases (RBDs), and model-predicted potential risk locations were mapped.

SNARE-dependent mast cell (MC) exocytosis causes the release of a wide variety of mediators with important physiological/pathological consequences. Unlike synaptic transmission in the brain, which relies primarily on one set of exocytic SNAREs (i.e.

Yersinia enterocolitica, a bacterial enteropathogen that produces a variety of clinical manifestations in humans, includes six biotypes (B), called 1A, 1B, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and about 70 serotypes. The biotypes exhibit diverse pathogenic potential; while 1B and 2-5 may show ability to produce clinical symptoms due to the presence of chromosomal and plasmid (pYV) virulence genes, B1A is supposed a non-pathogenic biotype since it lacks pYV plasmid. Therefore, although B1A strains cause diarrhea in humans, their pathogenic potential has not yet been extensively studied.

Mechanistically based non-animal methods for assessing skin sensitization hazard have been developed, but are not considered sufficient, individually, to conclusively define the skin sensitization potential or potency of a chemical. This resulted in the development of defined approaches (DAs), as documented in OECD TG 497, for combining information sources in a prescriptive manner to provide a determination of risk or potency. However, there are currently no DAs within OECD TG 497 that can derive a point of departure (POD) for risk assessment.
