Upon fertilization, male and female nuclei fuse to form the zygotic nucleus in angiosperms. Karyogamy is considered to be essential for proper embryogenesis; however, the transcriptional dynamics during karyogamy in plant zygotes remain unclear. In this study, we performed a single-cell transcriptome analysis of rice zygotes at six early developmental stages (15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, and 6 h after gamete fusion) to reveal gene expression profiles during karyogamy in plant zygotes.

Can Quality of Life Tests Be Useful in Patients Affected by Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency?

J Clin Med

December 2024

Evaluation Service of the Canarian Health Service, Research Network on Chronicity, Primary Care and Health Promotion (RICAPPS), 38001 Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain.

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a genetic condition that predisposes a person to certain diseases over their lifetime, mainly including lung disease (in the form of emphysema) and liver disease (liver cirrhosis). Quality of life questionnaires are instruments designed to quantify the deterioration of a patient's health. : This study aimed to assess whether certain quality of life tests that are routinely used in clinical practice can be useful for patients with AATD.

: A combination of increased human presence in the Arctic zone alongside climate change has led to a decrease in the number of wild reindeer (). Studying the genetic potential of this species will aid in conservation efforts, while simultaneously promoting improved meat productivity in domestic reindeer. Alongside reducing feed costs, increasing disease resistance, etc.

The regulation of midline crossing of axons is of fundamental importance for the proper development of nervous system connectivity in bilaterian animals. A number of conserved axon guidance signaling pathways coordinate to attract or repel axons at the nervous system midline to ensure the proper regulation of midline crossing. The attractive Netrin-Frazzled/DCC (Net-Fra) signaling pathway is widely conserved among bilaterians, but it is not clear whether the mechanisms by which Net and Fra promote midline crossing are also conserved.
